Will Harveston reach $100 a square?

[Anonymous]

Pizzaman, the problem is I don’t need a 3000+ sf house, so I want to see the smaller homes approach $100 a sf. In harveston, they might not get there, but I’d be happy if they get close and I did see a couple close to that yesterday.

I don’t like high tax rates, don’t know what it is in Harveston. Also, I don’t like high HOA, but the tradeoff is living in a lake community.

I like South Temecula too. I visited wolfcreek to look at the new homes, they were all too high right now. I’m sure you can get good deals on the bankowned, but I’m concerned about the casino.

Anyway, I have two boys who would enjoy the atmosphere on the lake. There were a lot of kids around, families, couples and dogs. I don’t like the layout of the homes with the alley driveways, so I wouldn’t be getting one of those. And it did feel congested on the streets with the teeny, tiny lots.

Like others have posted on here, there is an elitest attitude in there, so I was surprised that a couple of people had their garages open and they were filthy looking. I felt like saying, “Man, clean your garage!”

I rent in Harveston. It may not be everyone’s cup of tea, but we are happy here, and if we stay in Temecula, would likely consider buying here as well. I believe the property taxes are 1.9% total. Ouch. HOA, on average, is around $116 a month. One of my favorite things about the location is that it is slightly walkable and I can head to the library/Trader Joe’s/drugstore etc. on foot or on bike.

I agree with the previous poster that said that the larger houses are more likely to creep closer to 100 per sf. I think the smaller houses will continue to drop, but let’s face it, you can build a bigger 2 story house more cheaply than a smaller single story house. The smaller homes have dropped a lot in the last twelve months, and I would expect them to continue to drop, even if NOT to the 100 psf point.

As for an elitist attitude. . . I don’t know that I’ve really experienced that. When I’m out trotting around the lake, there seems to be a wide variety of people out walking with their families. Neighborhoods are made up of people, and people come in all flavors if ya know what I mean! Some are down to earth, some are elitist, but most are somewhere in between. I think in general that southern Temecula seems to be slightly more elitist (not necessarily in a bad way) than the north end. IMHO.

As for the garage thing. . . well, once again, people are people. Nobody’s perfect. Just cause I’m a a neat freak doesn’t mean my neighbor will be. (Although if I ruled the world. . .!)At least there is a strong HOA that stays on top of the exterior issues. The pool, lake activities, etc. are great for families in the summer.

My wife and I toured the Harveston condos last Saturday, and she loves the look of the area. They quoted me $252/mo HOA for the condos, which included cable, trash, and a few other things I’m forgetting. After she went down the list it didn’t seem so horribly high. They were very nice, but we’ll be needing a yard.

Even the sfr properties there tend to have small lots. I just can’t see paying for a 4-5,000 sq ft lot when I could get 6 or 7 in south Temecula for less.

The Fairways gated community in Redhawk looks awesome. Anyone know the taxes/HOA there?

Ren, the lakefront lots and those very close to it are tiny. That’s the one thing about Harvestion I don’t like. That is what makes the community have a congested feel like people are on top of one another. $252 for homeowners is too high. I wouldn’t want to buy a condo in there, I’d want one of the SFR’s with a bit of a yard and a traditional garage layout (not the alley garage).
