Try a custom overlay. Add this in viewDidLoad:

MKCircle *circle = [MKCircle circleWithCenterCoordinate:userLocation.coordinate radius:1000];

- (MKOverlayRenderer *)mapView:(MKMapView *)map viewForOverlay:(id )overlay
{
    MKCircleRenderer *circleView = [[MKCircleRenderer alloc] initWithOverlay:overlay];
    circleView.strokeColor = [UIColor redColor];
    circleView.fillColor = [[UIColor redColor] colorWithAlphaComponent:0.4];
    return circleView;
}
