About San Clemente Real Estate

Discover San Clemente – Coastal Living in South Orange County

San Clemente is a classic Southern California beach town in the southernmost part of Orange County, CA, celebrated for its scenic beaches, mild Mediterranean climate, and signature Spanish Colonial Revival architecture. The city offers a wide range of homes for sale—including single-family residences, condos, townhomes, and multi-family properties—plus select newer construction alongside mid-century neighborhoods.

San Clemente is made up of distinct neighborhoods with their own character and amenities. Popular areas include Talega (master-planned community with parks and trails), Forster Ranch (larger lots and hills views), and the Pier Bowl area (walkable, beach-close living). Investors and second-home buyers will also find a strong rental market with both short-term vacation rentals (where permitted) and long-term options.
