New community in a rapidly growing area

Centrally located in Menifee, Paloma Valley is one of the newest neighborhoods in this quickly growing city. The area gives residents a feeling of suburbia in the city, with everything from tract housing to small farms. In fact, the neighborhood is divided between densely populated housing developments in the northern portion and more spaced-out homes on several acres in the southern part. Originally inhabited by the Pechanga band of the Luiseno people, the Spanish claimed the area in the 1700s. Today, the influence of both groups can be seen and felt in the area’s architecture and nearby town names, like Temecula and Murrieta.

Spanish-inspired housing on a variety of lot sizes

“The community i super popular because there’s new construction with open concept kitchens, and builders are bringing in new turnkey houses. Lot sizes are a little bigger, so you feel like you’re getting more for your money. It’s a nice place to live where you can walk your dog and enjoy the parks,” says Karen Myatt, Realtor with Century 21 Masters and 35 years of real estate experience. “The entry-level price has been going up, but there’s still some options here.” While detached single-family homes make up most of Paloma Valley, there’s still a good variety of housing styles. Estate homes on large lots sit among more modest tract housing or semi-rural residences on several acres. Spanish-Revival designs and ranch-style dwellings were chosen to maximize space while protecting residents from extreme desert temperatures. Many combine the two styles, keeping a single-story design and incorporating stucco walls and red-clay roof tiles. Winding streets end in cul-de-sacs where homes often have front and back yards. Houses sell for a median price of $600,000 after 30 days on the market, although housing prices range from $520,000 to $885,000 for ranch-style and Spanish-inspired residences.
