If you have been watching the hills just behind Old Town Temecula and wondering what is being built there, Altair Temecula is the community everyone has been waiting for. After months of speculation, real floor plans, square footage ranges, and early price expectations are now available, and this community is officially taking shape.

Altair is no longer just a concept. It is a confirmed new construction community in one of the most desirable and unique locations in Temecula Valley. In this guide, I am breaking down exactly what is known so far, what is still coming, and why buyers who position themselves early tend to secure the best opportunities in communities like this.

As the local real estate team with direct access to the builder, Andrew Lewis and Performance Real Estate Group are already helping buyers stay ahead of the public release and understand how to navigate this community strategically.

Where Is Altair Temecula Located?

Altair Temecula is being built directly behind Old Town Temecula, tucked into the hills overlooking one of the most vibrant destinations in Southern California. This location offers a rare blend of privacy and convenience.

From Altair, residents will be just minutes from:

• Old Town Temecula restaurants, shopping, live music, and nightlife

• Speakeasies, theaters, and community events

• Temecula Wine Country, roughly a 15 to 20 minute drive

• Easy access to major roads without being in the middle of freeway congestion

This side of Temecula has historically been commercial and business-focused, making Altair one of the first residential opportunities of its kind in this area. Buyers are essentially getting access to a brand new side of Temecula that has never been lived in before.

Altair Temecula Community Overview

Altair is designed as a master-planned, resort-style community with a strong emphasis on lifestyle amenities rather than large private backyards.

Planned amenities include:

• Resort-style pool with shared cabanas

• Indoor fitness center

• Lounge and social spaces

• Walking and hiking trails integrated into the hills

• Scenic views throughout the community

This community is ideal for buyers who value location, amenities, and modern living over traditional large-lot homes.

The Three Neighborhoods at Altair Temecula

Altair is made up of three distinct neighborhoods, each offering different floor plans, layouts, and price points.

Glenwood at Altair

Glenwood features paired, three-story homes that function similarly to townhomes, with shared walls and attached two-car garages.

Key features:

• 3 to 4 bedrooms

• 2.5 to 3.5 bathrooms

• 1,772 to just over 2,000 square feet

• Three-story layouts

• Covered decks

• No private backyards

Estimated pricing: Starting in the mid $700,000s

These homes are best suited for buyers comfortable with stairs and those who prioritize square footage and location over yard space.

Sky at Altair

Sky offers paired homes with fewer levels and wider footprints, which increases both functionality and pricing.

Key features:

• 3 to 4 bedrooms

• 2.5 bathrooms

• Approximately 1,640 to 1,880 square feet

• Two-story layouts

Sky appeals to buyers who want fewer stairs, a slightly more traditional home layout, and limited outdoor space without full yard maintenance.

Waypoint at Altair

Waypoint is the largest and most flexible collection in the community, featuring three-story homes with expanded living space and views.

Key features:

• Up to 2,237 square feet

• 4 bedrooms plus flex rooms or bonus spaces

• Multiple covered decks on select plans

• Some plans offer downstairs bedrooms for guests or multi-generational living

Waypoint is ideal for buyers who want maximum space, work-from-home flexibility, or panoramic hillside and Old Town views.

What Altair Temecula Is and Is Not

It is important for buyers to understand what this community is designed for.

Altair Temecula is:

• A lifestyle-driven, amenity-rich community

• Perfect for buyers who value location and modern design

• Ideal for professionals, relocators, and buyers who want to be close to Old Town

Altair Temecula is not:

• A community with large backyards

• Traditional single-story suburban housing

• Designed for buyers who need expansive private outdoor space

Understanding this early helps buyers avoid mismatched expectations and make confident decisions.

Why Early Positioning Matters in New Construction

In communities like Altair, buyers who engage early typically benefit the most. Early phases often come with:

• Better pricing relative to later releases

• More floor plan and location choices

• Ability to secure preferred elevations and views

As construction progresses, prices often rise as demand increases and inventory tightens. Buyers who wait until everything is officially open to the public often find fewer options and higher price points.

This is where working with a local independent real estate team, rather than going directly to the builder, becomes critical.
