ParticipantI have lived in Murrieta for five years, and living in Temecula for about two years before that.
Here is my list:
Temecula has had better city government, smarter people and less rancor.
Temecula is 2-3 degrees cooler.
Both Murrieta and Temecula have some great schools. Temecula is laying off some teachers and closing some elementary schools, while Murrieta currently plans no layoffs and has a new high school going up.
Murrieta does seem more conservative: less upscale retiree types.
Temecula has stronger retail: the mall redo is great and Old Town is an attraction.
Murrieta is Forbes Magazines no. 1 “Subprime Boomtown.” Lots of repos and price drops here early when the bubble burst, but lots of new buyers at the moment. There are some great home values, especially if you want a large home and/or large lot.
Murrieta has the Santa Rosa plateau, which is stunning.
Honestly, the two are similar enough that I think of them as one town called Murriecula.

Guest[quote=Russell]What does the name “Temecula” mean?[/quote]
It means “No June Gloom”
When researching Temecula and Murrieta, you really have to look at specific neighborhoods. Both cities cover pretty big areas, and there is a quite a range of quality wrt schools, neighbors, traffic, etc. There are also noticeable temperature differences on hot days.
I would say Temecula is more consistently nice — there aren’t as many “bad” areas. Murrieta has some really nice areas (many are west of 15), but also some that have potential for problems (e.g. toward Winchester).
