What wears out first here

The things we look at first in Menifee Lakes homes, and what to watch as you walk a property.

How the read works →
Roofing

Roofing

Original composition roofing is well past a typical service life on any home here that hasn’t already been replaced.

Plumbing

Supply plumbing

1989–1990s-era copper, or on the earliest phases potentially polybutylene, should be confirmed rather than assumed — ask for repipe records.

Drainage

Golf-adjacent drainage

Lots bordering fairways and water features directly raise the usual irrigation-runoff and lot-line drainage questions worth checking on any golf-adjacent property.

The inspector's note

Zarko Maletin, Realtor and certified home inspector

I do not just see what a house is. I see what it will cost, what it needs, and what it is really worth.

Menifee Lakes is a collection of phases, and the details matter. The items above are the ones that come up here first — I look at each home in the context of its own phase and street before anything about price gets discussed.
