Southern California Senior Communities

Southern California is home to many senior communities throughout San Diego, Orange and Los Angeles counties.  Many of these communities will offer different style amenities in all different price points.  If you are looking to live by the beach then the senior communities in San Clemente, California area hard to beat.

San Clemente is home to 3 different senior communities that area located very close to the beach.  Home prices will start as $300,000 for a small 2 bedroom cottage style home to $600,000 for a newer construction home in a gated community.  Depending on your budget and style of living will determine the best place for you.  Here is quick overview of the communities that area available in San Clemente.

The first community is called Colony Cove.  The cottages were in the mid 1960's and feature two to three bedroom cottage and bungalow style houses.  The houses are located close to each other with small grassy areas located between the houses.  Walking from house to house literally is steps away so a true sense of community exists here.  Most of the homes in the community don't have views unless you are located on the perimeter or on the ocean front.  Ocean front homes normally sell in the $700,000 while ocean view homes start in the mid $500,000.  Currently, homes start at $449,000 but homes do come on the market in the mid $300,000, the key is to act quickly when they do come up.

The second community is called Bay Cliff Village.  This community is located very close to Colony Cove and just blocks to the sandy beach.  The neighborhood itself is very small and is located on just one small area where the homes are also located very close to each other.  The homes are not situated to have ocean views and you will only find a very small community clubhouse so you are buying more for the location than anything else.  Bay Cliff Village homes currently start in the low $400,000 range.

The third community is the Talega Gallery community.  These homes start at $600,000 and can go as high as $1,000,000.  The properties are all single level except for a select few that are two story.  Even the two story homes have all the bedrooms located on the main level with a large loft and small guest bedroom located upstairs.  The homes sell very quickly in this community since they have been built a little more than 10 years ago.  The community is gated and the association features a nice pool, spa, fitness center, meeting rooms and large ballroom.  The clubhouse almost has daily activities for it's residents and it's very much an active lifestyle if you live here.  Keep in mind this community is located a little more than a mile to the beach and you do have the extra Talega association fee and Mello Roos tax.

San Clemente has a very cool climate and expect 72 degrees all year around expect for a couple weeks in the summer time.  The real estate market is very healthy with a large number of homes selling each year.  The town itself still remains the old charm from the 1920's origin of the city and truly is a great place to call home by the beach.  For more information on these senior communities in Southern California please contact us at 949-291-0424 today.
