West Murrieta's anchor zip — covering Bear Creek, The Colony 55+, California Oaks, Copper Canyon, Alta Murrieta, and the historic Murrieta Hot Springs corridor.
92562 is the older, larger of Murrieta's two zip codes — the side of the I-15 where the city actually started. It runs from the historic Murrieta Hot Springs corridor on the north all the way through California Oaks, Alta Murrieta, and the Bear Creek Country Club gates on the southwestern edge. If 92563 is "newer Murrieta," 92562 is "rooted Murrieta" — more variety, more character, and more home for the dollar.
Price range is unusually wide. Entry-level townhomes and 55+ condos in The Colony start in the $400s. Mid-market family homes through California Oaks and Alta Murrieta sit in the $600s–$800s. Inside Bear Creek's gates, custom homes on golf-course lots regularly clear $1.5M and the top of the market pushes past $3M.
