You’re the man exclipxe! That was what I was looking for. Thank you very much. So a handful of shady but not gang banging areas. Good to know. I noticed the areas you listed mostly contained the words “apartments” which I have already decided I am going to try and stay far away from as possible.
I don’t think there are any rules of not posting any Realtors info here but of there is, you can email me at travis -at- themorgansplace – com . Thanks for your input.

No problem! I’ve sent you an email with the information – let me know if you don’t get it.
I wouldn’t necessarily stay away from ALL apartments. Several of the apartments in Temecula are VERY nice. I lived in Solana Ridge (across from new Abbott building) when I first moved. It was great, very quiet, newer and I met a bunch of teens my age that became good friends. There is another apartment near Temecula Elementary – Tuscany Ridge I believe, that is a clone of Solana Ridge – also nice. There are a few apartments on Rancho California rd that are newer and pretty nice. Basically the older places look their age and you can pretty much tell which ones have issues. The Harveston apartments get good reviews from my friends and most I’ve been to in Murrieta are pretty decent.
Trust me, even the more “shady” places are still very safe and decent to live by. Random street violence is pretty much non existent. The city is actually very well run and purposely built senior apartments to meet the low-income requirements from the state. There are new low-income apartments being built in Old Town, but the money being poured into the development there (especially with City Hall relocating) will prevent the area from becoming run down and unsafe.
The biggest issue right now would probably be the massage parlors. They aren’t sleazy or shady looking at all, but it is becoming a bit extreme. We’ll see how the city handles that (I personally don’t have a problem with them, but it hurts the family-friendly image of the place a bit – moreso than Pechanga).
