Housing market in Temescal Valley right now

Longtime lurker here, I'm a college student here and With a population of 28,560, Temescal Valley is a smaller city. Poverty rate is 4.7%, which is pretty low. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look.

Weather-wise, the summers are challenging and winters are affordable. You get used to it after the first year.

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem tough.

I've been here 7 years and I love the pace of life here. The thing nobody mentions is housing market. It's growing and it affects daily life more than you'd think.

That said, the public transit is legit. And if you're into kayaking, this place is underrated.

Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The Oak Park side vs the Riverside side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.

Hope this helps!.

I've lived in Fairview for about 14 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.

it exceeded my expectations. When I first moved here from New York, I was surprised by school system. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.

A few things worth knowing:
- Low crime in most neighborhoods
- Close to major attractions
- The cost of living scene is surprisingly good

The downsides:
- Summers can be brutally hot
- Property taxes are high

Overall I'd rate it 7/10 for retirees. Feel free to reach out with questions..

Bought a house here in 2024 and I have mixed feelings honestly. Property values have gone about the same since then.
