# Living in Temecula

> A resident-first guide to the Temecula Valley, California (Temecula, Murrieta, Menifee, Wildomar, Lake Elsinore, Winchester, Canyon Lake, French Valley): a local business directory with checked dates, a CSLB contractor-license snapshot lookup, resident guides, deals and wine-country planning.

- 11,104 business listings in 108 categories; 110 editor-selected core listings, the rest compiled from public listing records and labeled as such.
- Contractor listings are matched to a dated California CSLB license snapshot (Sep 27, 2026). It is not a live CSLB feed; a missing match is not proof of non-licensure.
- Business owners can send corrections at https://livingintemecula.org/for-businesses
