Village
Claremont Village / Old Claremont
Claremont Village is about as close as this city gets to true walk-everywhere living. Built up around Memorial Park, it's a historic core of Craftsman bungalows and Spanish Revival homes — many recognized by Claremont Heritage — sitting just blocks from boutiques, cafés, and the weekly Farmers & Artisans Market.

Character & Architecture
The Village is the historic heart of Claremont, and its housing stock shows it — Craftsman bungalows, Spanish Revival homes, and mid-century properties line tree-shaded streets built decades before the rest of the city grew up around them. It's a genuine blend of academic culture, historic charm, and everyday foot traffic, with the Claremont Colleges just a short walk from most front doors.
Schools
Village addresses typically zone to Condit Elementary, then El Roble Intermediate and Claremont High School.
Getting Around
Everything that defines the Village — restaurants, shops, the farmers market, the Metrolink station — sits within a comfortable walk. It's the one Claremont neighborhood where a car is genuinely optional for daily life.
Market Notes
Well-priced Village homes tend to move quickly — limited inventory and consistently high demand mean competitive offers are the norm here, especially for restored historic properties. Common property types run from historic Craftsman homes and Spanish Revival houses to mid-century residences and renovated luxury estates, and that mix of historic appeal and limited supply has kept values strong even as the rest of Claremont's market has shifted.
Who This Fits
The Village suits buyers who want their real estate decision and their lifestyle decision to be the same one — walkability, historic character, and downtown energy over square footage and yard space.
