Temecula, CA Reviews

Temecula - 12/25/2023
I’ve lived in the city for about 69 years and it’s great. Way better than Murrieta. Temecula has stuff to do unlike Murrieta. Temecula has wineries and a Read More

Temecula is the place to Be!!! - 8/25/2022
I’ve owned in San Diego, Oceanside, Carlsbad, Big Bear, and now Temecula in both 2010-2013 & 2020-2022. This city is absolutely amazing, it is at the edge of San Diego County, has the best weather of Riverside County, and has amenities beyond anything found in Riverside and most of San Diego County. 1.5 hrs to LA & attractions, 1 hour from San Diego City & attractions, 25-30 minutes from the beach. Schools are better than anything found within 100 miles and most of the US. It’s by far the most beautiful city I’ve ever lived, yes it has no beaches but your 25 miles to Oceanside and about the same in minutes from the beach. Much cooler weather and scenery than most of all Southern California, it’s just beautiful and has about everything you’d ever want 25 to 55, without a Read More

Reasonable for California - 7/29/2022
The mountains/hills are pretty, and it is less expensive than Los Angeles. There is next to nothing to do here if you aren't a Baby Boomer or a kid. However, it is a safe community. As someone who grew up in another state and has lived elsewhere, I'd say it is not worth the cost, unless you work in San Diego/Orange County and can't afford there. Then it probably makes 110% sense. That seems to be the crowd they build houses for--it's a commuter town. I wouldn't recommend the commute as someone from elsewhere. I'd live in San Diego if I worked there even if I had to rent and if I had a kid, I just wouldn't move to California period unless I had a fat trust fund and/or worked for Google and could afford private school. I wouldn't want to be stressed from the drive all the time when I got home too.

If this is your normal it may not be a big deal, but for me as someone from regular America, a commute beyond about 20 minutes with a bunch of people driving like super Read More

Lack of Infrastructure and LOTS of TRAFFIC - 2/1/2022
Lived in the city since 1992. Too much growth now. City Hall has failed to build/design proper infrastructure to accommodate the large amount of traffic, which sadly has made the area more LA like. Moved here to get away from Los Angeles, not to be a part of a new one. City has gotten out of control in building apartments, which brings more traffic. This area has lost its small town charm. Luckily, we found a new place that has much better "quality of life" than the Temecula area.  Read More

Still a great town, but traffic and overbuilding - 9/3/2021
This was where my husband and I grew up and we returned to raise our children there. It was an excellent choice and this is still an ideal place to raise children. The public schools are fantastic, there are tons of activities for kids to participate in and it's close enough to make day trips to the beach or mountains. It's green and well-kept and everyone's perfectly nice. Would I move back? Probably not. Every time we drive into visit the old hometown we hit a wall of traffic on our way in. The last time we went to Old Town it was jam packed with drunken partiers. Don't get me started on the wine tourists. We thought we were dying of boredom back in the olden days, and would have killed for the mall, restaurants, etc. that are available now. Reading about other towns, it seems to be the same old story of wishing things stayed the same as before. I'm glad we found a California town to live in now that's similar to Temecula of the 70's and 80's, but that's just me.  Read More

Best large city in the area. w/ Gridlock traffic - 12/23/2018
Temecula is really pretty nice place, it has everything you need and most of it has modern buildings. They generally take care of it, so it looks fresh. Compared to other places around, Temecula is the most desirable place to be. All of the other cities around can be really nasty. Murrietta, Hemet, Lake Elsinore are all just nasty compared to Temecula. South of Temecula, it gets really bad. San Marcos, Vista, Escondido. Lots of Apartments and poor Hispanics in those areas. Fallbrook is the only small town that is decent thats in the area. Here is the negative about Temecula. People and traffic. Putting aside the fact that the I-15 is Hell, the Temecula main streets are also jammed often. But hey, you chose SoCal and thats what you get. Bottom line: Best larger city in the area, if you like this area. (I personally liked smaller Fallbrook better.) Weather is a bit more extreme than say Fallbrook. Hotter highs and lower lows. Had a big snow storm awhile back that was a Super rare Read More

Life in Temecula - 10/19/2016
We have been here since 1987 and have loved it. Now, almost 30 years later, it has grown to traffic congestion, tract after tract of huge homes on tiny lots and still no real 'career' jobs. We still love the beauty of the area, the central location to everything from beach to mountains to desert, but it is not small business-friendly (Riverside County in general), and promotes chain stores, which people love here. We just love our neighborhood and our home in the very southern tip (used to be San Diego County years ago) of the city, but we are planning, if things work out, to move back to the Monterey Bay/Carmel area within the next 5 years because of the weather being cooler, the people being more 'creative/artistic/nature-loving' and the more laid-back feeling. It's a tough, tough town to make a living in; people mostly either have 1-2 hour commute or struggle in small businesses. Yes, chains like Starbucks and Target/Wal-Mart rule here. Sad but true. We have loved being Read More

Temecula, CA: Still a jewel. - 12/19/2014
Temecula is one of the best run cities in Southern California. I moved here over a decade ago when the population was about 60,000. The city is about 30 square miles and has its neighbor, Murrieta to the north. Both cities now have populations of about 100,000 for a total of 200,000 regionally. The good that comes with that is all the ammenities an area of that size brings, such as shopping, dining and entertainment. The bad, of course is increased traffic, but the crime rate here remains quite low. Temecula has very good schools. The city boasts a fabulous Old Town shopping and dining area, a state of the art indoor / outdoor shopping mall with great restaurants, The Temecula Wine Country with over 40 great wineries to choose from. The area is also home to the Pechanga Casino. We have great weather and although being relatively close to the ocean, our local mountain range holds back the coastal fog on most days. We are about 1000 feet above sea level so we do tend to be Read More
