Murrieta Area 55+ Community Guide
Four Seasons at Murrieta is an established 55+ active-adult community in unincorporated Riverside County near Murrieta and Temecula, California. Although properties use Murrieta, CA 92563 mailing addresses, the official Four Seasons Homeowners Association confirms that the community lies outside the incorporated City of Murrieta.
Four Seasons contains 524 single-family homes and was developed by K. Hovnanian beginning around 2000. The community is known for primarily single-story residences and The Lodge, an approximately 13,000-square-foot recreation center surrounded by roughly 10 acres of association recreation grounds. The official association currently identifies more than 50 clubs and numerous indoor and outdoor recreation opportunities, including a swimming pool and spa, fitness facilities, pickleball, tennis, bocce, putting and golf-practice areas, walking paths, library, billiards, card rooms, craft space and ballroom.
Four Seasons is NOT a guard-gated or gated community. Buyers should review the current HOA governing documents, age-qualification requirements, dues, property taxes and any property-specific special assessments before purchasing. This guide explains Four Seasons homes, floor plans, The Lodge, HOA amenities, age qualification, property taxes, buying, selling and how Four Seasons compares with Murrieta-area 55+ communities.

No. Despite the community's established name and Murrieta, CA 92563 mailing addresses, Four Seasons at Murrieta is located in unincorporated Riverside County rather than within the incorporated City of Murrieta. The Four Seasons Homeowners Association specifically advises residents that the community relies on Riverside County for a number of governmental services. Riverside County Planning also identifies Four Seasons through County Specific Plan No. 182.
This distinction can matter when buyers are researching government jurisdiction, road services, code enforcement, planning, property records, taxes and assessments, and other governmental services. A Murrieta postal address does not necessarily mean a property lies within Murrieta city limits.
You can review the services information shared by the Four Seasons Homeowners Association and the county's approved planning documents for Riverside County Planning, Specific Plan No. 182 (Four Seasons) for confirmed details.
Four Seasons combines detached single-family housing with a centralized HOA recreation complex. Homes were developed primarily during the early 2000s and are known for single-story layouts.
More than two decades of ownership have created significant differences between properties. A buyer shopping today may find one home with original finishes, and another with extensively remodeled kitchens and bathrooms, updated flooring, newer HVAC, updated windows, solar, covered patio improvements, modified landscaping, updated appliances, major-system improvements, and different garage configurations. Two homes from the same original model can have very different condition, functionality and market value today. The community's recreational and social infrastructure is centered around The Lodge rather than a golf course or a guard gate.
No. Four Seasons at Murrieta is not a guard-gated or gated community. This is an important distinction because buyers comparing Murrieta-area 55+ communities may confuse Four Seasons with The Colony, which has controlled guard-gated access. Four Seasons should be evaluated based on its homes, association amenities, HOA structure and location rather than assumptions about gated access.
The Lodge is the centerpiece of Four Seasons. The official Homeowners Association identifies it as an approximately 13,000-square-foot recreation center, and it provides a substantial portion of the community's HOA amenities. Indoor facilities identified by the association include exercise and fitness facilities, a library, billiards, card rooms, craft space, and a ballroom and event space.
Amenities, access policies, schedules and operating hours can change, so buyers should review current HOA information on the official Four Seasons Homeowners Association website.
The official Homeowners Association states that approximately 10 acres of grounds surround The Lodge. Current association information identifies these outdoor amenities:
75-foot swimming pool
Spa
BBQ and picnic areas
Bocce courts
Badminton courts
Pickleball courts
Tennis courts
Basketball half-court
Horseshoe area
Garden and gazebo
Putting green
Golf-practice area
Sand-practice area
Shuffleboard
Outdoor fitness equipment
Walking paths
These are association amenities for residents and authorized guests rather than unrestricted public recreation facilities. Verify current rules and availability with the association. Four Seasons does not have the same golf-course relationship as The Colony.
The official Homeowners Association currently identifies more than 50 clubs plus association-hosted events. Examples historically identified by the HOA include water aerobics, pickleball, tennis, bocce, bowling, bridge, bunco, poker, mahjong, samba, books and reading, lifelong learning, arts and crafts, and other resident-organized interests.
Offerings, participation requirements and schedules can change. Review the current association calendar on the official HOA website before relying on any particular activity.

