TEMECULA DEMOGRAPHICS

Due to the mild climate, affordable home prices, excellent schools, clean air, safe communities and beautiful surroundings, Temecula has been experiencing a rapid growth since the late 1980's.

Temecula's population growth has been mostly directly affected by the number of young, well-educated families that are coming from the nearby costal communities escaping high home prices. Temecula offers an  upscale but affordable housing alternative and a high quality of life, making it a great place to live.

Temecula's central location only 42 miles south of Riverside, 85 miles southeast from Los Angeles, and 60 miles north of San Diego is perfectly located to take advantage of the many available recreational opportunities for active families. Less than one hour drive you can enjoy skiing, hiking, exploring our many natural resources or visit many of Southern California major tourist attractions.
