New Construction Homes For Sale in San Clemente

South Orange County Coastal Community

San Clemente is a South Orange County coastal city where the Talega master-planned community represents the primary new construction activity. Talega continues to deliver new homes in select phases, though overall new construction inventory in San Clemente is limited. The city's coastal character, excellent schools, and strong appeal create a premium pricing environment. San Clemente feeds into Capistrano Unified School District and maintains a distinct California coastal community feel.

I track development activity across the county through my weekly Orange County Housing Report.

New Construction in San Clemente: What Buyers Need to Know

San Clemente's limited new construction inventory means that Talega remains the primary source for new homes. The community's coastal character and desirability support premium pricing. Comparing Talega projects to other South County options like Rancho Mission Viejo and Laguna Niguel helps you evaluate value and find the right community for your preferences.

San Clemente's established neighborhoods outside of Talega are predominantly resale market. The resale market is highly competitive and reflects the city's coastal desirability. New construction through Talega offers an alternative to resale shopping with the advantage of newer construction and builder warranties.

5 Beds ⋅ 5 Baths ⋅ OC26212409 MLS ⋅ Active Status
At 126 Calle Redondel, modern architecture meets the unhurried rhythm of San Clemente, with the beach, shops, and restaurants are minutes away. From the street, stacked stone, clean white planes, and a landscaped lawn make a quiet first impression. Beyond the double-door entry, black fluted wood panels frame a white oak staircase beneath an oversized skylight and clerestory windows. On the main level, corner glass in the dining room slides fully away, opening the space to the Pacific and palm-lined coast. The kitchen centers around a waterfall-edge island with seating for four, warm-stained shaker cabinetry with glass-front uppers, a professional six-burner range with pot filler, double wall ovens, built-in column refrigerator and freezer, and pantry area. A separate bar pairs a wine refrigerator and waterfall counter with a smoked-mirror wall. In the living room, folding glass doors open to an ocean-view entertaining deck. A guest suite has its own bath with a walk-in shower in charcoal onyx-look stone and brushed-gold fixtures. The powder room makes its own statement with dramatically veined stone from floor to ceiling, a round brass mirror, and sculptural lighting. One level down, walls of glass meet at the corner of the primary bedroom and slide away to a covered deck, framing the Pacific by day and city lights after dark. The bath is finished floor to ceiling in onyx-inspired stone with a freestanding soaking tub and walk-in shower, while a bedroom-sized dressing room is lined with custom built-ins. A second bedroom opens through glass sliders to the deck and is served by a bath with a frameless walk-in shower. A laundry room with built-in cabinetry completes the level. The lower floor is a retreat of it's own with a den featuring corner glass that opens to a covered terrace and a glass-enclosed wine room with custom oak racking. A guest bedroom with walk-in closet and full bath adds another private space. Above it all, a private rooftop terrace wrapped in frameless glass takes in the Pacific, coastline, and city at dusk, with room for lounging and outdoor dining. More than 1,200 square feet of ocean-view decks extend across three levels. Set into the hillside on a foundation of 24 engineered caissons, the home is built for permanence as much as for the view. Five bedrooms, including one currently configured as the primary dressing room, five baths, and a three-car garage with epoxy flooring and 240V complete the home.

4 Beds ⋅ 6 Baths ⋅ OC26194734 MLS ⋅ Coming Soon Status
San Clemente was built for life outdoors. 231 W. Avenida San Antonio takes that seriously, starting at the top. A nearly 700-square-foot rooftop deck brings together an outdoor kitchen, built-in grill, bar seating, lounge, and dining beneath a standing seam metal roofline. Below it, this newly built three-level residence — roughly 3,546 square feet, four bedrooms, six baths — is finished by Kaizen Interiors to a level that rewards a slow walkthrough. The main level opens through a covered porch into living and dining spaces. The kitchen anchors the floor around a large waterfall island with bar-top seating: a 48-inch dual-fuel range with eight burners and double convection ovens, panel-ready French door refrigeration, an integrated dishwasher, and separate wine and beverage coolers, all set against Neolith White Sands and Cambria surfaces and a hand-glazed chevron backsplash in warm ochre. A media room with built-in cabinetry sits off the main living space, and a main-level bedroom with full bath lets the house live on one floor when needed. Upstairs, the primary suite unfolds beneath a wood-clad tray ceiling washed in concealed cove lighting, with a linear fireplace facing the bed and sliding doors to a private balcony. The bath continues in large-format stone: a freestanding soaking tub, curbless walk-in shower with linear drain and lit niches, and a double vanity under sconce lighting. Two more bedrooms, one with its own fireplace, share the floor with a den, laundry room, and two additional full baths. The lower level is finished living space, not storage: a media lounge with a full wall of custom cabinetry, a full bath with curbless tiled shower, an egress window, a closet, and direct garage access. Wide-plank European oak runs through the living spaces and bedrooms; baths are tiled in large-format quartzite, antiqued stone, and zellige, with cabinetry in Sherwin Williams Natural Tan and Iron Ore. Behind the finishes: five-zone Fujitsu heat pump HVAC, a heat pump water heater, 400-amp electrical service, rooftop solar, fire sprinklers throughout, whole-home smart-home and automation pre-wiring with included in-ceiling Sonos speakers and a finish/automation package available upon request, third-party HERS verification, and full compliance with 2022 California code: the kind of house that gives an inspector very little to write about. Completion is set for October 2026.
