San Clemente is about 60 miles from Los Angeles, 50 miles from San Diego, 30 miles from Irvine, 35 miles from Anaheim and 65 miles from Riverside. From Washington, D.C. the distance is 2398 miles, and from Sacramento, the State capitol, the distance is 400 miles. Many people buy San Clemente real estate because their home is then located approximately half way between Los Angeles and San Diego.

March, 2004 - Famous California Web Realtor (R) Debbie Ferrari with Greg Smith, Executive Director of the Casa Romantica Cultural Center, prior to attending one of the Casa's winter musical performances.  Realtor/Broker Debbie served on one of the city's early committees to study the best uses for the then-crumbling Casa Romantica, home of Ole Hanson, founder of San Clemente.  She remains a Vice President of the Heritage of San Clemente Foundation, an early advocate of Casa renewal.  The Casa, now, mostly restored, is already proving its value as a quality venue for worthy community activities, meetings, charity events, and as an entertainment center.  It stands on a high cliff above the San Clemente pier bowl area on what is undoubtedly the absolute best, most costly piece of real estate in the city.

While the area near Highway 101, (known also as Pacific Coast Highway or El Camino Real), is called a “Spanish village by the sea” things look different inland. Eastward into the hills, brand-new communities have sprouted with hundreds of new homes built yearly. Growth abounds here, likely because the sun shines 342 days a year in San Clemente. Is this a place for YOU to buy real estate. Well, whether you buy real estate here as a residence, vacation or investment property, it’s hard to go wrong in our city by the sea.

San Clemente real estate even holds a surprisingly large industrial complex sporting several mega-million-dollar firms. Despite all its growth, the city has still preserved the real estate vision of its founder, Ole Hanson, in 1928. Hanson required that buildings all use a classic Spanish with a red tile roof, which was the Spanish influence. Today, many such older homes are still found on San Clemente real estate…and protected by historical charters.
 

Ole Hanson

Ole Hanson's Vision

"I vision a place where people can live together more pleasantly than any other  place in America....   the whole picture is very clear before me....  I can see hundreds of white-walled homes bonneted with red tile, with trees, shrubs, hedges of hibiscus, palms and geraniums lining the drives, and a profusion of flowers framing the patios and gardens... I want plazas, playgrounds, schools, clubs, swimming pools, a golf course, a fishing pier and a beach enlivened by people getting a healthy joy out of their life... I do not want people repulsed and sent away by ugliness in other communities... I have a clean canvas and I am determined to paint a clean picture."
