About the Neighborhood

Resort-style amenities, family-built design.

Spencer's Crossing is the most amenity-rich master-planned community in north Murrieta — a 600-acre development that started construction in 2014 and is still adding villages and floor plans. The community is structured around an unusually deep amenity package: multiple pools, splash pads, sports parks, dog parks, miles of walking and hiking trails, and a community center that hosts year-round programming.

The neighborhood pulls a specific buyer profile — active families who want resort-style weekends in their own neighborhood, walkable schools, and the kind of master-planned execution that holds up over time. If your kids are doing AYSO, Little League, or club volleyball, the sports park is steps from your door.

Architecturally, Spencer's Crossing leans California traditional and farmhouse — newer construction with open floor plans, dedicated home offices, modern energy efficiency standards, and most homes built with solar standard.

Why Spencer's Crossing

What makes this north Murrieta's amenity flagship.

01

Resort-style amenities

Five-plus pools and splash pads, multiple sports parks, walking trails, dog parks, and a community center with year-round programming. The HOA dues actually translate to lifestyle here.

02

Vista Murrieta HS zone

Most of Spencer's Crossing feeds into Vista Murrieta High — one of the most sought-after attendance zones in southwest Riverside County. Strong academics, athletics, and arts programs.

03

Newer construction

Most Spencer's Crossing inventory is 2014 onward — modern floor plans, energy-efficient construction, dedicated home offices, and most homes built with solar standard.

04

Walkable community

Sidewalks, traffic-calmed streets, school-walking routes, and amenities clustered so most homes are within a 5–10 minute walk to a pool, park, or sports field.

05

Trail network

Spencer's Crossing has the largest community trail network in the valley — hiking, walking, jogging, and dog-walking routes that connect across the entire community.

06

Strong resale demand

Things to Know

Trade-offs to factor in.

  • HOA dues typically run $130–$180/month — pricier than most Murrieta neighborhoods, but the amenity package justifies it
  • Mello-Roos applies to most Spencer's Crossing inventory — typically $2,500–$4,500/year on top of standard property tax
  • Lot sizes are smaller than older Murrieta neighborhoods — most parcels 4,500–8,000 sqft
  • Sports park traffic on weekends — fantastic if your family uses it, mildly busy if you don't
  • Still growing — newer phases are still under construction, so expect some construction noise and traffic depending on village
  • Solar lease vs. owned — confirm whether the solar is owned, leased, or PPA before you remove contingencies
