Village-style living adjacent to town centers

Since its 2003 groundbreaking, Harveston has remained one of Temecula's most prestigious neighborhoods. Truly a community all its own, the quiet village offers quality schools within walking distance of home and relaxing neighborhood amenities, including a trolley service to nearby town centers that are bursting with entertainment. Whether looking to catch the latest blockbuster, play soccer at local parks, or grab a drink with friends, Harveston offers the option to do many different activities while still maintaining a residence in a calm, manicured lakeside community.

Japanese persimmons and Spanish homes

Within Harveston, serenity is the goal. The swooping streets that jut out from Harveston Drive encircle a centerpiece lake, offering panoramic views to homes with waterfront backyards. But no matter where in the neighborhood, one- and two-story single-family homes and condominiums sit on small, colorful yards filled with ginkgo, palm and persimmon trees that cast shade onto freshly-paved sidewalks. As far as designs go, some homes go fully Spanish-style with their stucco exteriors and red terracotta roofs, while others adopt a new traditional style with subtler nods to Spanish designs. Pricing is fairly consistent with the rest of Temecula, offering marginally lower buy-in on average. Single-family homes often start at $600,000 or above, up to about $900,000. Condos sell for around $500,000 to $600,000.

Morning walks to school

Thanks to Ysabel Barnett Elementary's prime location, young students can walk to the school daily, resulting in a Niche score of A. Then, students begin attending James L. Day Middle, which has an A Niche score and is just over a mile east of Harveston. Upon reaching high school, walking to school becomes an option again with Chaparral High School, an A-minus-rated school by Niche. The school's student newspaper, the Platinum Press, has won first place in the American Scholastic Press Association six times.

Lap lanes and lakeside paths

After school, students frequent Harveston Community Park for after-school sports and playground games. Dog walkers hit the paved path at Harveston Lake Park for a waterfront lap. Swimmers meanwhile make laps in Harveston's Olympic-sized community pool and splash park. And on rainy days, dancers can still break a sweat by enrolling in a group class inside the Harveston Lake House.

Trolley service to Old Town

Offering walking paths and its own public transportation, Harveston is easy to navigate. A community trolley travels the neighborhood, offering easy, low-cost access to nearby entertainment without a car, including Old Town Temecula. "It has a little bit of country western theme to it with stores, restaurants and bars," says local Realtor and property manager Melissa Pires, who oversees more than 200 properties in the area. "And there's a small theater in Old Town where they have children's productions and a variety of other kinds of shows."

Deli sandwiches in walking distance

Most locals will take the shorter trolley trip and visit Promenade Temecula, a massive outdoor town center directly next to Harveston on Winchester Road. With over 160 stores for clothing, tech retailers and restaurants, the town center is a popular gathering place. Locals go there to catch a screening of the latest blockbuster at Regal Edwards Temecula or make use of their Costco Wholesale membership. If not a member, plenty of other grocery stores line the Winchester Road commercial corridor. And if the hubbub of a town center isn't the goal, Harveston's own Beyond Food Mart is a centrally located convenience store locals walk to for slices of pizza and deli sandwiches.

Youth arts are the chalk of the town

Promenade Temecula is a hotspot for local events, such as a weekly farmers' market. In March, color pours into the town center during the Side Walk Chalk Expo and the local Kiwanis Club's Youth Art Exhibit. The Harveston HOA also organizes 12 recurring events for community residents throughout the year.

Things to consider

The neighborhood is in a wildfire ember zone and shares proximity with high-risk areas. Additionally, homeowners in Harveston pay a special assessment every year, known as "Mello-Roos," in addition to standard property taxes. "Based on a percentage of the purchase price of a home, that money is used by the County towards building roads, sidewalks, schools, hospitals and whatever needs to be built to make it a full town," says Pires. "Mello-Roos can double your original property tax once it kicks in."
