 Situated in the heart of the Hemet/San Jacinto Valley, Hemet offers
the clean air and clear blue skies that many other parts of Southern
California only dream about. Country-style living amid year-round
perfect weather is enhanced by proximity to the big-city events
and attractions of Los Angeles and Orange County (about 80 miles
to the west) and San Diego (about 90 miles to the south), yielding
a richly varied lifestyle.
Supported by a population topping 60,000, Hemet offers its own
cultural and recreational opportunities, including live theater,
sports programs, festivals, parks, libraries, museums and a lively
casino. There's something for every age and interest.
