Great video. I live in Murrieta and my sister lives in Temecula. She picked me up yesterday to visit our brother in Mission Viejo. His house has been appraised at 1.8 million. This is a typical nothing special tract house, with a tiny backyard that he has lived in for over 35 years. It is crazy!!
Totally. It’s hard to see past the OC bubble when you are living in it 😉 At least he’s been there for a while and not having to pay today’s crazy OC prices 😅
I would rather have planned large apartment communities than state mandated low income housing. People should really look into zoning maps for areas around them. Just because a lot is empty doesn't mean it'll stay that way. Those areas with upcoming apartments have been zoned for high-density since before you and I moved into the area.

Great informative video. My fiancée was right about the pronunciation of “Murrieta” 😅. I sure wish we were ready to buy a home back when houses were at $400-500K. But our condo is still better than renting in Orange County.
Great video! One of my family's biggest cons is that outside of sports when you're high school age and wine country when you're 21+...there's nothing affordable for teens and young adults to do in Murrieta, Temecula, or menifee. The older high schoolers get tired of going to the mall, the 18-20 group doesn't want to hang with high schoolers, and the newly 21 want more to do than just drink or leave the whole area when they wanna have a good time. We're lacking on the teen/young adult activities here. All the activities are for young children and Ling time adults.
Thanks for the comment! I could see that as a con for sure. You have to keep that age group busy and hopefully they are working and/or going to school but there aren’t a ton of higher education options locally from what I see…. Room for improvement there or plan to go away to college if possible. I went away to school when I was 18 and it would have been hard for me to stay home otherwise
Wider roads will just make traffic in the area worse, not alleviate it. It's unfortunate that more isn't being done to make it easier for people to not drive to get around the area, especially given that parts of Murrieta are still getting built out so it would be much cheaper to build vs. having to try to retrofit at a later date.
More walkability would be great! And we need more bike lanes in many areas. I have people ask about public transportation, but I don’t know if it’s realistic here because is so sprawling. What do you recommend so people don’t have to drive?
It is funny that you mention the pronunciation of Murrieta. I happen to be a bilingual speech pathologist in the area. Murrieta is of Spanish origin and “ Mew-ree-eta “ is definitely NOT the correct (or closest) pronunciation! My last name also is spelled with the same first 4 letters and It is not pronounced as “Mew-row”. In fact the closest pronunciation in the first case is “Moo-ree-eta”. That is of course, if you acknowledge the original Spanish roots of the name. Hope this helps! 😊
@WendyMurrow2987 and @Mexicanita1904 we have a former client @DeniseSpeechCoach to weigh in as well. It would be good to get consensus on this particular topic.
Hi! Yes you can. But if the home is in a very high fire area, you may have to go through the California Fair Plan which is through the government. Like everything, insurance costs have risen recently
I moved to Temecula from LA four years ago for the affordability. I’m leaving Temecula for the lack of diversity. This region is very white and very Christian. And this is coming from a white person.

Great video. As always, very informative :)

Also, how are young people supposed to save up for a down payment if rents are too high because there aren’t enough rental units?
They'll live with their parents forever. lol.

Thanks for mentioning City events! We try to put on a lot and give our residents a lot of options! Nice video!
Such a great video!! Merry Christmas!!
Thank you and Merry Christmas to you too!

I hear you! I wish I bought 5 houses in 2011 😂 hindsight is 20/20 😉 Glad you were able to get a condo and hope you are loving it here

I was thinking the same thing. Murrieta is a Spanish name. Its proper pronunciation is MOO-REE-EH- TAH.

Can you get home owners insurance? Wild fire insurance?
Hi! Yes you can. But if the home is in a very high fire area, you may have to go through the California Fair Plan which is through the government. Like everything, insurance costs have risen recently
If you want to live the suburb life style Murrieta is for you, if your a city person like me Murrieta will not suffice.
@@jrangel101 yes, Murrieta is the suburbs
Murrieta is spelled Murrieta not Mirrieta
Absolutely not it is not Mew Murrieta is pronounced Moo-rrea-ta.
So its pronounce Mew-rrie-tah
Hi @lowbie_sama it is become a controversy. Haha. The speech people commenting here will help us out.
No, absolutely not. It's Moo-rrea-ta.
Where is the new off ramp in Menifee going?
I moved to Temecula from LA four years ago for the affordability. I’m leaving Temecula for the lack of diversity. This region is very white and very Christian. And this is coming from a white person.
