We live in Murrieta, and from my point of view, Harveston is very well situated, and well maintained. We have young children and often take them to the park there. The Winchester Rd. offramp — the main way in and out of Harveston — is a real problem but in maybe 2 years another ramp is planned.
There are lot of businesses now along Hwy 79, so that area is worth checking out. We used to live in Bridlevale (behind Wolf Creek) and liked our neighbors and neigborhood.
