Central San Clemente

If you thought you would never be able to live close to the beach, think again. Central is quintessential beach living. Sitting on your large deck or in the front yard while sipping on your iced tea, you will be sure to get a glimpse of someone walking down to the beach with friends, dogs or children and, of course, someone toting their surf board to the popular surf spots San Clemente has to offer. Friendly and easy-going people are always happy to stop and say hello. Dog owners and their best friends walk the beach trail and inevitably meet other dogs and their owners along the way. It is the type of community you think of when you hear the term “beach living.”

Central has the widest variety of housing options among all the neighborhoods in San Clemente. It’s comprised of single family homes, condos, townhouses and multi-family units. We have the whole gambit here with older beach homes, remodeled homes and not to mention the historic Ole Hanson homes, the Spanish Colonial Revival style which the founder of San Clemente required of all new buildings in the 1930’s.
