New builder communities in Temecula? (Carlsbad, Hemet: for sale, real estate, custom home)

[Sstevens09]

We are considering relocating from the east coast to north SD county. However, I've been checking out Temecula online b/c the name has popped up so often for great schools and affordable housing. We're looking for a larger home, 4,500+ sq ft, with at least 1/2 acre, preferably a pool, with a price range of $750-$800k. This does not seem at all doable in areas like Carlsbad, Encinitas and Poway. Are there communities/neighborhoods that would fit these criteria in Temecula? I'm a stay at home mom and my husband works mostly from home. It seems most schools in the area are pretty good, although we may homeschool, at least the first year. Thanks...

SSteven - i'm not going to go thru all of Bub's posts/threads.

finding a house that large will severely limit your search range no matter where you are looking. however, a few temecula valley areas stand out and i will list them by school district:

temecula -
meadowview (older homes, large lots, probably find it hard to get a 4500 sf house though)
wine country (east of temecula, large lots and big homes)
area south of Pauba, east of Ynez, north of de portola, and west of margarita
on occassion you will find a house on a larger lot (end of cul de sac) in one of the other development areas

De Luz (big avocado/citrus area to west of temecula) - it's technically murrieta schools

La Cresta - huge homes, large lots, north of De Luz and west of Murrieta (i think it's murrieta schools)

Between Murrieta, Winchester and Hemet, there is an unicorporated area that falls in the Murrieta school district. large lots and an occassional large home

not much difference between murrieta and temecula school districts.

We saw some nice new homes in a gated community (KB, I think) a few miles south of Temecula, on the east side of Fallbrook. Probably too small for you, but if you do an Internet search you might see something. Homes we saw seemed to start in the high $300s, but mainly over $400k, and they were starting to build larger, more expensive homes there. A bit less crowded than Temecula area, and a tad cooler, but also not as close to shopping, etc. You can find some new or almost new homes for sale by doing an Internet search or contacting a realtor (you're under no obligation to them). We worked with one realtor in the area who came highly recommended by a friend, if you want to PM me.

Yes you can definitely find a beautiful, large pool home, with at least 1/2 acre lot, in a great community, with your budget. Most schools are highly rated.


Some Temecula communities you should look into:
Meadowview: generally low HOAs, property taxes 1.1-1.2%. Custom homes with at least 1/2 acre lots,
Santiago Estates: no HOA, 5000 sq ft homes, at least 2.5 acres lots, property taxes 1.1-1.2%, a little higher price range but I just saw a few homes in your budget.
Both communities are centrally located.


Otherwise, look into wine country or De Luz.

I love, or I should say my kids love, the various classes and activities that the city offers.
