Outlying French Valley's suburban comforts near SoCal highlights

Built along California Highway 79, Outlying French Valley offers suburban comforts — including easy access to shopping, dining and solid schools — while not far from attractions in Los Angeles, San Diego and Orange County. "You can get a newer home that's move-in ready, and you're still only about an hour or two away from all the other cool stuff Southern California has to offer," says Justin Short, a Realtor with KW Temecula, who sells homes in the neighborhood. "In general, it's a friendly area with a lot of young families." The neighborhood offers local parks stocked with sports courts and playgrounds while being just a short drive from a recreational lake and vineyards for weekend getaways.

Southwestern-style homes, townhouses and condos

Ranch and two-story stucco homes are common in Outlying French Valley. Many have a Southwestern look, and some stand out for their A-frame roofs, Craftsman-style beams and shiplap siding. As home sizes, luxuries and lots increase, prices range from around $505,000 to approximately $1.4 million. Age is also a factor, with some homes being newly built. "It's less expensive than other parts of Southern California. The average price point is in the $700,000s, and you can get a big home for that," Short says. Wide driveways lead through carefully tended yards, maintained for beauty and to prevent wildfires, which are common in Riverside County. Sidewalks create comfortable pathways while palm trees, oaks, flowering bushes and trimmed hedges decorate the area. The average lot size is under 8,000 square feet, but some homes sit on over 2 acres. Condos and townhouses also have a foothold, ranging from around $443,000 to $527,000. The area's CAP Index Crime Score is 2 out of 10, lower than the national average of 4.
