Living in Audie Murphy Ranch means a newer home (most were built from about 2011 on), two resort-style pool complexes, miles of paseos and a $137 monthly HOA in most neighborhoods. Over the last 12 months, 79 single-family homes sold inside the community at a median of $703,000, or about $263 a square foot, based on our count of CRMLS closed sales. I'm Jordona Hertz, the #1 and top realtor in Menifee by closed sales volume (CRMLS, 2024 to 2026), and Audie Murphy Ranch is where I've sold more homes than any other agent every year since 2021.
For the map, the neighborhood list and the basics, start with our Audie Murphy Ranch guide. This post is the version I'd hand to an owner who wants to know what their house sits inside right now, and what it's likely worth.
What is living in Audie Murphy Ranch like day to day?
Most of daily life here runs through the amenities your HOA dues pay for. The Ranch House sits on 3.8 acres with two pools, a spa, a tot lot, a grassy amphitheater, barbecues, fire pits and a clubhouse lounge with a kitchen. The Plunge is the second pool complex. Add Spirit Park, the sports courts and an 11-acre sports park with ball fields, all tied together by paseos that run between the streets. Plenty of owners walk to the pool instead of driving.
The community calendar fills in the rest. Saturday morning yoga, movie nights and food truck nights are the regulars, and in my experience they're a big reason people stay put once they move in.
For errands, Newport Road takes you east to Countryside Marketplace at the 215, about seven minutes away, and that's where most of the weekly stops happen. Old Town Temecula is roughly 25 minutes south when traffic cooperates. At commute hours it often doesn't, and Newport Road near the freeway is where you'll feel it most.
Which schools serve Audie Murphy Ranch?
Three public schools come up most often for addresses in Audie Murphy Ranch:
- Taawila Elementary (K to 5), 30344 Stage Coach Road, inside the community, Menifee Union School District
- Kathryn Newport Middle (6 to 8), 29792 Audie Murphy Road, Menifee Union School District
- Paloma Valley High (9 to 12), 31375 Bradley Road, Perris Union High School District
Addresses are from the California Department of Education school directory and the districts. Attendance boundaries can shift, so confirm the assigned schools for a specific address with the district before you count on them. We check this for every buyer we work with.
What does it cost to own a home in Audie Murphy Ranch?
HOA dues are $137 a month for most of the community and $237 a month in Province. Keystone Pacific manages the association. The builders were Brookfield (Province), Richmond American (The Ridge and Horseshoe Ridge), Woodside (Remington and Dakota) and RSI (Willow Tree), so very little here is more than about 15 years old.
The catch is Mello-Roos. Audie Murphy Ranch sits inside a Community Facilities District, and the special tax is set per parcel and by phase, so two houses on the same street can carry different amounts. I pull the figure for the exact address instead of quoting a community average, because an average would mislead you. Our post on Mello-Roos in Menifee shows where to find it on a tax bill.
What did Audie Murphy Ranch homes sell for in 2026?
Our count of CRMLS closed single-family sales inside the Audie Murphy Ranch outline, for the 12 months ending late October 2026: 79 sales, a $703,000 median price, about $263 per square foot, a median size of 2,800 square feet and 69 median days on market.
Here's how those 79 sales split by price:
- 7 under $600,000
- 27 from $600,000 to $700,000
- 27 from $700,000 to $800,000
- 11 from $800,000 to $900,000
- 7 over $900,000
So 54 of the 79, about two thirds, closed between $600,000 and $800,000. There are 26 homes active right now. At the past year's pace (about 6.6 sales a month), that's roughly four months of supply, which gives buyers time to compare.
The longer view, from the same CRMLS count:
| Year | Sales | Median price | Median days on market |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2019 | 116 | $429,990 | 96 |
| 2021 | 142 | $590,000 | 48 |
| 2022 | 124 | $652,500 | 55 |
| 2023 | 84 | $672,500 | 52 |
| 2024 | 73 | $700,000 | 59 |
| 2025 | 89 | $710,000 | 78 |
| 2026 (to late Oct.) | 66 | $709,250 | 68 |
The median is up about 65% since 2019, and it has barely moved since 2024.
That's the honest read. Values in Audie Murphy Ranch have held, but homes take longer to sell than they did in 2021 and 2022, so the price you start at matters more than it used to.
What do buyers pay more for in Audie Murphy Ranch?
From what I see in our own showings and offers, a few things consistently pull a higher price here:
- The lot and what it backs to. Two homes a street apart can have very different lots, and buyers notice.
- The phase and the builder. Between the builders and the phases, layouts and finish levels change from street to street.
- A short walk to the Ranch House, The Plunge or a paseo entry. Buyers ask about it at almost every showing.
- Owned solar. Paid-off panels are an easy yes. A lease has to be transferred to the buyer, and some buyers don't want it.
- Move-in condition. With homes sitting a median of 69 days, fresh paint and flooring often decide which of two similar houses gets the offer.
What is being built near Audie Murphy Ranch?
A few projects within a short drive are worth watching:
- Boulders II. In October 2026, the Menifee Planning Commission voted unanimously to recommend approval of a proposed 240-unit apartment complex on about 10 acres north of Newport Road, east of Berea Road, next to the existing Boulders apartments, despite concerns about a road through part of Spirit Park (Menifee 24/7). It still goes to the City Council.
- Menifee Boardwalk. A proposed commercial project at Newport Road and Menifee Road: five buildings totaling 38,560 square feet on 6.02 acres, with restaurant and retail space and two drive-thrus, per the state CEQA filing.
- Menifee Village Specific Plan Amendment No. 7. The City Council voted 4 to 1 in October 2026 to introduce changes covering commercial land near Newport and Menifee roads and residential areas north of Domenigoni Parkway, allowing higher-density housing while keeping the overall cap at 5,344 homes and preserving about 39 acres of hillside open space. City staff noted it doesn't approve any specific project.
For owners, more restaurants and shops close by usually help. New apartments don't compete directly with a 2,800-square-foot single-family home, but they do add cars to Newport Road, and buyers will ask about it.
What is my Audie Murphy Ranch home worth?
Start with the bands above, then narrow it down to the last 90 days of sales in your own neighborhood and floor plan. With 26 homes active and buyers taking their time, the houses that sell quickly are priced to today's comps, not to what a neighbor got in 2022.
This is the community I know best. No agent has sold more homes in Audie Murphy Ranch than I have, every year since 2021 (CRMLS, sides on closed sales). In 2024 that was 23 sides to the next agent's 2, and so far in 2026 it's 17 to 4. Over the last 12 months I listed 19 of the 79 homes that sold, while the next listing agent had 4 and 58 different agents had a listing here. I was also ranked #9 among all Riverside County agents by Real Producers in 2026, and our team has more than $350 million in sales across 550+ transactions.
If you're getting ready to sell, read up on the HOA, CFD and utility disclosures Audie Murphy Ranch sellers owe so nothing surprises you in escrow. And when you want a real number for your address, with the Mello-Roos pulled and your floor plan compared, request your home valuation and I'll put it together for you.
