New Town-Home Communities Underway in Menifee

Cheryl Ferrulli, CEO of the Menifee Sun City Chamber of Commerce, wrote the following article regarding some new communities under way in Menifee...

Affording a home is tough, especially when it's your first purchase. The median home price in Riverside County is $422,000, up $9,000 from the previous quarter, according to DataQuick real estate tracking system. Fortunately, builders are bringing new types of housing that will help keep the American Dream within reach.

Brenson Communities is planning to build two luxury town-home communities in Menifee. Christensen Ranch is planned along Antelope Road, just north of the golf driving range, and The Bridge At Menifee is slated for Haun Road, just west of I-215. Each town-home community will have a pool, sports courts, playgrounds, spas and community centers.

However, there are a few features that make these two neighborhoods unique. Most the town-homes at Christensen Ranch and The Bridge at Menifee will have backywards and their own garages. The two communities are being designed for the working professionals, families that are looking to make their first purchase, and seniors who want to downsize into a town-home but still want a small backyard for gardening.

Each neighborhood will have a homeowners association to maintain the landscaped grounds, community areas and ample open space. Units are expected to range from 1,100 sq. ft to 2,180 sq. ft, with 2-4 bedrooms.

The 30-acre Christensen Ranch and the 17-acre The Bridge at Menifee are expected to generate more than $3 million in fees to improve local roads and about $2 million for local schools. Brenson Communities - a family owned, award willing development company based in San Diego - will also install traffic signals, improve the flood control system and widen the roads around the two communities.

For more information about the two communities, please call the Christensen Ranch hotline toll free at 800-995-6867 or The Bridge at Menifee hotline toll free at 800-896-6308.
