We receive a lot of calls for clients looking for rentals in the San Clemente area.   One of the more popular areas to find rentals in the Downtown area.  This area is covers homes located on the west side of the 5 freeway and located between the T-Street and the North San Clemente neighborhood.  If you are new to San Clemente then it's important to know that there are a lot of income property buildings which comprise of duplex, triplex and four unit places.  I have lived here for 25 years and there has always been a strong demand and a short supply in this area.  In today's age of short term vacation rentals owners can get good money during the high seasons summer months so many owners have elected to do short term rentals.  These are typically rented

One of the best places to find ocean view homes in the San Clemente area is the Harbor Estates community.  This area is often confused as being in the city of Dana Point due to its close proximity to Capistrano Beach area of Dana Point.  Rental properties in this area don't come on the market that often but often lease out after a short period of time. In 2023, we saw a total of 5 homes come on the market that ranged from $6,000 to $7,500 a month in rent. Prices will typically vary depending on the size and the view of the property. Most of the rentals located here are 12 month leases to start and then can often be re-negotiated for a longer term lease.  Below is a chart of what has leased in Harbor Estates since the early months of 2020.  For the most

One of the most affordable places to find condo rentals in the Talega area is the Alassio tract.  For the most part, rental prices have consistently been under the $4,000 a month range for 2 and 3 bedroom condos that start just over 1,200 square feet of living space. The most recent rentals that have been leased out are feature below in this rental history chart and give you a good idea on what things rent for here. I love this location as it's a short walking distance to the Ralph's shopping center filled with some great restaurants and retail stores.  One thing to keep in mind is that these condos are located multiple levels that often comes with attached garages that offer direct access into the condo.  Some of the features that are really popular here

One of the hidden gems for finding good quality rental homes in the San Clemente area is the Vilamoura community.  Over the last couple of years this has been one of the go to places when looking for a quality rental in the mid $3,000 to low $4,000 a month range. What I love about these townhomes are the very well thought out floor plans with soaring ceilings for properties that can have square footages of 1,400 to 1,800 square feet.  We recently just saw a very nice ocean view rental in Vilamoura come on the market that was only on the market for 2 days and offered stunning views as pictured below.  It was priced at $4,500 a month which is expected when you have a premier ocean view in this community.  Non-ocean view homes here will come in at a lower

Talega is one of our planned communities here in San Clemente that offers some of the newer style with a wide range of single family homes and residential condos.  There is a limited number of rental properties in the Talega area that offer a view of the ocean since the properties located here are approximately over 1 mile away from the beach.  Since I have lived in San Clemente for over 20 years I run across many people that either love or hate the Talega area for a variety of reasons.  Many of the people who love living here for these few reasons.  First, the homes in this community are what we call a planned community where everything is planned to the style of the homes, number of floor plans in each individual neighborhood to all the community

One of the more popular places to look for rental homes in San Clemente is the Marblehead area.  The community has expanded greatly in the last several years with the additional of the newer Sea Summit community.  Originally the Marblehead community consisted of homes located on the east side of the 5 freeway located in a secure gated community with a number of neighborhoods to choose from.  There were also a couple condo tracts that were located just outside this gated community which formed the Marblehead area.  Then back in 2015 everything changed with the construction of brand new homes in four different neighborhoods located on the west (ocean) side of the 5 freeway.  This community is commonly known as Sea Summit and has become on the hottest

If you are new to San Clemente one of the first places you will probably visit would be the San Clemente Pier area.  This is also a great place to find a short or long term rental depending on what you are looking for.  During the summer months San Clemente becomes a very popular place to vacation so many residents who own properties in this area will increase their rental prices for this high season time frame which typically seen during June, July, August and September.  These normally are fully furnished rentals that offer everything you would need for the perfect vacation by the beach and San Clemente really has a lot to offer.

San Clemente has a lot of rental options depending on the kind of home that you want and the location.  Renters looking for newer construction homes on the ocean side of the freeway should consider the brand new Sea Summit community for it's beautiful Spanish & Mediterranean style homes that can offer nice ocean views.  Over the past year we have seen several rental homes come up on the market for lease with four different neighborhoods to choose from.  The large majority of rentals tend to be located in the Sea Summit Agua neighborhood which is the most affordable of all 4 neighborhoods.  These homes have a shared driveway with other neighboring homes so it's not a traditional detached home.

One of the most affordable places to live in San Clemente is arguably the Vista Pacifica complex.  This is actually a really nice place to live located in the plush Rancho San Clemente area that's located very close to the San Clemente high school and the onramp for the 5 freeway.  The most sought after rentals in this complex are those that offer an ocean view.  There is a very limited number of these units located on the perimeter of the complex that have direct views of the ocean and Catalina Island.  These are also some of the most expensive rentals in Vista Pacifica so if you are looking to save money look for those that are located on the interior of the community.  Properties that can be found in Vista Pacifica consist of one and two bedroom condos

Arguably, one of the best neighborhoods in San Clemente is the Southwest San Clemente area.  What makes it so desirable is you won't find two homes that look exactly the same which has not been the trends for new construction homes.  Many of the new neighborhoods in San Clemente are considered tract communities that alternate between 3 to 4 different floor plans with every third or forth property looking the same.  This is not the case in the Southwest area as every home was custom built by owners who live there.  Many of the original beach homes still exist while many have been converted into much larger homes which tends to be a trend in real estate nowadays.  

Rental prices for single family homes will typically start at $3,000 per month for a two
