Community to Be Built in Murrieta : Master-Planned Rancho Bella Vista to Occupy 700 Acres

"When Rancho Bella Vista is completed in about 10 years, it will have 2,580 homes, condominiums, town houses and rental apartments, 10 acres of office space, a school, park, lake with clubhouse and about 150 acres of natural open space, according to Warren Toman, president of the Toman Co."

"A 34-acre lake, stocked for fishing, is to be the centerpiece of the community, master planned by the Granada Group of Irvine. Also in the plans is a 10-acre elementary school site and a five-acre park; about one-fourth, or 150 acres of the new community, will be natural open space through the preservation of the Tucalota Creek."

"Ground breaking is scheduled in early 1988 on master improvements, including extending Murrieta Hot Springs Road and enhancing the natural lake, with first move-ins planned for late 1988."

Rancho Bella Vista is a major master-planned community being developed by the Toman Co. on 780 acres in Murrieta, Riverside County, near the Interstate 215 and 15 intersection. The $250-million project will feature 2,580 residential units including homes, condominiums, town houses, and rental apartments, along with 10 acres of office space, an elementary school, and recreational facilities. A 34-acre lake stocked for fishing will serve as the community centerpiece, complemented by a five-acre park and approximately 150 acres of natural open space preserving Tucalota Creek. Groundbreaking on master improvements is scheduled for early 1988, with first move-ins expected in late 1988 and full completion anticipated in approximately 10 years.
