Hemet Overview

Scenically situated in the confines of the San Jacinto Valley of Riverside County, Hemet offers laid-back California ambiance without sacrificing a minute of larger city amenities and convenience. Designated as a 'Tree City USA', this nature lover's paradise is chock full of opportunities and a welcoming spirit.

What is the history of Hemet?

Established as largely a farming community thanks to local lakes in the mid-1800s, Hemet rose to prominence after the addition of rail service to the region in 1888. The Lake Hemet Dam was completed a short time later, and the city officially incorporated in 1895. Cultural landmarks abound in the early 1900s, with theaters and schools seeing completion in large number. The Ryan School of Aeronautics opened its doors in 1940, and today the city acts primarily as a hub of health care, schooling and technology.

How is the weather in Hemet?

This being California, those living in Hemet apartments can expect mostly sunny and dry conditions, with summers hitting a high in the 80s-90s for the most part, and spring / autumn marked by cooler evenings. Average rain accumulations for the year tend to be just under 11 inches, and the Santa Rosa Hills offer added protection from the occasional storms.

How do I get around town?

The RTA provides public transit throughout much of the city, and expansion of the commuter Metrorail is currently in much discussion. Air travel is a breeze thanks to nearby options such as Ontario Airport and Palm Springs International, and while most residents of Hemet rentals still rely on at least one private car or truck for most needs, ride sharing options and taxis remain in high supply throughout the downtown scene.

What is the Hemet commute like?

The duo of California State Route 74 and 79 both acts as major throoughfares of the city, and State Street, Florida Avenue and Winchester Road all pass by a myriad of Hemet apartments for rent. Those commuting to Los Angeles can anticipate a lengthy ride each way thanks to notorious LA traffic congestion, but getting around town itself should be a breeze on most work days.

What are the local media outlets?

A wide array of affiliate broadcasting is available thanks to its proximity to the major LA market, yielding premium television options for those living in Hemet apartments. Radio is eclectic, ranging from modern rock and hip hop to jazz favorites and sporting talk formats. The 'LA Times' remains a popular print outlet, and KZSW is a local broadcasting station.

Why live in Hemet, CA?

Located next to the scenic majesty of Diamond Valley Lake, Hemet apartments offer easy access to over five large public parks, as well as plenty of retail shopping options. A number of museums, art galleries and performance spaces also can be found around town, and a large assortment of both private and public schools in the city make it enticing for budding families eager to connect with a fresh Calfornia locale.

What Hemet landmarks should I see?

Stroll the grasslands and playgrounds of Weston Park, established all the way back in 1921, or take in a show at the historic Hemet Theatre, which saw construction the very same year. The Old Santa Fe Train Depot doubles as a time capsule museum, and Western Science Center is a great place to take the kids on a rainy afternoon.

What is there to do around Hemet?

Take in a performance of a popular stage production at the nearby natural amphitheater set against the background of the scenic mountains, or peruse the fresh offerings at the local farmer's market for produce to fill your new Hemet apartment's kitchen with. Simpson Park provides an awe-inspiring view of a height of over 2,000 feet, and the Valley Wide Sports Park is the perfect place to jump in on a basketball pick up game or play some frisbee.

Any annual festivals or Hemet events to know?

The 'Ramona Pageant' is the longest-running play in the nation, having continuously been staged since the 1920s, and every year drama fans flock to Hemet to see it. The Temecula Valley Bluegrass Fest is another nearby event that draws music lovers annually, and the Food and Wine Festival brings many fine vintages to town every spring.

Where are the nearby vacation spots?

Drive the 80 or so miles into the heart of Hollywood for a weekend on the town, or head to the legendary California white sand beaches, both a reasonable reach from many Hemet apartments for rent. 

Where is the best place to move in Hemet?

From luxurious one-bedroom units close to the convenience of Florida Avenue shopping, to economic family units offering pet-friendly policies and plenty of easy access to local parks, Hemet rentals remain available to suit a wide assortment of lifestyles. Start your hunt for the next great California apartment in your life!
