Welcome to San Clemente, a coastal community known as the "Spanish Village by the Sea." This seaside town offers residents a relaxed beach lifestyle, with current rental options ranging from $1,787 for studios to $3,518 for three-bedroom homes. The rental market shows stability with modest increases across most unit sizes, particularly in three-bedroom properties which have seen a 5.4% annual increase. Spanish Colonial Revival architecture defines downtown San Clemente, where cream-stucco buildings with red-tile roofs create a Mediterranean atmosphere. Notable areas include the Southwest Riviera, North Beach district, and the Pier Bowl area, each within walking distance to beaches and local amenities.

The 2.6-mile beach trail connecting North Beach to Calafia State Beach offers ocean views and recreation opportunities for walkers, runners, and cyclists.
