Central, San Clemente Neighborhood

Central San Clemente real estate, also known as downtown San Clemente, stretches from Avenida Pico off Interstate 5 to Avenida Del Mar and from the coast up to the hill tops just east of the freeway along this stretcy.  Please refer to our interactive map for a more detailed outline of this area.

Central or Downtown San Clemente real estate includes property types ranging from condos, mixed-use, single-family residences, and luxury estates. This area consists primarily of condos west of the freeway, and therefore, tends to be a more densely populated area. The mixed-use properties have office and retail on the lower floors and residences on the upper floors. Central San Clemente real estate also has large custom homes with some of the most spectacular views of the Pacific Ocean, Catalina, and Dana Point Harbor, especially high on the hilltop of Misty Ridge just east of the freeway.

Because the inventory of properties is diverse, the prices and square footage for the San Clemente real estate in this area varies significantly. Most downtown San Clemente condos offer 1,000 – 2,000 square feet.  The price, however, can dramatically fluctuate as San Clemente ocean view condos have a premium attached to them pushing values well over $1,000,000. Many Central San Clemente condos have HOA dues, specifically the high-end ocean view developments with dues running between $300-500 per month.  Similarily, the San Clemente homes and luxury estates also differ in size and price depending on location within the area, lot size, and views.  San Clemente ocean view homes in Central offer some of the best ocean views among all of Orange County real estate.  Only select single family developments have HOA dues in this area. Central San Clemente real estate has no Mello-Roos.

Downtown San Clemente along Avenida Del Mar consists of many boutique locally owned shops and restaurants ranging from seafood at the pier to Mexican food just up the hill. This is a great area to stroll, shop, eat, or just relax anytime of the year. The pier is host to many events annually, including 4th of July fireworks. Central San Clemente along the coastal side of Interstate 5 is also home to many vacation rentals, particularly during the summer months.  For more lifestyle information, please visit the "Discover San Clemente" section of our website and our blog.

Investing in Central

Because Central San Clemente real estate is older, there are a lot of investment opportunities as the area is experiencing some redevelopment. There are also opportunities to own a San Clemente vacation rental as there is high demand for summer rentals in this area from the end of May to beginning of September. Owning a home or condo in Central San Clemente is for the investor who is all about location. Living in Central San Clemente means you will more than likely be a very short distance to the beach, shops, restaurants, and many other amenities.

San Clemente real estate is considered to offer some of the most affordable coastal real estate in Southern California, especially compared to Laguna Beach real estate, Newport Coast real estate, and Corona Del Mar real estate where prices are significantly higher per square foot. As San Clemente real estate continues to experience a lot of redevelopment in the older areas, values will go up in the long-term as there is little coastal land left to develop in the Orange County real estate market.
