Sit back, close your eyes, and imagine the perfect place to live and raise a family.
Imagine majestic mountain vistas, 350 days of sunshine per year, gardens and trees blooming all year long, 60 degree winter days and cool, dry summer nights.
Imagine a city with one of the lowest crime rates in southern California, with a public school system that repeatedly wins the California Distinguished School designation, and an unparalleled College Consortium. Imagine enchanting village shops and restaurants, acres of nature trails and preserved hiking trials, and hob-nobbing with nationally acclaimed artists.
Imagine a city whose residents´ play an active and integral role in the communities´ historic preservation and local charities. Imagine a city less than an hour drive in any direction from the beautiful Pacific Ocean, glitzy Los Angeles, the desert beauty of Palm Springs, alpine Mt. Baldy, and the wonder that is Disneyland.
Imagine a city where, after time, everyone knows your name.
This is Claremont.
