A resort-style retirement community

Tucked away in the heart of the Menifee Valley, Sun City is a vibrant, lively community for homeowners looking to settle down and enjoy retirement. "It's peaceful and quiet, yet active. If you want to be involved, there are lots of community events. If you want to hop in your golf cart and drive around to everything, you can do that," says Tiffany Williams, part owner of Williams Realty Group, who has sold several homes in the neighborhood. "It has beautiful amenities such as pools and bocce ball. It's a perfect retirement community." Developed in the 1960s by Del Webb, this four-square-mile 55+ community has everything residents need to stay active in retirement. There are various clubs for different activities, several sports available and a pool and spa where residents can relax in the hot California sun. And if homeowners ever need to leave the neighborhood—which is rare—Interstate 215 is just east of the community, providing an easy route to nearby cities in Southern California.

Established housing at lower prices than nearby neighborhoods

Homes in Sun City are primarily modest ranch-style houses built from the 1950s to the 1990s. Most homes have two to three bedrooms and are one story. Many homes around the neighborhood have Spanish influences, such as tile roofs and stucco siding. Spacious built-in garages are common, and sidewalks line the streets, connecting neighbors throughout the community. Tyler Hungerford, leader of the Hungerford Team with Keller Williams Riverside, says housing prices are another big draw for buyers in Sun City. "The housing prices are reasonable. You get to downsize into something with your own yard, your own place, and still not have to pay an arm and a leg," he says. Homes in the neighborhood typically cost between $300,000 and $600,000, depending on the number of bedrooms. HOA fees for Sun City are relatively low, costing residents about $33 per month. Buyers should be aware that Sun City and the rest of Menifee have a high risk of wildfires due to the dry land and open natural areas around the neighborhood.
