ParticipantI’d treat all of these links with a pinch of salt. Claremont is a nice place to live. Too far out for me. I don’t think anywhere will immune to price declines, but you may want to hear it from the panel of experts.

GuestWell, you’re right, the Piggs generally amuse themselves with the SD area and do an outstanding job of analysis. I’ve lived (rented) in Claremont for two years after 10 of owning a house in Chicago and living on a sailboat for a couple of years. So, my observations are limited, and I’ve collected nearly no data specific to Claremont. But here’s my observations. It’s a great little town, but wildly overpriced in real estate. The market doesn’t seem to be reacting as quickly to adjust as other SOCal areas. I’m guessing that because it is an old, and very stable community, there just isn’t the same level of “forced to sell” which seems to be leading the prices around in other areas. Per Zillow (yeah, I know) there seems to be a lot of long term listings for which the price isn’t moving. Looks like a lot of waiting going around on both the seller and buyer sides. My gut feeling is there is a “price arrogance” about the town. Better values can be found in neighboring towns like LaVerne and Upland. Both of which have nice areas and still are close to Claremont. If you are insistent on Claremont, try to stay north of the tracks. Better area.

ParticipantWe’re talking too many years ago when I was a kid and for a short while lived in Onterrible. The only thing I remember very well is the smog and in the summer smog alerts – meaning if you have any kind of asthma, you should avoid being outside. I remember the winters being able to see Mt. Baldy and in the summer just seeing gray air w/no sign that mountains were even there.
From what I remember, Claremont was a nice area. Of course, that was so long ago. Things can change. Pomona back probably before I was born was supposed to be very nice. When I was a kid, it was to be avoided completely, dangerous, very bad.
Upland is supposed to be nice, also Alta Loma. I think generally the closer you are to the mountains, the better.
The traffic on the 10 or the 60 is brutal and makes the 15 look like a picnic.Can’t stress enough, probably many others will agree. Rent there first. Best way to find out about the area.
