Mead Valley, CA

Mead Valley is a census-designated community in Riverside County, California, set in a valley of the same name in the northeastern Temescal Mountains. It sits at about 1,663 feet of elevation and has a largely inland, semi-rural Southern California feel. Most of the community is served by Val Verde Unified School District, with small areas tied to Perris schools. Mead Valley is not a polished resort suburb; it is more residential, practical, and tied to the growth pressure around Perris and western Riverside County.
