Welcome to San Clemente

Known by many as the Spanish Village by the Sea, the enchanting coastal town of San Clemente offers the perfect blend of outstanding weather, postcard-worthy views, outdoor recreation and sought-after
neighborhoods. Founded by Ole Hanson, whose Casa Romantica is now a local landmark and gathering
place, San Clemente draws tourists and homebuyers alike who enjoy visiting its famous fishing pier, surf
spots, golf courses, parks and miles-long San Clemente Beach Trail. A genuine paradise for shoppers, San
Clemente’s Avenida del Mar district is located in the heart of town, while Outlets at San Clemente offers
Orange County’s only coastal outlet center.

Rich Spanish Colonial Revival, Santa Barbara, Monterey and Mediterranean-inspired architecture continues the vision that Hanson envisioned when he founded San Clemente in the 1920s and created one of the country’s first master-planned communities. Famous as the setting for former President Richard Nixon’s Western White House, the city offers home seekers an impressive selection of ocean-view seaside estates, carefree townhomes, 55-and-better communities, classic beach cottages, and fully appointed master- planned villages just a few minutes inland. Award-winning schools are located throughout San Clemente, and northern San Diego County and central Orange County are just moments away.
