I grew up in San Clemente 25 years ago, and no matter where life takes me, this place will always feel like home. Spent my childhood in the water, riding bikes through town, and being down on Del Mar more days than I can count. I’ve watched this city evolve over the years, but somehow it’s still held onto that small-town feel that makes it different. My family’s been part of that story too. From La Tiendita to Café Del Sol, and even the Miramar Theatre back in the day… this town isn’t just familiar to me, it’s personal. Now I get to work here every day, helping people move into the same neighborhoods I grew up in. Same streets, same beaches, just a different season of life. And I don’t take that for granted. There’s a reason people come here and don’t want to leave. Grateful for where I come from. Grateful for the people here. And looking forward to building a life and raising a family in the same place that shaped me.

If I was moving my family to an Orange County suburb, these are 5 neighborhoods I’d seriously consider, based on schools, lifestyle, and long-term value 1️⃣ Rancho San Clemente – San Clemente
Entry: ~$1.4M+
Style: Hilltop homes, real yards, quiet streets
Why it works: Close to the 5, hiking trails everywhere, strong schools, and still feels like a neighborhood, not a development. Feels coastal without paying beach-front prices. 2️⃣ Mission Viejo (Central / Pacific Hills areas)
Entry: ~$1.1M–$1.3M+
Style: Traditional suburban homes, larger lots
Why it works: Lake access, parks, community events, and some of the most family-friendly streets in South OC. You’re buying stability here. 3️⃣ Kite Hill – Laguna Niguel
Entry: ~$1.5M+
Style: 80s/90s homes on generous lots
Why it works: Big backyards, community pool & tennis, strong schools, and 10–15 minutes to Salt Creek or Aliso Beach. One of the best true “neighborhood feels” in OC. 4️⃣ Mission Hills / Oaks Farms – San Juan Capistrano
Entry: ~$1.2M–$1.5M+ 
Style: Ranch-style and character homes
Why it works: Charm, space, horse trails nearby, top private school access, and a slower pace that families love. This is where people move when they want room to breathe. 5️⃣ Pacific Ridge (detached homes only) – Aliso Viejo
Entry: ~$1.3M+
Style: Newer construction, clean layouts
Why it works: Parks, trails, highly rated schools, and a master-planned feel without being cookie-cutter. Great balance of convenience and family living.

Whenever I post videos of Orange County I get the same comments. “Show me the needles.” “Okay now show me the homeless camps.” “Where’s the graffiti?” People love to label California as one thing. But California is the largest state in the country with nearly 40 million people and every region is completely different. Orange County is its own environment. Clean beaches. Parks that actually look like the postcards. Miles of coastal trails. Highly rated schools. Neighborhoods where people still take evening walks. Is Orange County perfect? No. But people who are seeking the highest return on lifestyle regardless of cost consistently choose Orange County. Not because it is cheap. Because if the lifestyle you want includes ocean views, year round sunshine, safe communities, and outdoor living… Orange County is hard to beat. If you’re thinking about making the move and want to know which cities people love the most here… Comment “OC BOUND” and I will send you my guide to the top cities in Orange County.
