The Retreat at Holiday - Menifee, CA

The Retreat at Holiday is a gated 55+ community in Menifee, with 108 single-family homes built from 2006 through 2020. The community centers on a recreation facility with a fitness room, hobby and game space, outdoor pool, spa, and patio. Its relatively small scale distinguishes it from Menifee’s larger age-restricted developments. For prospective residents, the combination of a defined 55+ setting, shared recreation facilities, and resale-only housing provides a straightforward way to compare the community with newer developments in the area.

HOMES

The Retreat at Holiday consists of single-family homes, with Freedom Homes, a D.R. Horton company, identified as the builder. Government and community sources place the original floor-plan range at 1,658 to 2,028 square feet, with two bedrooms and two or two-and-a-half baths across the models. The community is complete and sold out to the builder, so homes now come through resale. Current listings reviewed in September 2026 ranged from $469,000 to $530,000; another $579,000 listing was under contract.

AMENITIES

Residents have access to a clubhouse or recreation center with a fitness room, hobby and game room, kitchen, and social space. Outdoor facilities include a community lap-style pool, spa, and patio. Sources also document activities such as swimming, cards, ping pong, community events, and garage sales. The amenities are concentrated within the gated community rather than spread across a large master-planned development, making the recreation center and pool area the primary shared gathering points.
