Our current comp data · Rents reviewed quarterly
Clairemont is San Diego’s classic house-rental market: 1950s and 60s ranch homes on wide streets, three-bedroom comps at a median of about $4,300, and steady demand from renters who want a house and a yard ten minutes from the coast. Two-bedrooms comp at $2,750. The latest data shows softening at the top of the band, which makes honest pricing the difference between two weeks and two months on market.
What Clairemont property management involves
Clairemont was the single most active ADU-bonus neighborhood in the city before the recent reform, and the aftermath defines the investor story: parcels with existing multi-unit ADUs are now scarce assets, while the house-plus-ADU combination remains the neighborhood’s best income format. The Balboa Avenue trolley station connects the zip to UCSD and downtown, pulling a commuter tenant Clairemont never used to have. Family tenancies here run long when the house is kept right, and canyon-adjacent lots carry the city’s brush-management obligations, which I calendar for owners.
What owners here ask
What does a Clairemont house rent for?
Current comps: three-bedroom median about $4,300, band $2,950 to $4,950. Renovation level and yard usability set position.
I have a house with an ADU. How does that rent?
As two products on one parcel: the house to a family, the ADU against a $2,100 1BR median. Together they outperform either alone.
Do tenancies really run long here?
Clairemont’s whole appeal is staying put: schools nearby, yards, coast access. Keep the home right and the tenancy keeps itself.
What does a 3 bedroom house rent for in Clairemont?
As of July 2026, the median asking rent for a 3 bedroom house in Clairemont is $4,350, with the middle half of the market between $4,005 and $4,991, based on 12 months of comps. Condition and layout decide where a specific home lands in that range. See the full neighborhood table.
Is a single family rental in Clairemont subject to California’s rent cap?
Usually not. An individually owned single family home or condo is exempt from the state rent cap, currently 8.2 percent for San Diego County, but only when the lease includes the exemption notice required by Civil Code Section 1947.12. Without that written notice, the cap applies. Details in our guide to the single family exemption.
