Neighborhood in Temecula, California

Custom homes on acres of land
Santa Rosa Plateau prioritizes open-space living, as homes have a 5-acre minimum and are all custom-designed. While single-story homes remain the most popular, the large areas of land allow residents room to spread out and build. Many homes are ranch-style and have barns and ponds in the backyard. Most homes fall between $1.1 million and $4.5 million. With no streetlights, high-density housing or through traffic, residents can enjoy a secluded neighborhood with manicured properties and unobstructed views of nature.

Outdoor enthusiasts visit Cleveland National Forest and Santa Rosa Plateau Ecological Preserve
There are two significant parks in the neighborhood that residents can use. The Cleveland National Forest is one border of the neighborhood, spanning 400,000 acres (about half the area of Yosemite National Park) of trees and wildlife. The Santa Rosa Plateau Ecological Preserve has public recreational trails and vernal pools, which are seasonal wetlands with endangered species, such as the fairy shrimp. Kelly Smith, local Realtor with Allison James Estates & Homes says, “You can see the whole cycle of wildlife here,” which attracts outdoor enthusiasts from around the area.The Murrieta Valley Unified School District serves students
The Murrieta Valley Unified School District serves Santa Rosa Plateau students. Murrieta Elementary School and Thompson Middle School both have scores of A-minus on Niche, and Murrieta Valley High School has an A. Families looking for a charter option can send their children to the TK-12 Elite Academic Academy, which offers individualized homeschooling, virtual learning and blended options.

Annual Cowboy Jubilee supports The Nature Education Foundation
With around 1,300 properties in the neighborhood, residents go out of their way to connect despite the secluded neighborhood structure. Smith says, “You have privacy, but you can always reach out to your neighbors. We take care of each other and keep each other safe.” The Santa Rosa Plateau community prioritizes philanthropy, most notably through The Nature Education Foundation, which strives to educate youth about nature. The foundation brings children from surrounding cities up to the hiking areas and empowers them to be proactive toward nature preservation. The community also holds the annual Cowboy Jubilee, a large, upscale cowboy-themed party with live music and an auction to raise money for the foundation. The Fourth of July parade features various animals, including mini donkeys and horses, dressed in red, white and blue. Residents host a monthly Ladies' Luncheon, where 40 to 60 women meet for a potluck.Shopping in Temecula
Santa Rosa Plateau residents can get a rural neighborhood feel while also being only 8 miles from the freeway. Residents can do their grocery and retail shopping in the wine-country town of Temecula about 9 miles away, with stores such as Albertsons and Target. The Temecula Valley Hospital is also in this area, providing residents with specialty services in their heart and neuroscience divisions.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
