Claremont/Uplands

With unparalleled views of the San Francisco Bay and skyline, stately residences and impeccably manicured gardens, the Claremont/Uplands is the pinnacle of upscale living. Nestled in beautifully wooded hills just 12 miles from San Francisco, this historic area is dotted with pretty parks, broad medians filled with redwood trees, hidden pathways and winding walking paths.

Best known for the world-renown Claremont Resort & Spa, a former castle which opened in 1915 as a retreat for wealthy San Franciscans to escape from the fog to the sunny side of the Bay, this area still caters to those seeking the best in life. Two upscale retail shopping areas cater to local residents with specialty stores like Rick and Ann's, Red Wagon, Bread Garden Bakery, Star Market, Jutta's Flowers, Afikomen Jewish Books, and The Craftsman Home, a store where many of our home buyers go to decorate their new homes with authentic oak and craftsman furniture.

The celebrated homes and mansions of Claremont/Uplands include a range of architectural styles including English cottages, Prairie homes, and shingled cottages. Custom-designed residences are equally as popular, with numerous contemporary dwellings and magnificent Italian and Spanish period revivals to choose from.
