Temecula's Offer For CaliforniansTemecula, California is a lesser-advertised city which is by no means of lesser appeal…at least not for the 90,000+ residents who call it home. An affordable place to live, Temecula houses folks for an average of 190,000 dollars for a home, and allows for an income that averages about a fourth of that, so in four years, technically, one could pay off the mortgage on an average home…earning as he or she might typically earn about fifty-nine and a half grand a year. With almost everyone (90.1%) in town having at least a high school diploma, with unemployment (as of 2000) at an all-time low of under 5%, and with an average commute for sixty percent of the people of no more than thirty-four minutes, the work is also of the reasonably satisfying types: residents of Temecula California commute to or stay in town working at jobs in education, health, social services, manufacturing, and retail.
While these employment industries are almost equally balanced (with 18 ˝ % in the first three groups, 15 in the second, and 14% in the last), the wine production business is also a great contender in the area. For, Temecula, California is a site for one of the oldest wineries, the internationally acclaimed Callaway Vineyard, as it is the home of numerous other wineries (nineteen total), renowned for being part of the only prominent American Viticultural Area south of Los Angeles. Evidently, the Temecula, California region is hotter and therefore better acclimated for Rhone and Zinfandel grapes, which the famous Napa Valley region is less well-suited for. Accordingly, Temecula features a Valley Balloon and Wine Festival, numerous golf resorts and greens, and offers rich and satisfying historical sites as well as antiques, dining, and a well-known weekly Farmer's Market, the collective offerings which draw many to the 600+ antiques dealers, the 700 films of the Temecula Valley International Film and Music Festival, and the convention hall, Bingo hall, cabaret, nightclub, five bars, seven restaurants, sixty card tables, fifteen poker tables, and 2,000 slot machines of the Pechanga Resort and Casino in Temecula, California. Evidently, approximately 7,500 of the 90,000+ residents of Temecula have found employment in the Pechanga alone. Former President Ronald Regan will be immortalized there; BYU Cougars college football star Trent Griffith was born there; and legendary greats such as singer and dancer Liza Minelli and comic Jerry Seinfeld have performed there…in Temecula, California, where you might one day take a wine-tasting tour, ride a famous Temecula hot air balloon, or even take up residence. |
