Semi-Retire in Temecula in 2012

[Anonymous]

eclapse,

Being a smart a** does not equate to smarts. Spelling checking in blogs is a desperate act to make a point by a pointless fool.

And to the rest of you clowns, facts speak for themselves. Take YOUR time to acquire the records and do the research, this is YOUR JOB. At my billing rates I do not have the time to render endless published articles on the subject. You are given the basic facts, now get off your asses and do your due diligence.

The “bait” you should take is to pursue reality and not to live in destructive delusions.

I appreciate that – I try to hone my “snark” skills online and come off as the ultimate smart ass. Sweet, mission accomplished!

You’re right about facts, all facts point to you being a bit loony and your rants (while pretty hilarious) are nothing more than delusions from a person with a grudge against the city. That’s fine, paradise* isn’t for everyone.

Hey all, OP here. I thought I would revisit this thread I posted 5 years ago!

I’m still interested in semi-retirement in Temecula area. Some things have changed:

* Have two toddlers, yikes.

* 2M saved (1.4M liquid, 600K IRA)

* Left full time employment last year. Freelance now.

I’m at the point where I want to find the right place to settle down for the next 18+ years, hopefully permanently. I keep going back to Temecula as an option since it is much more affordable than San Diego, and we’re looking for a smaller city that has great (public) schools.

Still looking for something in the 2500 sq ft range, but I’ve convinced myself we need a pool. I know pools are expensive and a pain to maintain, but pools are great for kids and I selfishly want one to enjoy myself in the hot Temecula summers.

So — can someone on the ground give me a sense of what the Temecula market is like these days?

[scaredyclassic]

I haven’t noticed lots of raping lately.

I hear from others the market is very competitive and houses sell fast.

[paramount]

Yes, Temecula is a competitive housing market and for good reason.

For starters, check out the activities guide for Temecula – the city put’s this out 2 or 3 times a year and has done so for as long as I can remember.

http://www.cityoftemecula.org/Temecula/Residents/ActivitiesBrochure.htm

There’s something for everyone, and plenty of awesome sports fields and parks.

I’m not aware of any neighborhoods in San Diego that have a comparable number of high quality sports fields vs Temecula.

[scaredyclassic]

you’re gonna love temecula. ignore everyone who tells yout emecula sucks. it doesn’t suck. it’s totally cool. you have toddlers; we love toddlers. this is where any smart person shoudl bring their toddlers. there’s stuff to do, it’sclean, it’s safe, it’s a little dull, but ina good and soothing way, like the film Mr. hulot’s Holiday. it’s extremely boring, but i like to watch it every now and then… because it makes me feel good. temecula will do that for you, like a classic 50’s jacques Tati film, you’ll leave slightly tired but strangely happy.
