What Kind of Homes Are in The Village, Claremont?

The Village is one of the oldest residential areas in the Inland Empire. The median year built across 620 closed sales is 1941. Nearly half the housing stock predates 1940, and another 282 homes were built between 1940 and 1959. Only 34 homes were built after 1960. The result is a neighborhood where Craftsman bungalows from the early 1900s sit alongside mid-century ranch homes, Spanish Colonial Revival properties, and Tudor-style two-stories, often on the same block.
 
Most homes in The Village are single-family. A small number of multi-family and attached properties exist within the area. The median home size across closed sales is 1,975 square feet, with the middle range of the market running from approximately 1,500 to 2,500 square feet. A small number of larger estates on College Avenue and Harvard Avenue exceed 4,000 square feet.
Most lots fall between 7,000 and 10,400 square feet. The median lot is 8,571 square feet and the mean is 8,809 square feet. Larger parcels on College Avenue, Harvard Avenue, and portions of 7th and 8th Streets reach well above 15,000 square feet. A small number of attached and multi-family properties sit below 5,000 square feet.
 
Properties in original or lightly updated condition regularly close in the $900K to $1.1M range. Fully renovated or architecturally significant homes have closed above $1.9M.

Why Clients Return


The metric that matters most in a market this active is not transaction count. It is whether clients come back.


At 460 University Avenue, Laura represented the buyer in 2017 at $875,000. In 2019, she represented both the buyer and the seller at $939,000. In March 2026, she listed and sold it again at $1,415,000. Three transactions at the same address across nine years.


At 727 College Avenue, Laura represented the buyer in September 2020 at $1,320,000. When the same client was ready to sell four years later, they called Laura. That listing closed in August 2024 at $1,910,000, a $590,000 gain for her client and the 6th-highest individual sale in The Village from 2024 through 2026.


Part of what makes that loyalty possible is what Laura brings beyond the transaction itself. She maintains a vetted network of professionals who can handle every element of a move: movers, painters, flooring specialists, handyman services, and general contractors. For buyers purchasing a Village home built in the 1930s or 1940s, that network is not a convenience. It is a resource that most agents cannot offer.


Her negotiating record speaks through the outcomes above. The $590,000 gain at 727 College Avenue did not happen by accident. It came from knowing when to list, how to position, and how to close against competition.


What sits beneath all of it is a philosophy Laura has operated by for over two decades. Real estate is life happening. People buy and sell homes because circumstances change, priorities shift, and lives move forward. Laura treats every transaction as exactly that, a human experience, not a file to close. The clients who come back are the ones who felt that difference.
