“Personally, I think the Temecula/Murietta area is fairly priced in relation to the SD, OC and LA areas for which it serves as a bedroom community. Inasmuch as all those areas are horrendously overpriced I guess you could say the same for Temecula.”
This being true, you have to factor in Mello/Roos and HOA’s.
Also, the extra cost for gas and it’s not such a deal.
