General Description

The perfect rich natural beauty

You probably already know this key real estate phrase: “It’s all about location, location, location.” This maxim certainly holds true for San Diego’s Clairemont neighborhood. With an area of about 13.3 square miles (34 km2) and a population of over 81,600 residents, the community has a prime location about eight miles north of downtown San Diego.

Clairemont was actually first developed in the 1950s and derived its name from Marjorie Claire –the wife of one of the developers. After World War II, residents began moving to the town en mass, making it San Diego’s largest suburb.

Today, the neighborhood is still highly popular for individuals in search of a town that is family-friendly and enjoys a short commute to San Diego.

Clairemont residents enjoy rich natural beauty, as the community is still surrounded by natural vegetation and wildlife. 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.
