San Clemente Overview

Known as the 'Spanish Village By The Hill', San Clemente offers gorgeous sweeping views of the Pacific ocean as well as a bounty of scenic hillside. Highlighted by pleasing Spanish architectural flourishes and ideally located midway between Los Angeles and San Diego, this California dream spot is an ideal place to hang your hat.

What is the history of San Clemente?

Officially incorporated in 1927, the city quickly added a fire station as well as numerous homes along the scenic coastline. A City Hall was completed in 1929, and President Nixon purchased what would come to be nicknamed the 'Western White House' in the 1960s. The city remained a popular draw among the jet set for much of the century, adding corporate headquarters for industries ranging from medical supplies to clothing giants over the years. 

How is the weather in San Clemente?

When it comes to sunny California weather, San Clemente apartments are located in the epicenter. With an average of well over 300 sun-filled days each year, this idyllic slice of west coast real estate is prone to temperatures in the 70s and an annual precipitation level of about 10 inches. 

How do I get around town?

Free trolley service covers most of the downtown scene as of 2016, and a pair of rail stations offer transport to LA and San Diego, making San Clemente rentals ideal for commuters. Those two cities mark the best options for international air travel as well, and while most living in San Clemente apartments still claim ownership of a car or truck, bicycling and even skateboarding remain popular additional options for locals.

What is the San Clemente commute like?

While traffic throughout the city proper tends to move smoothly, those taking the major roadway Interstate 5 can expect some slower-than-ideal conditions on many peak hours. This is California after all, and many residing in San Clemente apartments for rent wisely choose the commuter rail over fighting the gridlock of the drive. 

What are the local media outlets?

A duo of print news offerings service the city, including the 'San Clemente Times' and the 'Sun Post News', with the 'LA Times' also fairly popular among the locals. Broadcast television options are vast thanks to nearby affiliates, and radio leans towards a winning mix of soft jazz, modern rock and talk news formats. 

Why live in San Clemente, CA?

Always in-demand thanks to its amazing weather and bountiful scenery, this coastal California hot spot is an excellent option for anyone eager to connect with a new West Coast rental. Local schools consistently make the grade, and easy commuter access to the hubs of LA and San Diego helps make San Clemente apartments ideal for anyone looking for a large city job market without the expense and hassle of actually living there. 

What San Clemente landmarks should I see?

The San Clemente Pier is a must-see landmark stretching into the sea, a hit with local surfers as well as tourists. The Historic City Hall presents an excellent example of the famed Spanish architecture the city is known for, and dates back to the 1920s. The Casa Romantica Cultural Center is another excellent spot to tour for history buffs, easily reached from a wide swath of San Clemente apartments for rent.

What is there to do around San Clemente?

Go for a swim at the 1,000 Steps Beach, or hike the Sea Summit Trail, both just a short jaunt from many San Clemente rentals. Goody's Tavern is a great place to raise a few pints with your new neighbors, and The Cellar is known for its vast array of wine and cheese offerings. Enjoy a night of drama at the Cabrillo Playhouse, or simply relax with a good book among the scenic Casa Romantica Gardens, the choice is yours.

Any annual festivals or San Clemente events to know?

Doheny Blues Fest is an excellent way to get your toes tapping, and the San Clemente Fiesta Music Festival draws crowds from all over the state. The Tall Ships Festival also takes advantage of the natural geography every springtime.

Where are the nearby vacation spots?

Hit Highway 101 for a scenic cruise up the coastline north to Sacramento, or head to the heart of LA for star gazing, legendary nightlife and some of the best restaurants in the world. California is also flush with camping, boating and fishing excursions, making an apartment in San Clemente ideal for any nature lover.

Where is the best place to move in San Clemente?

From decorative independent rentals close to the shoreline to economic and roomy 3-bedroom family units conveniently located near the commuter rails, apartments in San Clemente are available to suit a large assortment of individual budgets and lifestyles. Start your hunt today, and see what sunny California has in store for you!
