Suburban living with access to urban and coastal attractions
About 10 miles north of Downtown San Diego and 5 miles from the Pacific Coast, Clairemont Mesa West offers suburban convenience and a lower average price point than Clairemont area neighborhoods just west, like Bay Park and Bay Ho. “What’s exciting is that this offers an affordable option in an unbeatable location,” says Brea resident Bobby Martins, a Realtor with eXp Realty of California. “It’s minutes to everything — the beaches, downtown, or even east to Santee because of the 52. The main arteries throughout San Diego are all right here.” Residents here are also reap the benefits of being closer to the coast than more inland Clairemont communities. “The west side is more desirable because it’s a few degrees cooler with the ocean breeze,” says longtime area resident Gary Kent, Broker and Owner at Keller Williams Realty La Jolla. Many homes here also have views of Tecolote Canyon, which spans the neighborhood’s west side.

Midcentury homes without HOA restrictions
Clairemont Mesa West is mostly made up of midcentury ranch-style homes, though construction continued here through 2010; local homes sit on streets lined with narrow sidewalks, and most have attached one or two car garages. “A lot of the first homes here were built for military families back in the ‘50s and ‘60s, and now you have longtime residents moving on to their next home,” Martins says. “It’s an area in transformation.” Modest single-family homes in need of a little TLC start around $850,000, while larger homes with plenty of modern upgrades can go for nearly $2 million. Townhouses of up to 2,000 square feet that were built between the late 1960s and early ‘80s range from $700,000 to over $1 million, depending on floor plan and upgrades.
The lack of HOA restrictions in the neighborhood allows for additions and personalized renovations. “Clairemont Mesa West presents a great opportunity to create the home of your dreams with remodels and expansions,” Martins says. “I expect to see a resurgence of families here, because you can still buy in the $800,000 range and build out beautiful ADUs or two-stories, possibly even for grown children taking care of parents.”
