        <title>Bay Cliff Village Senior Housing</title>
    <description> <![CDATA[ 
The Bay Cliff Village is one of three senior housing communities in San Clemente, California.  Located right next to the Shore Cliffs at the top of the hill lies a very small and intimate community called Bay Cliff Village.  The community was first built back in 1962 with the idea of providing single level homes for those older than 55 years of age.  There are approximately 108 homes in this community that have a central community clubhouse as pictured below.


Since there is such a low inventory of homes to start with and many love living here we rarely see homes come on the market here.  Its not uncommon to have only one to two properties come up for sale here at any given time.  The floor plans have a combination of one to two bedroom homes and are classified as own your own instead of a residential or condo property classification.  The great part about this community is that the association covers the water, trash and cable tv.Architecturally these are ranch style homes with a small handful built with an a-frame style over the front door.  The north section of the community has a huge greenbelt area where the homes sit adjacent to as pictured above.   This is where you will find the community clubhouse.Association dues are relatively low for the area and average $337 a month.  Unfortunately, there is no FHA or VA financing available on these homes so its important to check with your lender on the availability of loans in this area.  One of the best parts about Bay Cliff Village is the close proximity to the beach.  On estimate, you are about a 1/2 mile to the beach which would take about an easy 20 minute walk down the hill which ends at the beach.  Home prices are normally in the mid $400,000 range for both one and two bedroom homes.Here are the current homes for sale in the Bay Cliff Village neighborhood.  Please contact us with any questions.

        <title>Mirador Talega Spanish Homes</title>
    <description> <![CDATA[ 
For those who love the classic Spanish architectural design will love the Mirador community in Talega.  Talega is one of the newest communities in San Clemente and was built starting just 14 years ago and still continues to grow with new construction homes currently being built.  The neighborhood is non-gated and features larger two story homes that average in the 4,000 square feet range with 4 to 6 bedrooms. 


Located back in the hills and at one of the highest point in Talega is where you will find the Mirador community.  The homes offer many wonderful features that bring the indoor and outdoor spaces together.  Interior courtyards, vaulted ceilings, round entry towers and rounded windows really bring out the Spanish flare.  Home prices have always remained strong in this neighborhood and have rarely dipped well below the $1 million dollar price point.  As the market has improved these homes are now selling in the mid $1.2 to $1.3 range with 2 homes currently on the market and 1 property under contract.



Home sales have remained very strong with 11 properties sold in the last year between $1,000,0000 to $1,425,000.  All of these homes have been larger five and six bedrooms homes with an exception of two properties which featured 3 and 4 bedrooms respectively.  Many of the homes will be located on lots of more 10,000 square feet.  Below are the current Mirador Talega homes for sale.  Please contact me with any questions at 949-291-0424.
