With neighboring Murrieta, Temecula forms the southwestern anchor of the Inland Empire region. It is almost equidistant to San Diego, Los Angeles, and Orange counties and many consider it a suburb of the latter. Temecula is also home to many military families from nearby Camp Pendleton USMC, Miramar MCAS, March Air Reserve Base and the Navy bases in San Diego.
The 1990s brought rapid growth to the Temecula Valley. Many families began to move to the area from San Diego and Orange County drawn by the affordable housing prices. However, as the years have progressed, the housing has become more expensive and the area has become primarily middle to upper-middle class.
In 1999, The Promenade Mall opened in Temecula on land that had once been used for farming and grazing. The mall made Temecula a regional center for shopping and dining. In 2005, Temecula expanded by annexing the neighboring planned community known as Redhawk. The annexation brought the rapidly growing population to 90,000. Due to the rapid growth of the city, Temecula has experienced severe traffic conditions in the area.
Temecula is the site of one of the oldest wineries in California, and the Temecula Valley continues to be a small but significant wine production center, supporting nineteen wineries.
