Drive through any new development in Menifee and what do you see?
Rows of nearly identical homes, stacked on tight lots, with basic finishes and fewer square feet than ever.
It’s not your imagination — developers today are incentivized to build smaller, faster, and cheaper, leaving buyers with fewer options for:
- Space
- Privacy
- Lifestyle flexibility
- Long-term value
Why Builders Are Downsizing New Homes
There are 3 big forces changing the new construction game:
- Cost of materials + labor
Builders are cutting square footage to protect margins - Zoning & density mandates
Cities want more homes on smaller lots = compressed footprints - Targeted price-point strategy
Builders are focusing on “entry-level” price bands — not long-term custom living
“Our builder rep literally said they can’t build anything over 2,800 sq ft on that side of the neighborhood anymore.”

So Where Does That Leave You?
If you want:
- A large lot (10,000+ sqft)
- Two full living spaces
- Solar + battery ownership
- Turnkey upgrades
- A home you can grow into (not out of)…
You won’t find it in a builder showroom.
But you will find it at 26219 Silver Birch.
The Rare Opportunity:
A Full-Sized, Upgraded Home with Dual Living — Built Before the Downsizing Era
Here’s what makes it one of the most unique properties in this part of Menifee:
- Two complete living quarters
One for you, one for family, income, or guests
(Includes: private entry, full kitchen, living, laundry, and bonus room/office) - Premium lot + views
Hilltop 10,000+ sqft lot with no rear neighbors - Modern luxury features
$340K+ in upgrades: solar, battery, hydrotherapy spa, high-end flooring, custom landscaping - True privacy and separation
Unlike builder “next-gen” models, this one offers real distance between units
Why Now?
Homes like this aren’t being built anymore — and won’t be again any time soon.
The market is shifting to smaller homes, higher HOA density, and price points that don’t align with long-term lifestyle buyers. If you want:
- Space
- Privacy
- Dual-living potential
- And a move-in ready finish…
You’ve found your opportunity.

Final Thought:
It’s not just the square footage that makes this home different — it’s the lack of compromise.
You can’t build this again.
But you can buy it.
