Poorly planned. Overcrowded schools. - 7/24/2006
We have lived here 5 years and watched it grow from under 40,000 to over 90,000! The schools are way over crowded and the city took too long in purchasing proper land for new schools. The city planning would fail on SimCity! There are many religious people that drive extremely rude in their jumbo SUVs! The good things are the proximity to San Diego, Disneyland, and the mountains, as well as the Read More

Great place to be... - 7/2/2006
Other than the fact that Murrieta is in California with great climate year round and lots of activities, this is a great place to be. Surrounded by snow, the Pacific Ocean and high desert, not to mention Los Angeles, San Diego and all of the coastal communities, there is no shortage of things to do or see - all within a two hour radius. All of this, but we are far enough away in the inland valley to enjoy clear skies and temperate climate. The best thing about our community though is sense of family. There is a strong foundation of family oriented viewpoints and activities. We are the suburbs of the surrounding urban Read More

NOTHING STAYS THE SAME..... - 6/4/2006
I've lived in several states across the country since my husband was frequently transfered due to his job. Last stop when we retired: Northern California. We then decided to move to an area that had milder winters yet still within California. There is every kind of climate and region to choose from here! Coming from New York and remembering how much I love being by the ocean, my first thought was San Diego! Since my first visit there about 30 years ago, that was my "perfect place". The smell of the ocean in the air, the seagulls cawing, the sun glinting off the water: after all these years I'm ready to go! HA! I should have bought a place back 30 years ago because now it takes a million or so just to start looking 10 miles inland. The people we met who were also looking to move, all recommended the cities of Temecula and Murrieta for affordable and beautiful housing. Temecula is Wine Country and it is just over the San Diego border (inland) in Riverside County. No ocean but it was Read More
