North Murrieta offers less expensive access to suburban shopping
North Murrieta’s is a collection of relatively new suburban developments, shopping centers and healthcare facilities on — as its name suggests — the northern edge of Murrieta, about 5 miles from downtown. “It’s kind of on the outskirts of Murrieta, so it’s a little less expensive, but it’s still nice. Everything in Murrieta is nice,” says Beth Good, owner of Good Estates & Ranches, who’s been selling in Murrieta for almost 20 years. Despite its spacious suburban homes, prices are lower because it’s slightly removed from the town center and just outside Murrieta’s award-winning school district. Still, its convenience makes it plenty popular. “You’ve got super easy access to Interstate 215 and hospitals right there,” Good says. “It’s also got a Costco and other shopping. That’s always a plus.” Even though the neighborhood is a few miles from the heart of Murrieta, residents find that having shopping and employers a few minutes from home is an even trade-off.

Washington Avenue is the main drive lined with restaurants, bars and cafes. Murrieta’s Town Square Park is a few blocks from Washington. It has an amphitheater that hosts a lineup of artists.

Plenty of space to play at Alderwood Park
Alderwood Park is in the Alderwood development, and has a couple different sections. The first section is on the corner of Baxter and Whitewood roads and has a spacious playground and two large fenced-in areas for dogs to play off-leash. The park’s other area is a bit east on Baxter and offers a playground, along with a small clubhouse, pickleball courts and two half-basketball courts. Hiking trails wind through the hills east of the neighborhood. Mountain bikers, on the other hand, usually opt for the trails at Greer Ranch, across Interstate 215.
