A suburban community in the heart of Murrieta
The Murrieta Oaks neighborhood occupies a central locale in this Riverside County city. As more workers throughout Southern California seek lower housing prices, they head to places like Murrieta; the area continues to grow, both in population and commercial development. “Murrieta has been a bedroom community for so long, and now, the city has incentivized new businesses to come in and make it more convenient for everyone,” says Kellee Spillman-Malone, a broker with Reliable Realty, who has sold in the area for 20 years. Interstates 15 and 215, known locally as the 15 and 215 freeways, provide convenient routes for those looking to live in the more affordable suburbs and commute to bigger cities.
