Claremont Ranked #5 as "Best Places to Live" in 2007 by Money Magazine

For the year 2007, Money Magazine focused on smaller cities when determining which are the top 10 "Best Places to Live" in the United States. This year, the focus was on neighborhoods that offered the best combination of economic opportunity, good schools, safe streets, things to do within the city, and a real sense of community when living there. With a population of 35,900 residents, a median home price of $643,549 (according to the 2006 survey), and a tight-knit community with topnotch schools, Claremont, California ranked in at #5. According to Money Magazine, Claremont is known as the City of Trees and Ph.D.s. This city has won the National Arbor Day Foundation's Tree City USA award for 19 straight years, and Pomona is part of a prestigious consortium known as the Claremont Colleges. The downtown area is a mixture of hip boutiques and old-school businesses. And the historic College Heights Lemon Packing House is now home to the Claremont Art Museum, restaurants, a jazz bar and artists' lofts. Relative to much of California, it is still affordable. So, if you are interested in purchasing a home in one of America's top cities to live in, or in any of the nearby communities, please contact us!
