Originally developed in 1950, the Clairemont neighborhood of San Diego was unique at the time for not being assembled in the traditional grid system of uniform block and streets. Alternately, the neighborhood took advantage of the canyons that look down upon Mission Bay, creating winding streets with scenic views. At the time, Clairemont was nicknamed “the village within the city.” Made up of North Clairemont, South Clairemont, Clairemont Mesa West and Clairemont Mesa East, the suburban neighborhood is home to 80,000 residents. St. Catherine Condominiums are located in Clairemont Mesa East. Available two bedrooms, two bathroom units are approximately 1,192 square feet and cost between $275,000 and $325,000. Comparably, other homes in the neighborhood have an average listing price of $327,139. Potentially viewed as an investment property, home values in Clairemont Mesa East are anticipated to increase by 0.8 percent next year.
