ParticipantFYI, $252 for the HOA fees is only for the townhouses. They have the regular Harveston community dues, plus the townhouse community maintenance dues.
Have you checked out some of the rings of homes a bit further out from the lake? There is a little more variety in terms of lot size, although none of them are particularly large. That is a plus for me, because I don’t care for yard work!

ParticipantI 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.

ParticipantI really hope this ban sticks, and I hope California paves the way for gay marriage/civil unions to be legal in other states. Love is love, no matter where you find it. If two people want to make a public commitment to one another and ensure rights of property inheritance, etc., I really hope they get their chance. Society is a constantly evolving thing, and this is an evolution that is past due.
