The biggest small town in southern California.

Wine Country Upscale Schools Diverse Military Nature Outdoors Tourism

Somewhat removed from the sprawling urban centers of southern California, Temecula is an upscale community that enjoys a healthy degree of elbow room without sacrificing big-city amenities. A stroll down Old Town Front Street is a delightful way to spend an afternoon or evening surrounded by historic buildings, specialty shops, unique restaurants, and arts venues.

The nearby vineyards and wineries draw locals and tourists alike, and large, mountainous nature preserves sit just outside of town to the north and to the south. Just forty minutes from Camp Pendleton North, Temecula has also become a popular spot for military commuters to call home.
