Welcome to another insightful episode of Local Living Tri-city with me, your host, Liz Jones! In this episode, I dive deep into the heart of what makes Temecula, Murrieta, and Menifee both challenging and wonderful places to live.

In this episode, you will understand more about the Tri-city area:

1. Traffic and Transportation Issues: Traffic in the Tri-City area, especially around the 91 freeway and commutes from San Diego to Temecula, remains a significant concern. City and state transportation agencies are working on addressing these issues, but the solutions are not immediate.

2. Safety and Crime: Murrieta boasts its own police and fire departments, resulting in quicker emergency responses. Overall, crime rates are low, but petty crimes like mailbox tampering do occur occasionally. The community is proactive in maintaining its safety.

3. Property Taxes and Special Assessments: Property taxes in newer homes often include special assessments or "Melrose" bonds to fund local infrastructure improvements. These bonds can significantly increase overall annual property taxes, especially in houses built post-2010.

4. Housing Market Dynamics: Despite recent property value growth, the number of homes available for sale is low. Many current homeowners, who refinanced at low rates, are reluctant to sell, resulting in limited market supply and continued price appreciation. Buyers need to act strategically to secure properties in this competitive market.

5. Climate and Living Conditions: The Tri-City area experiences a hot and dry summer climate but benefits from pleasant weather for most of the year. Unique seasonal phenomena such as the June gloom add to the varied climatic experience. Living conditions, including utility costs, are generally reasonable, making the area attractive for new residents.

I provide a thorough analysis, practical advice, and valuable insights that are essential for anyone living in or considering moving to our Tri-city area. Whether you're a homeowner, a potential buyer, or just curious about local living, this episode is packed with useful information.
