If you are from Temecula or the surrounding areas you've heard of Hemet. That place gets a bad rap. It's the root of many mean jokes, and most of the locals call it Him-AY in a fancy accent to add an extra sting to their satirical punchlines. Everyone has heard of it, but few people have actually been there.
What is Hemet really? It's a small town at the base of the San Jacinto Mountains right below the sleepy village of Idyllwild. On the other side of the San Jacinto Mountains (the east side) is Palm Springs. Its closest sibling city is Menifee only 15 miles away.
Do to its out-of-the-way location no one really visits Hemet unless they live there. So who lives in Hemet? A good percentage of its residents are retired citizens who keep their money in Hemet banks and spend their leisure time in town. For the other residents in Hemet, the top local employers are businesses in the health care industry, the local school district, and Deutsch Industries.
Why does Hemet have a bad reputation? Hemet is out of the way, a bit boring, and its housing prices are the lowest compared to the neighboring cities. Despite being considered a disadvantaged place by many of the "comedians" out there, Hemet has a well-mixed demographic of ethnicities, age groups, and incomes. It even has some of the best gastrointestinal surgeons and Ophthalmologists in the area. So there!
