Bask in scenic views from the Spanish Village by the Sea

On the Rise Coastal Beaches Scenic Views Surf Shopping Dining

San Clemente is the perfect beachside residential area on the California coast. Midway between Los Angeles and San Diego, San Clemente has the best of both worlds: big city convenience in a surf suburbia. Views of the ocean, hills, and mountains all combine with a pleasant climate and more sunny days than not. The Spanish Colonial architecture is historical to this town and is reason for San Clemente being known as the “Spanish Village by the Sea.” People choose this area for its boutique shops, gourmet restaurants, unbeatable views, and pristine beaches for surfing, swimming, and basking in the California sun. Apartments are widespread in San Clemente, so be sure to find your perfect home and enjoy your day in-day out coastal lifestyle.
