City Of Murrieta

Murrieta is a city with a large share of newcomers, a strong sense of history and a promising future. Between 2000 and 2010, this community grew more than 133%, making it one of the fastest growing cities in the state. With that growth came the opportunity to focus on what matters most to residents, many of whom were young professionals just starting families. Murrieta rose to the occasion, and now claims some of the top-rated high schools in the state, and a #6 spot on America’s Safest Cities list. Over the years it developed and preserved more than 20 miles of hiking trails, 52 parks and countless recreational opportunities. Murrieta became known as an ideal place to settle down and call home--and many people did. Today’s Murrieta is taking things to the next level. Robust economic growth includes re-vitalization of Historic Downtown; the emergence of a regional medical hub with five major healthcare facilities; a cutting-edge biotechnology center; and expanded shopping and entertainment for all ages. And through it all, Murrieta remains connected by community.
