Renting an Apartment in Temecula
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 2007 has skyrocketed to 97,935. 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 Interstate 15 (Temecula Valley
Freeway) and Interstate 215, along with State Route 79 (Temecula Parkway).
With neighboring Murrieta, Temecula forms the southwestern anchor of the Inland
Empire region. It is almost equidistant to San Diego and Orange County,
California; many residents consider themselves as living in a suburb of one of
the two. Temecula is also home to many military families from nearby MCB Camp
Pendleton, MCAS Miramar, March Air Reserve Base and the Navy bases in San Diego.
Dirtbiking/offroading is a very popular pastime in the town.
# The 1990s brought rapid growth to the Temecula Valley. Many families began to
move to the area from San Diego and Orange County drawn by the affordable
housing prices. However, as the years have progressed, the housing has become
more expensive and the area has become primarily middle to upper-middle class.
# In 1999, The Promenade Mall opened in Temecula on land that had once been used
for farming and grazing. The mall made Temecula a regional center for shopping
and dining.
# In 2005, Temecula expanded by annexing the neighboring planned community known
as Redhawk. The annexation brought the rapidly growing population to 90,000. Due
to the rapid growth of the city, Temecula has experienced severe traffic
conditions in the area.
# In early 2007, Tori Spelling and husband Dean McDermott announced they were
starting a new show on the Oxygen network about their experience with opening
and running a Bed and Breakfast in Temecula, but the B&B is actually located in
Fallbrook.
