Bay Cliff Village is a senior housing community in San Clemente for residents aged 55 and older, and it sits at 202 Monte Vista, where you'll find 28 condominiums built between 1962 and 1963, each with a single-level floor plan-some have one bedroom and one bath with about 1,016 square feet, while others have two bedrooms and two baths at 1,266 square feet. Homes in Bay Cliff Village come with features like air conditioning, newer double-pane windows with plantation shutters, high ceilings, inside laundry setups with full-size washers and dryers, and updated laminate flooring throughout, plus upgraded kitchens that have granite counters, stainless-steel appliances, custom cabinets with self-closing drawers, and built-in dishwashers, electric cooktops, and refrigerators, all surrounded by lush low-maintenance landscaping and a new fence in the backyards, with some homes having fireplaces and concrete slab patios or French doors out to private garden spaces.
Bathrooms here have gotten careful attention in their updates, using fine materials, and primary baths come with new vanities and easy-access, floor-to-ceiling showers, while primary bedrooms have large sunny windows. Residents have detached private garages with storage, epoxy floors, and extra parking spaces. Every unit has access to cable TV, high-speed internet, kitchenettes, private bathrooms, and the option for fully furnished rooms.
The community focuses on providing support and care, including independent living with help for daily tasks, medication management, meals, and personal care, along with higher levels of support like assisted living, memory care for those with dementia or Alzheimer's, and skilled nursing with round-the-clock medical support, all watched over by a 24-hour call system and supervision. They also offer respite care for short-term needs and have non-ambulatory care, as well as help with bathing, dressing, and transfers.
Bay Cliff Village has sidewalks, walking paths, mature landscaping, common gardens, and a clubhouse with community rooms, a library, game and arts rooms, a movie area and small theater, a wellness room, and outdoor common spots, plus seating areas that let you look out over the ocean from atop the bluff. There's scheduled daily activities, fitness programs, outdoor programs, and both community-sponsored and family support services, along with regular housekeeping, laundry and dry-cleaning, move-in help, and concierge services.
The complex runs as a nonprofit mutual benefit corporation and has a filing status of "Good" with state agencies. It's been officially listed with the California Secretary of State since 2009, and its governing board-Janet Dunham as Secretary, Kim Lawrence as CEO, Lincoln Marini as CFO-operates from San Clemente. The homeowners' association covers trash service, water, sewer, and helps maintain the common grounds for everyone living there, and you'll see that many residences are attached townhomes, although there are a few single-family detached homes around the property as well. It's a smaller, established oceanside community where most things run quietly and people can keep their independence, with support as needed.
