Tuscany Hills Lake Elsinore is a master planned community built by Pulte Homes.  It is just East of the 15 freeway by the Railroad Canyon Rd exit. Get off the freeway and turn East on Railroad Canyon Rd – then turn left at first light on Summerhill Rd.  There is a noticeably long – steep grade upward as you approach Tuscany Hills CA – it makes me think to service the transmission in my car.  It is that kind of steep – but it is worth the drive.  In fact, it is this hill that makes Tuscany Hills California a hidden gem of a community.  Because it is up and over the hill-facing away from the freeway – on the far side of the hill – most of the homes are out of view.  I have met several locals that have never even been to Tuscany Hills.  The homes are terraced on the hillside facing East.  Many homes have breathtaking views of Canyon Lake CA with a back drop of the San Bernardino National Park mountain ranges.  There are two mountain ranges that command attention – the mountains behind Hemet and the mountains behind San Bernardino.  In the winter they are snow capped and just beautiful.   The sun sets in the west and it illuminates the Eastern view – in a most spectacular way.

There is a beautiful waterfall display as you enter Tuscany Hills.  There are many hillsides lush with trees and shrubs- and that doesn’t happen in the Lake Elsinore valley without a crew and lots of water.  So there is a Tuscany Hills HOA or Home Owners Association.  But I must say- that you can see the benefits everywhere.  The entire community is exceptionally nice and open with large open areas that are maintained – it is very pleasant.  Additionally, there is a community center that offers Tennis courts – a junior Olympic size pool and a fitness club.  See photo right.  It is common to see people walking their dogs or jogging around the neighborhood, they are out just enjoying the surroundings.  And need I mention the near perfect SoCal weather?  OK, I will!  For the California residents our weather is reported on the news as valley temperatures meaning it is a little cooler in the winter and a little hotter in the summer than on the coast.  We get some frost on the cars overnight on some nights in January and February – but we also get some seventy and eighty degree days as well.  In the summer it gets warmer than the coast and we get some days that go over one-oh-five in August and September.  I consider air conditioning mandatory for good sleeping during the hottest months of summer.  Bear in mind, I have only mentioned the two coldest months and the two hottest months – that leaves about eight months of pretty perfect weather!  And no June-gloom like on the coast.      All the streets have Italian names to go with the Tuscany Hills theme.   There is Villa Roma, Bella Vista, and Via De La Valle to mention a few.  And of course, it looks like the rugged hills of Tuscan Italy. Here is a photo of a expansive park with two baseball diamonds and those awesome mountain views.  It is great on an eighty degree day – to view the snow capped mountains!  The entire community has been approved to build two thousand homes in total.  And they are still building homes in small numbers.
