To answer some of your questions, I am not concerned about schools as my kids are all grown up. I am currently renting in Diamond Bar, $2700 a month for 3000 ft. The area is nice, but the house is junk. I am semi-retired, work out of my home, so I can move anywhere, within reasonable distance to LA and OC. The prices of these new homes in Elsinore are the lowest anywhere I’ve seen in So. Cal. for the footage. Lennar includes standard many upgrades, such as granite kitchens, stainless appliances including refer, complete yard fencing, etc. Seems like at close to $100 a ft, I don’t know how the builders can go much lower. I have looked in Murrieta, but prices are higher and it’s further down the freeway. I would prefer to be closer to LA than further (for my work). Again, $100 a ft. for nice and new is awfully tempting.
