The Clairemont Mesa community, encompassing approximately 13.3 square
miles, lies south of State Route 52, west of Interstate 805, north of the
Linda Vista community, and east of Interstate 5. Clairemont Mesa is one of
the first post-World War II suburban developments in the City of San
Diego, with many of its homes built in the 1950's and 1960's. The area is
largely defined by its prominent topography. Developed areas of Clairemont
Mesa sit primarily atop mesas punctuated by several major canyon systems,
with San Clemente Canyon to the north and Tecolote Canyon weaving through
the center of the community. Many of the neighborhoods in the western
portion of the community enjoy views of Mission Bay and the Pacific Ocean.
Several significant commercial centers serve Clairemont Mesa and are
located at the intersections of major transportation corridors, such as
Clairemont Drive and Clairemont Mesa Boulevard, as well as Balboa Avenue
and Genesee Ave. Smaller pockets of commercial development are
interspersed throughout the community and along Morena Boulevard.
