Family-oriented community in the Temecula Valley region
Around 70 miles north of San Diego, French Valley is an unincorporated suburban community best known for its top-rated school districts, ample green space and area-affordable home prices. Home to French farmers in the 19th century, French Valley rapidly developed as urban sprawl spread northward from Temecula and Murrieta. Plains once used to grow grain are now home to sports parks, suburban enclaves and popular schools. “It’s a newer and more family-oriented community in the Temecula Valley region,” explains Heidi Bowser, a Real Estate Agent with Realty One Group Pacific. “The homes are bigger and more affordable, parks are just about everywhere, and Temecula Valley schools bring many people into the area.”
Outlying French Valley features several thoughtfully planned communities.

Large suburbs with area-affordable prices
As of early 2025, French Valley’s median home price is roughly $690,000, higher than the national median of about $410,000 but much lower than San Diego’s $925,000. Within large suburban neighborhoods like Morningstar Ranch and Quinta Do Lago, most properties are 21st-century new traditional and Spanish Revival homes, often set on lots of a quarter-acre to a half-acre. “The lots here tend to be larger than the more developed areas nearby, like Temecula or Murrieta,” Bowser says.

Riverside County's highest rated districts
French Valley students are served by two of Riverside County’s top-rated school districts. Murrieta Valley Unified School District earns an overall A from Niche, and in 2024, three of its high schools were recognized as California Distinguished Schools by the California Department of Education (CDE). Temecula Valley Unified School District is also rated A, and in 2020 earned a Gold Ribbon from the CDE for its students' strong academic performance.

Lots of parks and nearby open spaces
Sprawling sports parks and neighborhood green spaces are scattered across French Valley’s myriad subdevelopments. Spencer's Crossing is centered around its namesake 12-acre sports park, and Emerald Park in Dutch Village North is a favorite for afternoon dog-walks and pick-up basketball. “French Valley’s also close to a bunch of great hiking spots,” says Bowser. “The Santa Rosa Plateau’s perfect for anyone who loves the outdoors. Grassy fields, hiking trails — it’s got it all.” Spanning 1,400 acres, the Lake Skinner Recreation Area also lies just east of the Valley; locals come here to fish, camp or go sailing. Every June, the Temecula Valley Balloon and Wine Festival attracts tens of thousands here to enjoy concerts, wine tastings and balloon glows in the evening.

High wildfire risk in the French Valley
French Valley is at a major risk of wildfires, due to its arid climate and strong valley winds. The most recent fire to impact the area was the Pauba Fire in 2024, which spread 101 acres south of Temecula and prompted evacuations in the nearby city.
Interstate 70 to San Diego and the French Valley Airport
Winchester Road runs through the center of French Valley, leading 7 miles south to Interstate 15; from there, it’s 63 miles south to San Diego. Southwest Healthcare Inland Valley Hospital is 9 miles west in Murrieta, and the Temecula Valley Hospital is 13 miles south in Temecula. Ontario International Airport is 50 miles north, but private plane owners can use the local French Valley Airport.
Dutch Village South residents can easily access both the I-15 and I-215.
