55+ Communities
Active adult living across Menifee, Murrieta, and Temecula
Southwest Riverside County is one of Southern California's most popular destinations for active adult living. From Sun City, the region's original 55+ community, to newer gated enclaves like The Oasis and Esplanade at Sommers Bend, the area offers a wide range of age-qualified neighborhoods. Cathy has helped hundreds of seniors and retirees sell their family homes and settle into their next chapter, and she knows these communities inside out.
Why the valley is a 55+ destination
Southwest Riverside County draws active adults from across California for the same reasons: single-story floor plans that are easier to live in, a mild climate, year-round golf and recreation, active social calendars, and a cost of living that beats the coast. Menifee, Murrieta, and Temecula all offer medical care, shopping, and freeway access close to their age-qualified neighborhoods.
A community for every season of life
Sun City opened in 1962 as Del Webb's second active adult community and remains the region's anchor, with more than 4,700 homes and recreation centers. The Oasis and The Retreat at Holiday in Menifee, The Colony, Four Seasons, and the Knolls neighborhoods in Murrieta, and Taylor Morrison's Esplanade at Sommers Bend in Temecula each offer a different character, from established ranch-community roots to brand-new resort-style living.
Selling your current home to move here
Most downsizers sell the longtime family home first, so they know exactly what they are working with, then buy in their new community with confidence. The transition involves decluttering decades of belongings, preparing a well-lived-in home for sale, navigating homeowners association requirements, and timing the move. Cathy has helped hundreds of families through every one of these steps, often including a rent-back so the move to the new community can happen on their schedule.
