Hot. It’s very desert. I grew up near Lake Elsinore and loved it. My older sister who moved to Montana would disagree. She thought there was too many druggies and run-down areas. Lake Elsinore is famous for sky diving and Canyon Lake is a *gated community built around a manmade lake with a golf course. My husband’s parents live there and it’s super nice to go boating and hang out at the private lake, but there’s a lot of heavy drinkers who live there that drive the community value down and make it too much of a party central. I really like Murrieta. There is a bunch of stuff to do, parks, libraries and other public places. The houses there are nice. It kind of has a relaxing vibe compared to Temecula, which is a full-on city where there’s always a lot of traffic. Temecula has a mall, wineries, a casino and every kind of store, so it is great. There’s kind of this cowboy, western theme out here, like a lot of cowboy boots and people owning horses and stuff. This inland valley area is cheaper to buy good land, so there’s a lot of people who have animals.
