The environment is really welcoming. Local food places are good and more than once I've found myself recommending them to people. People are well-mannered, warm and clean; you can always see the neighborhood is clean and looking nice.
Clairemont Mesa is a tight-knit community with multitudinous opportunities for employment, education, international cuisine, and entertainment. I have lived here my entire life, and one of the biggest positives for me right now is being within walking distance of one of the highest-rated community colleges in the nation, San Diego Mesa College.
