Inland Empire Magazine readers have voted Menifee the Best City in the Inland Empire for 2025. Menifee was one of several cities from the region nominated for the award.
Incorporated in 2008, Menifee has since grown to become the largest city in Southwest Riverside County, with a population exceeding 115,000 residents.
“Menifee is dedicated to thoughtful planning and ensuring that everything we do provides our residents and businesses with the best quality of life possible,” City Manager Armando G. Villa said. “Our City Council has adopted a Five-Year Strategic Plan and $700-million Capital Improvement Program that will further ensure Menifee remains a premier, safe, and thriving community.”
Inland Empire Magazine formally announced Menifee as the Best City winner during its Best of the Best Awards Gala last week. “Our readers recognize Menifee as a city with a wealth of opportunity that is continuing to develop into a top-tier community,” Inland Empire Magazine Publisher Samantha Smith said. “Menifee continues to be among the best of the best here in the Inland Empire, and we were thrilled to present the Best City award to them this year.”
