Hi,
We are moving back home! but to Temecula or Murrieta(which we know both well but need more input) What are the differences between the two? where are the better schools? What are the average ages of parents with kids? What are the best elementarys in both cities? Which are the moderate tohigher end neighboroods with community pool, tennis, gated(not required though) and parks, etc? The best new home neighborhoods? we would like a home with a lot of at least 1/4 acre-thanks for any input!

I lived in Temecula for a short time, but didn't have a kids of school age so I can't answer your quality of schools question.

There is a Temecula forum(http://www.temeculaforums.com/) you could post this to and the regulars there will probably be happy to give you good feedback. Good luck.
