By RENEE SCHIAVONE:

For all the Murrieta lovebirds out there looking for a nice, romantic getaway this Valentine’s Day— you don’t have to look far. That’s because you’re living in, and right next to, one of the most romantic cities in America, according to a new report.

According to the real estate website Movato, Murrieta ranks 47 out of 174 of the Most Romantic Mid-Sized Cities in America.

Nearby Temecula came in eleventh. A total of 174 cities were ranked.

“To determine which places would set your heart aflutter, we looked at marriage statistics and the number of flower shops, parks (for your romantic strolling needs), romantic restaurants, and wedding planning businesses in 174 mid-sized cities,” Movato writes of their methodology to compile the list.

If you’d rather take a little drive to someplace romantic, you have several options. The majority— 70 percent— of the top ten romantic cities are in California; and most of those are here in SoCal.

So, you might be asking, what are the 10 Ten cities? They are:

4. Huntington Beach, CA
5. Bellevue, WA
6. Naperville, IL
