 San Clemente Ca Real Estate & Lifestyle

San Clemente California Homes and little Beach Village is so wonderfully located between Los Angeles and San Diego Counties. San Clemente California is located between Los Angeles and San Diego, as mentioned above. The city spans 16 square miles of awesome foothills, prime real estate, which includes the beautiful Talega Home community. Pristine coastlines, describes this place, referred to as the Spanish Village by the Sea.  At first glance the Spanish tile roofs and white stucco walls against the blue waters of the Pacific Ocean are reminiscent of the Greek Isles, just as Ole Hanson envisioned when he founded the town in 1925. There are several signs that San Clemente will remain a quiet village, no matter how fast it's growing or how many people are buying real estate and no matter how many new homes are built on the hills around it. People still stop to chat as they stroll down Avenida Del Mar, the city's shopping showcase. The same people take the same spots on the 33 acres of beach that border the southernmost tip of Orange County. And while area malls and shopping centers serve newer, larger communities, San Clemente's local merchants still manage to serve a large part of the community. It is the kind of lifestyle that developer Ole Hanson envisioned when he founded the city in 1929. Hanson dreamed of building a "Spanish Village By the Sea" when he purchased 2,000 acres of then-Rancho Santa Margarita for just over $1 million in 1926. Hanson built white, stucco homes with re-tiled roofs, then a swimming club and downtown shopping area to match. He, his family and the men who plowed through acres of brush to make way for development gave city streets charming, Spanish monikers to fit the feel of the city. And as the city drew thousands to its beaches every year, it won converts who moved their families into the white stucco, red roofed homes as well as the new developments. One of those converts was then President Richard Nixon, who bought Casa Pacifica, one of the city's well-known Spanish mansions, in 1969. The city won instant fame as the "Home of the Western White House" and the president became a local celebrity at area golf courses and restaurants. Here are some Historical Sites: Casa Romantica - C415 Avenida Granada, San Clemente Historic Spanish Colonial Revival estate of San Clemente founder Ole Hanson. Visiting hours are Tuesday 1 to 4 pm & Wednesday to Sunday 11 am to 4 pm. We are ciwelosed Mondays The City's population and service area are expected to double over the next 20 years as various development projects are completed. These new residential projects will be accompanied by commercial and retail developments to provide for a balanced and economically stable community.  San Clemente has some of the most beautiful historical buildings in the west. While in town, make a point to visit the Casa Romantica, the historic home of Ole Hanson overlooking the Pacific Ocean, as well as our two wonderful historical museums at the Heritage of San Clemente, which includes a complete surfing museum and the Historical Society Museum in City Hall.
