BG: If one can afford to buy in Temecula Proper, there are plenty areas of San Diego one could buy in as well.
I could move to San Diego tomorrow if I so desired, and while I don’t totally discount your thoughts and this has been well covered, there are obviously really good reasons to choose Temecula over San Diego.
I make considerably more than the average person who lives in San Diego, and in fact there is considerable wealth in Temecula.
I guess what it comes down to is schools: except for a few exclusive areas of San Diego, Temecula Schools are in general better than San Diego schools.
