I have lived in Harveston for 2 years. The location in relation to the amenities of Temecula is second to none. The lake/pond is decent. Most people that congregate there are cool, but sometimes you have these low lifes, and those who think its a great place to fish? Thats not to say that homowners don’t have a bit of an ego because they live here. There is a bit of an elitist attitude that a few residents radiate IMHO, kinda like Morgan Hill.
Taxes are high, around 2% and hoa is over 130. This makes it expensive to live here. Most lots are very small here. The bigger homes have bigger lots, especially the subdivisions that have single stories, those lots tend to be bigger. The lot I’m on is about 6500sqft, but you can find a few over 10,000sqft like so. http://www.redfin.com/stingray/do/printable-listing?listing-id=776955
The parks, paths, pool, and clubhouse are all nice. After happily renting here for 2 years, I probably wouldn’t buy here for the reasons above. I want a bit more privacy. The lennar homes in here have great floorplans, and lots of extras. There are lots of foreclosures, and IMHO many more to come.
