Convenient access to San Diego hotspots
Roughly 5 miles inland from the Pacific coast and less than 10 miles north of Downtown San Diego, residents of suburban Clairemont Mesa East aren't far from all the city has to offer. While the neighborhood is conveniently located near major interstates and thoroughfares, residents don’t need to leave the immediate area to find popular national retailers and an array of international cuisines. “It’s very central and close to everything, with lots of restaurants and stores,” says North Clairemont resident Adrian Quijano, an agent with Whissel Realty Group.

Midcentury single-family builds and condos
Most homes here date back to the 1950s and '60s, though construction continued through the ‘90s. Most houses are single-story ranch-style, but it’s possible to find some two-story builds; earlier homes typically have traditional architectural details, while later homes tend to have more modern aesthetics. “What’s cool is that these homes aren’t governed by HOAs anymore, so now you can add on and do what you want, which you cannot do in Carmel Valley,” says local resident Bobby Martins, broker and owner at Martins Realty Group. "If you want to customize in a unique manner, this is a fantastic neighborhood.” Modest builds with roughly 1,200 square feet start around $800,000, while 2,000-square-foot versions with significant renovations and upgrades can go for upward of $1.5 million. Buyers can also find small apartment-style studio condos starting at around $330,000; larger condo units and townhouses can go for upward of $650,000.
