ABOUT THE COMMUNITY OF TEMECULA


Southern California's Temecula Valley is one of the greatest places to live and work. Wonderful climate and easy access to some of the greatest theme parks and resorts make it the perfect place. It has become a hot sport for Southern California living.

Temecula is a city in southwestern Riverside County, California, United States. The population was 57,716 at the 2000 census. The current population as of January 2006 has skyrocketed to 93,923. It was incorporated on December 1, 1989.

Temecula is bordered by Murrieta on the northwest and the Pechanga Indian Reservation on the south, with unincorporated areas of Riverside County on all of its other borders. It is served by the I-15 Temecula Valley Freeway and I-215, along with highway 79.

With neighboring Murrieta, Temecula forms the southwestern anchor of the Inland Empire region. It is almost equidistant to San Diego, Los Angeles, and Orange counties and many consider it a suburb of the latter. Temecula is also home to many military families from nearby Camp Pendleton USMC, Miramar MCAS, March Air Reserve Base and the Navy bases in San Diego.
