Riverside County attractions surround the Serena Hills community
Serena Hills is a largely residential neighborhood bordering the rolling vineyards of Southern California Wine Country. “It’s a family-oriented town, and multiple generations are starting to stay here for its affordability and top-notch schools,” says Realtor Cathie Kong with Reliable Realty Inc, who has eight years of industry experience. The neighborhood’s convenient location near Interstate 15, known colloquially as the 15 freeway, allows for direct commutes to Orange County or San Diego, both about 65 miles away. Large shopping malls and the historic district of Old Town Temecula, with its rustic Old West architecture, boutique stores and restaurants, are also a short drive. Serena Hills offers a slower pace and relatively low housing prices, compared to the greater Southern California region, without sacrificing proximity to the area’s biggest attractions.
Residences with red-tiled roofs, stucco facades and mountain views
The neighborhood features sidewalks, palm trees and vistas of the Temescal Mountains. “People move here for the beauty,” Kong says. “When you look up, there are no utility poles [blocking views], and homeowners keep their lots looking nice.” Housing consists of single-family Spanish Revivals and Mediterranean-style homes, with prices starting at around $550,000 for properties needing restoration and typically topping out at nearly $1.3 million. Houses with the highest price tags often feature outdoor patios with fire pits and courtyards. Smaller communities are also within the neighborhood and have shared amenities like playgrounds and pools. The area's CAP Index Crime Score is 1 out of 10, significantly lower than the national average of 4.
