Whether yoga in the morning, ballroom dancing in the afternoon or dominoes in the evening, there’s always plenty to do in Sierra Dawn Estates. This 55-plus manufactured home development in Hemet fosters a connected community with four clubhouses that host programs six days a week, keeping residents moving with exercise classes, games and more. It’s a signature quality of a neighborhood that has accessible housing prices and is located close to a variety of commercial attractions. “Any type of manufactured home you could own, it’s in that community. It’s nice,” says George Williams, a Realtor with Coldwell Banker Associated Brokers Realty, who is on the Southwest Riverside County Association of Realtors board of directors.
Residents own their land here, an advantage over other communities
Though this neighborhood is composed exclusively of manufactured houses, they’re not all made the same. A lot of the homes in Sierra Dawn Estates date back to the 1960s, but some were constructed as recently as the 2000s. Square footage ranges anywhere from 500 to more than 2,000. Many properties have attached covered carports, and some come with garage doors. Residents also own the land their house is on, which is not always the case with manufactured homes. “The equity, that’s the biggest kicker there,” Williams says. “Because if you don’t own the land, you don’t get any value for it. The lots over there are probably worth about $130,000 just for the lot. And then you put the house value on top.” Properties in Sierra Dawn Estates have prices anywhere from $55,000 to $300,000, based on condition and square footage.

More parks are available outside the neighborhood, including the 16-acre Mary Henley Park, where there's a walking path. The area also has multiple golf courses, such as the 18-hole circuit at the public Seven Hills Golf Club, just a mile away. “Seven Hills is the perfect spot for them,” Williams says, of golfers in Sierra Dawn Estates. “It’s right across the street. It’s a super flat golf course, it’s very forgiving. If I was living there, that's where I would golf.”
