The majority of homes in the town have a traditional feel; they’ev been in existence after the war era through the 1990s. Residents enjoy several local parks and a vibrant shopping scene in addition to a wide variety of international cuisine options. And the average commute for workers in Clairemont is less than thirty minutes.

The weather is perfect for exercise, sports, walking dogs and birdwatching alike.
