Suburban sprawl in growing Murrieta
Los Alamos Hills is known for its mountain views and proximity to the 40-acre Los Alamos Hills Sports Park. “The sports park is amazing. It’s huge, at least two or three football fields, plus multiple soccer and baseball fields,” says Shane Bernal, an associate broker with Exp Realty of California and a resident with over 20 years of experience. “But the main draw for families with children is the schools.” The Murrieta Valley Unified School District, earning an A on Niche, offers STEM programs, and residents are within walking distance of Rail Ranch Elementary School.

Mountain views near a popular sports park
The scenery of the Murrieta Hogbacks surrounds Los Alamos Hills. “I wouldn’t say it has a neighborhood feel—it’s very mixed.

Mediterranean residences, built from the 1980s to the mid-2010s, range from $565,000 to $600,000 for 1,200 square feet. For larger, renovated properties on multi-acre lots, prices can climb from $800,000 to $1.6 million. On average, homes stay on the market for 38 days, and property taxes tend to run higher than the national average.

Working in San Diego and Orange County
Traffic congestion on Interstates 215 and 15, known locally as the 215 and 15 freeways, is common during working hours due to Murrieta’s role as a commuter town. “Some people commute to San Diego and some commute to Orange County. With COVID, many people started working remotely,” Shane Bernal says. He notes that, depending on the time of day and route, the drive can take up to two hours one way.
