"Copper Canyon near Cole Canyon Elementary"

This is a lovely neighborhood of tract homes nestled in the foothills of the Santa Rosa Plateau near the highly regarded Cole Canyon Elementary School. The homes are all single family, rather than having apartments. The streets are quiet and tree-lined, within about a mile of the elementary school and just under 3 miles to the distinguished Thompson Middle School and Murrieta Valley High School. The commute south on the 15 to Camp Pendleton is just over an hour. Murrieta is on the Safest Cities list. The schools are really great.

Pros Cons
  1. Lovely mix of architecture
  2. Outstanding Schools
  3. No HOA
  4. Low taxes
  1. Possibly too quiet
