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 amenities.  Since many of these homes were built in the last 22 years the interiors of the home tend to be more modern and updated when compared with other neighborhood homes in San Clemente.  The schools located in the Talega area are also a huge factor for those choosing to live here as they are considered some of the best in the San Clemente area.

Some of the reasons why some people are hesitant about living here are for some of the same reasons that people love it.  Many people who live in the older areas of San Clemente where the homes are custom built and tend to be on the older side then the idea of living in a planned community is not appealing. Also, many of the homes in Talega have an added Mello Roos tax on top of their homeowners association dues which is something that also doesn't appeal to a lot of buyers.  Finally, the weather tends to be a little warmer in the Talega area compared with homes located near the beach so this is another factor I have heard as well.  We always recommend taking a look at these homes at make up your own mind if the Talega area is a place you would like to live.
