Temecula
Located in the southwestern portion of Riverside County, the city of Temecula blends charming country style living with a dash of contemporary suburban sophistication.
Temecula is the Spanish interpretation of the Luiseno Indian term, Temeekunga, which means, “Place of the Sun.” The city gradually evolved from an Indian village to mission outpost, to Mexican rancho and crossroads settlement, to railroad town and the modern city that it is today.
Known for its championship golf courses and excellent wineries, Temecula’s ideal location between Los Angeles and San Diego makes it appealing for those who prefer a quiet, relaxing abode to call home, while still having access to major urban centers.
