San Clemente is a beach side city in Orange County, California. The city motto is the “Spanish Village by the Sea.” The motto comes from the combination of San Clemente’s sea side location and the high number of Spanish Colonial style homes. The city was incorporated in February of 1928. With a population of approximately 64,000 residents, it is a mid-size city. San Clemente is surrounded by Dana Point on the north, Oceanside on the south, Fallbrook on the east and the Pacific Ocean on the west. The city is approximately halfway between Los Angeles and San Diego.
San Clemente is one of the most accessible beach front real estate markets in Orange County. San Clemente is divided into nine sections; San Clemente Central, San Clemente Southwest, San Clemente Southeast, San Clemente North, Coast District, Foster District, Foster Ranch, Marblehead, Rancho San Clemente and Talega. Each section is made up of several developments and neighborhoods, both gated and non gated neighborhoods are available. Home prices range from $160,000 to ten million dollars for custom built beach front estates. Home prices can be half of what prices are in Newport Beach and Laguna Beach.
