FORSTER RANCH

Originally started in the 1980’s, Forster Ranch homes have always had an appealing and timeless aesthetic with a majority of the homes being built in Spanish and Mediterranean styles. Situated inland and amongst the foothills of San Clemente, there are many opportunities for great panoramic views of the surrounding hills and the ocean in the distance.  The homes and lots in Forster Ranch tend to be larger and lower in price per square footage in comparison to those that are closer to the water. It’s a wonderful alternative to beachside living without giving up the perks of being so close to the many beaches in San Clemente.

Location

Forster Ranch is located in the north eastern part of San Clemente. The city limits are the boundaries to the north and the southern boundary is Avenida Vista Hermosa. The eastern boundary consists of the hills that separate Forster Ranch from Talega or Forster Ranch Ridgeline Trail. The western boundary are the homes around Camino Vera Cruz. Forster is surrounded by Talega to the East, North San Clemente and Coast District to the west and Rancho San Clemente to the South.