Original builder floor plans shown for general reference. Dimensions, options, room configuration and current property condition may vary. Buyers should verify the recorded living area, bedrooms, bathrooms, garage configuration, optional rooms, casita or guest configuration where applicable, permitted additions, remodeling and the actual current floor plan of the individual home.
Four Seasons is made up of detached single-family residences developed primarily during the early 2000s. Depending on the original model and later improvements, you may find:
Single-story layouts
Two-, three- or four-bedroom configurations
Den or office spaces
Open living areas
Formal dining areas
Two- or three-car garage configurations on certain models
Courtyards and covered patios
Private yards and mature landscaping
Updated kitchens
Remodeled bathrooms
Solar
View lots
Original-condition interiors
Because the housing stock is now more than 20 years old, evaluate major systems as carefully as cosmetic features: roof, HVAC, water heater, windows, plumbing, electrical systems, appliances, solar ownership or financing, exterior components, drainage, landscaping, patio improvements, permits and deferred maintenance. A remodeled home and an original-condition home of the same model may represent very different ownership costs and market values.
Yes. Four Seasons operates with a homeowners association. Buyers should review the current HOA disclosure package, including CC&Rs, bylaws, rules, current HOA dues, budget, reserve information, financial statements, meeting information, architectural requirements, age-qualification rules, current assessments if any, insurance information, and any pending or approved special assessments.
HOA dues change over time, so the current amount should be verified from the association and transaction disclosures rather than an older webpage figure. Unless it is specifically supported for the individual property and current governing documents, do not assume the HOA covers landscaping or exterior maintenance of your home.
Four Seasons is an age-qualified 55+ community. Buyers should review the current association governing documents and age-verification requirements before purchasing or planning occupancy. Team Integrity Realty can help you obtain the current HOA disclosure package so you understand the rules that apply before you commit.
The HOA controls access to The Lodge. Its current published policy states that prospective home buyers may tour The Lodge when accompanied by their real estate agent and an onsite staff member, with advance arrangements required. Procedures, hours and appointment requirements can change, so buyers should have their agent coordinate with the association using the current procedure. See the Four Seasons Homeowners Association information page for up-to-date contact and access details.
Taxes should be reviewed for the specific home rather than one permanent neighborhood tax percentage. Current and historical public records are inconsistent in how certain special-assessment charges are labeled: some MLS records show annual special assessments and sometimes code a charge as CFD/Mello-Roos, while other materials describe properties differently.
Buyers should review the current Riverside County property-tax bill, APN, special-assessment line items, the preliminary title report, HOA disclosures, applicable tax/assessment disclosures, and current taxing-agency information when needed. The official HOA also notes that the community receives certain Riverside County services and references County Landscape Area CSA-143. The most accurate question to ask is: "What taxes and special assessments apply to this specific Four Seasons property?"
Purchase price alone does not determine true monthly cost. Consider the mortgage payment, property taxes, special assessments, HOA dues, homeowners insurance, solar obligations if applicable, utilities, property condition, expected maintenance, and major-system replacement needs.
Two homes with the same purchase price can produce very different monthly and long-term ownership costs. Team Integrity Realty helps buyers examine the complete ownership picture so the decision is based on the real numbers rather than the listing price alone.

Some California homeowners age 55 or older may qualify under Proposition 19 to transfer an eligible property-tax base to a replacement primary residence elsewhere in California. Eligibility, deadlines and tax calculations depend on the homeowner and the transaction, so we do not promise savings or eligibility. Reviewing early may help with planning.
Consult the appropriate county assessor and/or a qualified tax professional regarding individual eligibility and tax consequences. Learn more in our California Proposition 19: What Sellers Need to Know guide.
The original model alone does not determine today's value. Two decades of ownership have created significant differences between properties that originally had the same floor plan. Value may be affected by:
Original floor plan
Recorded living area
Current room configuration
Lot position and view
Interior remodeling
Kitchen and bathroom updates
Flooring
Windows
Roof
HVAC
Solar
Patio improvements
Landscaping
Garage configuration
Major-system improvements
Overall condition
Current Four Seasons competition
Recent comparable sales
An automated estimate may not fully recognize the difference between a substantially remodeled home and an original-condition property of the same model. For help preparing your home, see the Murrieta Home Selling Guide and the Seller Fees and Closing Costs guide.
The model and original configuration provide the starting framework for how a home typically compares with its neighbors.
Quality, extent and recency of interior and exterior updating can move a home well above or below its model's typical baseline.
Within the community, a home's lot location, orientation, privacy and any view can meaningfully affect buyer demand.
Covered patios, landscaping, hardscaping and other outdoor upgrades add usable living space and curb appeal.
Roof, HVAC, windows, plumbing, electrical and solar condition and age influence both value and the buyer's expected ownership costs.
Active Four Seasons homes competing for the same buyers, including their pricing, condition and days on market, shape positioning.
Most-relevant closed sales are analyzed with adjustments for floor plan, condition, lot and improvements.
Showings, interest and feedback help gauge whether a price is generating real buyer activity.
Pricing is set to attract the right buyers while reflecting the home's true strengths relative to its competition.
We model what the seller can expect to net after estimated costs so the listing price is connected to real outcomes.
Marketing should communicate the original floor plan, current condition, remodeling, lot and view characteristics, outdoor improvements, major-system updates, HOA amenities, community location, and the features that distinguish the property from competing Four Seasons homes. Team Integrity Realty uses professional digital marketing, search optimization and AI-assisted marketing tools to help your home reach the right buyers.
With 524 homes, inventory in Four Seasons can vary significantly through the year, and permanent price ranges quickly become outdated. Useful indicators for buyers and sellers include active Four Seasons homes, pending sales, recently closed sales, original floor plan, property condition, remodeling, lot position, days on market, price reductions, current competing inventory, and buyer activity.
