I'm proud to say that Hemet is my home town. I grew up in the 50's in a rural farming town with few retirees to speak of. The L.A. retirees discovered the area with Del Webb's Sun City (nearby in the Perris area) and Art Linkletters Sierra Dawn Mobile Home retirement community in Hemet. The local area is mainly retirement living now, with all of the service industries. Golden Village Palms is the biggest park with the most amenities (3 pools, 3 spas, extensive community center, etc.) I have ever been in. Great Chinese restaurant just across Florida Avenue, too!
My economic situation used to allow me to stay at GVP for $700+ a month; now when visiting my relatives in the area I stay at Thousand Trails in Menifee for $50 a month with my lifetime membership. I have also stayed at Desert Sky RV park in Hemet with a $260 a month snowbirds rate.
