After living all over this beautiful country, and in a lot of places all over the world, I am happily blessed to have stumbled upon Temecula, the greatest little town that no one knows about. My kids enjoy fantastic schools, we all enjoy an amazing selection of restaurants, shopping, and entertainment options, and every day we marvel at the the kind of beauty that a well-developed city can still maintain. This is where I live, work, and play, and I wouldn't have it any other way!
Our tax assesor website only lists the address of the owner, but not the name (like, the name of the bank), so what I've done is put the address into google and the name of the bank will usually pop up. Hope this helps! - Sun Aug 10 2008, 11:12
I agree with Ryan- Rancho California is the "perfect" exit to live off of- my husband commutes and he wouldn't want to exit Winchester or 79S. And good move avoiding the 215...that's where it'll get really backed up. So yes- also look at Vintage Hills and Rancho Highlands...homes off of Rancho California, Rancho Vista, or Pauba Rd in general will give you larger lots, a better commute, and fewer empty homes surrounding you. Good luck! - Thu Aug 7 2008, 15:46
I just wanted to add my 2 cents because a lot of people are recommending Poway. While the school district is highly rated, and the city has a good reputation (I think because many pro sports folk live in the "fancier" neighborhoods), I've got to say that my husband works for the city of Poway and has zero desire to live there. He doesn't love his commute, but he would rather make the drive from Temecula to Poway everyday than leave this great town. Anyhooooo, not sure what your price range is or where you'll be working, but from one home buyer to another, I really encourage you to take a look at Temecula- good schools, friendly people, yummy restaurants, winereies galore....enjoy! - Tue Aug 5 2008, 23:01
Well, call me crazy, but I'm pretty sure that when prices in Temecula are on par with prices in nice cities in Texas (not the boonies, but family friendly neighborhoods near a large metroplex), then all the people who had to leave California just to be able to afford a home will pack it all back up and come back, because really- if you can get back into SoCal for the same price as Texas and pay half the property taxes, then why wouldn't you? As soon as that happens, supply will start to dry up and we'll climb right back up out of this rut. So here's the deal- when a nice SFH with 4 bedrooms in Temecula with a large yard lists for $185K, then we've hit bottom. That's my prediction. How soon will that happen? That, I can't say... - Tue Aug 5 2008, 22:36
If you are a member of the CalPers retirement system, you can get an FHA mortgage through CalPers and you have the option of using your retirement account as collateral for a down-payment assistance loan, also through CalPers. Check the CalPers website for the phone number to their mortgage program hotline, and from there you can get a referral to a CalPers approved mortgage broker. Hope this helps, and good luck! - Sat Aug 2 2008, 11:55
