Murrieta 55+

[bnvst]

I’m interested in the 55+ communities in the Temecula Valley area. I’ve been warned away from Beaumont/Banning. The Palm Springs area is too hot for me. So far I’ve found The Colony in Murrieta, and the Four Seasons at Temecula Valley, and possibly the Bear Creek development. I understand that there is a great temperature variation with the afternoon breeze in parts of the valley. Do any of these 3 get that afternoon breeze, or others in the valley? I want to stay under $300K price.

Are there other plusses/minusses I should be considering? Does anyone have any info pro or con. Are these areas generally nice, or is there crime or other problems? I would like a community with alot of activities for the retired crowd that can keep me busy and provide a good opportunity to meet alot of new friends who are also retired and have alot of time on their hands.
Thanks for any input.

A couple of things to be aware of:
* Make sure you’re comfortable with the hospital/medical facilities available in the Temecula Valley. Currently, the hospitals in the area are rather backwater and definitely not up to big-city standards.
*Make sure you know what special assessments/Mello-Roos/community facilities district fees will be added to your tax bill each year. Generally, the newer communities (built in the last 10 years or so) can have VERY high special assessments, resulting in very high annual tax bills, no matter how the low value of the property goes. This may be the case at the 4 Seasons, since it’s fairly new.
*On the other hand, I’ve heard of some issues with soil subsidence/cracked slabs in the Colony. I got this info second hand so I don’t know how serious these issues actually are.

We live across the street from the colony.

Don’t come to Murrieta expecting mild temperatures. It has been blazing this summer. Generally, Temecula is a few degrees cooler than Murrieta, but still plenty hot.

I would check out the condos at Harveston where the lake at least puts some moisture in the air.

They are building loma linda university medical center just up the 215 (next to Clinton Keith RD),

That should be a state of the art Medical center as will as med school IMO.
