  • With now 50 wineries, Temecula's vines and wine bring many visitors to the area every year-but it's the small-town charm that keeps them. Joy Benedict reports.

    Murrieta Joining the chat....what we (those of us in our little valley) like is that we can see our mountains on all sides. There aren't a bunch of skyscrapers blocking our beautiful views. We are about an hour from anything (beaches, mountains, snow skiing, night life). I first came for a job in 1985 when it was still called Rancho California and mostly ranches. Came back in 2002 with my large family because the housing was so affordable, great schools, family oriented, and lots of open space. It's starting to get crowded now so unfortunately we've closed the entire Temecula/Murrieta valley to newcomers. So sorry everyone, you missed your opportunity.

    It's all relative folks. Temecula is a very nice community. Growth will happen in any nice community and will experience the changes that go along with that including increased traffic, homelessness, and a more diverse population. Prices have gone up, however, generally speaking , homes are priced at about fifty percent of what orange and LA county homes are priced at. Temecula is also still about forty per cent lower than prices in san diego county. The schools are good here, however, we are getting an influx of
    the left thinking side of what schools should be and that has been met with resistance. I own property in temecula and also in the surrounding communities of murrieta, winchester and menifee. Temecula is the most popular and preferred address in this area. The reason Temecula probably made the fifty best places is because of its location in southern california, the weather, Temecula wine country that has grown quite a bit in the past twenty years, and the general quality of the city. I see an influx of individuals that are hell bent on changing the conservative nature of the community, and at least trying to make it lean more to the left. I have lived in socal my entire life and prefer temecula over other locations such as san diego, Escondido, and the desert communities. With that said however, I am looking at moving to a more rural conservative state than california in the foreseeable future.

    I lived there 23 years, It used to be incredible! It was an amazing place for my kids to grow up, but we left once the last one graduated high school. The crime was getting worse. There were homeless people on drugs all over and you didn't even feel safe! Illegals running through peoples backyards and all sorts of crazy stuff. Helicopters circling several times a week looking for bad people. All those people they interviewed in the video are wealthy and wouldn't struggle like the average person. Everything is expensive, homes, taxes, gas, utilities, just life. Don't even get me started going north on the 15 and the 91 west, my gosh the freeways are horrible! It was conservative and we loved it for that too but it was definitely changing in that regard. We left and we are now in the Carolinas and I don't even miss it!

    After watching the entire video, like most positive stories they only show the best parts of the city. But the traffic on the freeway and most nearby streets is always very slow anywhere near morning and evening rush-hour. I think it’s the worst traffic in the inland Empire. And there’s only 3 roads that go over the freeway for 110,000 people. So traffic on most of them is normally very slow during most of the day. So it’s one of the last cities I would live in the Inland Empire.
