First settled by members of the Cahuilla Indian tribe, much of the larger Hemet area, known as the San Jacinto Valley, became a cattle ranch for Mission San Luis Rey in the early 1800's. Ultimately the city was named for Lake Hemet which was developed in the late 1800s to supply water to the region.

Water meant the development of agriculture. Farmers began to irrigate alfalfa, plant fruit orchards and row crops. Before long, Hemet became famous for its potatoes.

Once water was developed, much of Hemet’s initial growth was fueled by the arrival of regular train service. The train meant both more people and the ability to send produce north to the markets of Riverside and Los Angeles. Hemet was connected to the larger world. Hemet was incorporated in 1910.

The famed Ramona Pageant was launched in 1923, based on a story written years earlier by author Helen Hunt Jackson. Originally launched as a way to promote Hemet and the San Jacinto Valley, it continues today as a wonderful Tradition.

Hemet Real Estate began to come into it’s own in the 1960s with the development of the country’s first “own your lot” mobile home development, aimed at retirees. As the retirement community grew, so did the services they needed, attracting younger people. Now Hemet is home to all ages.

Hemet offers a wonderful combination of recreational, educational and cultural institutions. Located at the foot of the San Jacinto Mountains, Hemet provides nature at its best and golf courses that are hard to beat.

Today, Hemet's home offerings are a unique blend of those aimed at retirement, and affordable homes for younger families. Hemet has a sound financial base and offers employment within the city. Its location between San Diego and Los Angeles means Hemet also provides employment opportunities beyond its own borders.

With its mild weather, solid growth and true diversity of opportunity, Hemet real estate is perfect for you.
