The Clairemont community of San Diego is a close-knit, active community just north of University of San Diego. The neighborhood is surrounded by more campus, such as San Diego Mesa College and the University of California San Diego (just four miles north), making for an energetic feel in this scenic locale. Clairemont residents have access to Tecolote Canyon Natural Park, a 903-acre green space full of hiking trails. Locals head to the Clairemont Town Square Mall and Genesee Plaza to shop, both offering a variety of big-box stores and restaurants. Residents love the area for its seemingly relaxed atmosphere, but it’s still close to the heart of San Diego and neighboring communities. Rentals range from charming single-story homes to dazzling apartments along Clairemont Mesa Boulevard.
