What was once agricultural fields and cattle ranches is now one of the fastest growing areas in southwest Riverside County. The beginnings of dramatic change came to the Rancho California area in the late 1960’s and early 1970’s as developers began purchasing property and building homes to keep up with the influx of people in search of affordable housing. Although several of the original ranches disappeared with the growth of the valley, this area continues to produce agricultural crops, including wine grapes, citrus, and avocado, as well as many fruits and vegetables.

The I-15 corridor between Los Angeles County and San Diego was completed in the early 1980’s igniting single-family housing development in the Rancho California and surrounding areas. The Riverside Office of Rick Engineering Company worked on many projects in this region, some of which are the residential communities of Rancho Bella Vista, Morgan Hill and Temeku Hills, and is proud to have been a part of the significant growth in this area of Riverside County.

Famous for its fine wines and with its combination of mild climate and rolling hills, the Temecula Valley area remains a popular choice for new development. Rick Engineering Company looks forward to being a part of the continuing expansion along the I-15 corridor.
