Area Amenities
The southern location and winding streets creates excellent privacy with little thru traffic.
Southwest San Clemente is the most private area in the city that is west of the 5 Freeway. While you are not far from the Downtown area, the southern location and winding streets creates excellent privacy with little thru traffic. The area is very lush, with many homes sporting tropical landscaping in the front and back yards; more than any other part of San Clemente, the Southwest area feels like living in Hawaii or other island locales. And lest we forget, the BEACHES...without question, you would be hard-pressed to find nicer sand and bluer water in Orange County (or Southern California for that matter) than at Southwest beaches.
