Four Seasons at Murrieta

Independent Assessment

Four Seasons at Murrieta's 524-home count, 2000-2005 build span, and K. Hovnanian's Four Seasons branding are confirmed consistently across multiple sources, including K. Hovnanian's own national Four Seasons brand page and multiple community-specific directories. As with the brand's other California communities, K. Hovnanian's Four Seasons product line is nationally structured and marketed as legally age-restricted, supporting reasonable confidence in the age restriction, though the Four Seasons at Murrieta Homeowners' Association's own recorded CC&R text has not been independently obtained. The reported HOA fee (just above $200/month, with one listing at $218/month) came from directory-secondary sources and should be confirmed directly with the association.

Who May Find This Community Appealing

Buyers who want a smaller, more intimate K. Hovnanian community (524 homes, compared to the brand's larger 1,106-home Hemet community) near Temecula wine country are a strong fit for Four Seasons at Murrieta. Its location off Interstate 15 at Winchester Road offers convenient access to Temecula's wineries and restaurants without living directly within the more tourist-oriented wine country itself.

K. Hovnanian built Four Seasons at Murrieta between 2000 and 2005 under its national Four Seasons 55+ active-adult brand, delivering 524 single-family homes across nine floor plans ranging from 1,772 to 2,773 square feet. The community is now fully built out, with all current purchase activity being resale.

Community Layout & Lifestyle

Four Seasons at Murrieta offers a low-maintenance 55+ lifestyle centered on The Lodge recreation center and its outdoor pool, sport courts, and putting green.

Age Qualification & Material Ownership Restrictions

Four Seasons at Murrieta operates under K. Hovnanian's national Four Seasons active-adult brand, consistently marketed and structured as a legally age-restricted 55+ community across independent sources. Buyers should request the full current governing documents directly from the association, as the Four Seasons at Murrieta Homeowners' Association's own recorded CC&R text has not been independently reviewed. As a California community, it is also subject to the state's Unruh Civil Rights Act (Civil Code Section 51.3), which requires all occupied units to have at least one resident 55 or older — a stricter standard than the federal Housing for Older Persons Act's 80% threshold.

Tradeoffs & Limitations

Four Seasons at Murrieta does not have a full on-site golf course — only a putting green and golf practice area — so golfers who want to play regularly should plan to travel to a nearby course and should not assume golf-course-community pricing or amenities. Because current resale pricing has not been independently confirmed, buyers should request recent closed comparables directly from a local agent before making pricing assumptions.

Hovnanian option (524 homes, built 2000-2005) compared with the larger, older, independently governed The Colony at California Oaks (1,586 homes, developed 1989-2005 with an on-site golf course).
