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.
