Real experiences from people who call Hemet home.
I lived in both sides of Hemet, the East and the West ends. Loved it. Very family oriented community. It is small enough to get to know people and large enough that there are always new people to meet. We love Hemet Youth Baseball with my boys and they some terrific kids dance programs. What I loved the most was being able to go down one main road, Florida, and getting direct access to either Idyllwild to the snow or go the other direction and hit the 215 Freeway or Menifee.
Why Hemet? I like Hemet because it's a good place to start for first time home buyers. There's a lot of new homes being built, the city is growing, and we have some of the best schools in the inland empire. Like any big city it has its issues, but I'm here on the ground everyday, literally going door to door talking to folks in the community, and I can say with confidence that Hemet is a good starting place for your family.
