What Our Clients Say
Verified 5-star Google reviews of the DeBonis Real Estate Team, from buyers and sellers across the Inland Empire.
“…Not only did Stephanie give me a market analysis on my property but they did not pressure me to sell. Instead they gave me two mortgage brokers names to do a refinance with. All this for free (their time) and told me they can do some research for me and for me to call them anytime I have a question …”
“We recently sold an investment property and Stephenie DeBonis was our agent. She is responsive, experienced and professional. We recommend her highly and would use her services again in a heartbeat. Our house sold very quickly and over asking price!”
“Pat DeBonis has been amazing helping us find a home and made the process so much easier than any other agent we have ever had. I highly recommend him for any real estate needs you are looking for whether its buying, selling or just advice! …”
The Benchmark 55+ Community in Banning
Sun Lakes Country Club is Banning’s flagship 55+ community — and by most measures, the most established 55+ golf community in the entire Inland Empire. Built between 1987 and 2003 by the Presley Company and finished by Pulte Homes, it spans just over 1,000 rolling acres in Banning at an elevation of approximately 2,350 feet. That elevation keeps summer temperatures a meaningful 15 degrees cooler than the desert valleys to the east, giving Sun Lakes a livability edge that buyers from Los Angeles, Orange County, and San Diego consistently notice from the moment they drive through the gate.
With just over 3,300 homes across 50 floor plans, two private 18-hole golf courses, three clubhouses, multiple pools, and a full-time activities director overseeing more than 70 clubs and interest groups, Sun Lakes delivers resort-style living at a price point that still makes sense for buyers coming out of higher-cost California markets.
No Mello-Roos. HOA includes cable. It is, simply, the community that sets the standard for everything else in the region. For current numbers in the neighboring market, see the Beaumont housing market.
HOA, sub-associations and assessments
A typical single-family home in Sun Lakes runs about $410 per month in HOA dues. The master association covers common area maintenance, 24-hour guard-gated security, cable TV, full amenity access, and golf on both private 18-hole courses with no green fees for residents.
There is no Mello-Roos here. That is the figure most buyers underweight when comparing Sun Lakes against the master-planned communities in Beaumont. A community with lower monthly dues but a Community Facilities District assessment on the tax bill can cost more per month, not less. Compare the total carrying cost, not the HOA line.
You will see Sun Lakes dues published elsewhere as a wide range, often $245 to $500 a month. Two separate things create it. The first is time — dues adjust annually, and a published range collects years of listings, which is why the low end reads well below what anyone pays today. The second is home type: owners in the Lakeside, Lakeside II and Fairway Villas condominium associations pay a second monthly fee on top of the master dues, covering exterior maintenance, building insurance, and a private pool. A detached home carries one fee. A condominium carries two.
A one-time Reserves Replenishment Assessment (recorded June 2024) applies at close of escrow — your escrow officer will provide the current amount via FirstService Residential. That assessment is the single most common surprise in a Sun Lakes transaction, and it is entirely avoidable if you know to ask.
Age restriction and daily life
At least one resident per home must be 55 or older, with the 55+ designation verified under HOPA/HUD requirements every two years. A full-time activities director runs the calendar across more than 70 clubs.
Location
Just over 1,000 rolling acres in Banning at approximately 2,350 feet — minutes from Beaumont, and a meaningful 15 degrees cooler in summer than the desert valleys to the east. Buyers from Los Angeles, Orange County, and San Diego notice it from the moment they drive through the gate.

What the Right Agent Knows Before the Offer Gets Written
Sun Lakes pricing is driven by specifics a citywide median will never tell you. A golf course-front Wisteria — one of the larger single-story plans here at 2,226 square feet — and an interior-lot Lilac, an entry-level Executive Course condo at 1,288 square feet, are both in Sun Lakes, but they price on entirely different curves.
Before you make an offer, you need to know which sub-association applies, whether there is a pending special assessment, what the current HOA reserve funding looks like, and how the Reserves Replenishment Assessment affects your closing costs. Golf course frontage, mountain views, and cul-de-sac location are the three premium pricing drivers inside the gates.
The DeBonis Real Estate Team knows this community deeply and will walk you through the due diligence before you are ever under contract. Some homes here sell before they ever hit the MLS. Buying here often means selling somewhere else first — see what your current home is worth.
Sun Lakes Country Club FAQs
What is the age restriction at Sun Lakes Country Club?
At least one resident per home must be 55 or older. The 55+ designation is verified under HOPA/HUD requirements every two years.
Is Sun Lakes Country Club gated?
Yes — Sun Lakes is 24-hour guard-gated, with security covered by the master HOA.
Does Sun Lakes Country Club have Mello-Roos?
No. Sun Lakes carries no Mello-Roos, which separates it from every 55+ community in neighboring Beaumont and materially changes the monthly carrying cost.
How much are the HOA fees at Sun Lakes?
A typical single-family home runs about $410 per month. The master association covers common area maintenance, 24-hour guard-gated security, cable TV, full amenity access, and golf on both 18-hole courses with no green fees for residents. There is no Mello-Roos. Owners in the Lakeside, Lakeside II, and Fairway Villas condominium associations pay a second monthly fee on top of the master dues, which is why published ranges for Sun Lakes run so wide. Dues adjust annually, so confirm the current figure on the escrow demand before you write an offer. Call the DeBonis Team at (951) 203-4426 and we will pull it for you.
What is the Reserves Replenishment Assessment?
A one-time assessment recorded in June 2024 that applies at close of escrow. Your escrow officer will provide the current amount via FirstService Residential. Ask about it early — it is the most common surprise in a Sun Lakes transaction.
