Apartment Projects Coming to Menifee

The County Board of Supervisors agreed to a plan today to use $2 million of funds from the Redevelopment Agency to help finance a complex of low-income apartments for seniors located in Menifee.

Dubbed, "The Vineyards at Menifee", it sits on the north-east corner of Newport Rd and Winter Hawk Rd. That would place it next to the Good Shepherd Lutheran School, and across Newport from the Mobil Gas Station.

Here's a description of the project according to the report from the County Clerk...
The Project will consist of 64 one-bedroom units, 16 two-bedroom units, and one on-site manager's unit. The one-bedroom units are approximately 561 square feet and the two-bedroom units are approximately 781 square feet. All units will be equipped with full kitchens, including refrigerator, dishwasher, combination range/oven, microwave, garbage disposal, and central heating/cooling. Each unit will also include a balcony or patio. Elevators will be provided to the second floor of all the buildings. The residents will have access to a 5,000 square foot community building that will include a community meeting room, kitchen, laundry room, and manager's office. Additional on-site amenities include a pool, putting green, and leisure areas for the seniors to use.

A total of thirty nine (39) units ("Assisted Units") will be reserved for low-income senior households whose incomes do not exceed sixty percent (60%) area median income for the County, adjusted by family size at the time of occupancy. The period of affordability will be for 55 years from the certificate of occupancy.
The report goes on to say that if residents of Menifee vote to approve cityhood, then this $2 million offer from the county's pocket becomes null and void. In that case, the company developing this project, Palm Desert Development Company, will have to either pay for it itself, or find a way to get the new city to pay for it.

Palm Desert Development Company specializes in developing low-income apartment projects, and have developed many others in Hemet, San Jacinto, Moreno Valley, and Rubidoux.

  • Don't believe the new apartment will be located next to the Good Shepard church. That location is just too small for the project. Base on what I read I believe the project will be located next to the mobile gas station across the street from the Good Shepard church

  • I'm not sure that these apartments will be behind the Mobil gas station. There is a large Townhome complex planned for there called Winter Hawk Ranch. Here's what I found for that location on
    I215homes.com .....

    Comprising 17 acres, Winter Hawk Ranch offers 2 and 3-bedroom town homes of Spanish and Tuscan architectural styles. Select floor plans feature lofts and great rooms, perfect for the growing family. Laundry rooms on the bedroom floors. There are many floor plans to choose from that may fit your style. Priced from the $200,000s.

    Adjacent to the Newport Road exit and north of the Scott Road exit, Winter Hawk Ranch is bounded by Newport, Bradley and Winter Hawk Roads, and Rim Creek Path.

  • They are building apartments next to the college too. Antelope Road and Holland.

    Apartments will create more crime, it's inevitable. Low income housing has never produced a positive thing for a city, except for the low income people. Look at Perris. The Enclave Apartment complex in menifee is filled with issues. So, stand by eveyone it's gonna get interesting.

  • Apartments are probably the only form of real estate that does well during tough economic times likes these. We'll probably be seeing a lot more of them.

  • I also hear that a new apartment construction is going up at McCall Blvd. and Antelope Dr. (accross Menifee Valley Hospital going west). I believe it's Antelope Ridge Apartment. Does anyone know the details behind this?

  • Here we go again, Senior this Senior that, there are more non-seniors in this community then seniors, there are families in need of places to live. Sun City is overran by Senior housing. Not every family can afford a home. Stop always allocating money to Special interest groups, it is time to move the people who have secretly running things out of office and put someone in there that cares for this community at large.

  • it is sooooo stupid to put apartments here.

  • I think this is what Menifee needs. There are hardly any multi-family options in the soon to be city.

    -and yes, I am a single family homeowner in Menifee.
