Clearlake, CA Home for Rent

Named for its location along Northern California’s Clear Lake, the rural city of Clearlake is far removed from the bustle of the Bay Area and Sacramento. Re/Max Gold Realtor and Clearlake's Recreation & Events Coordinator Tina Viramontes says, “It’s an up and growing community. There’s a gated community right outside Clearlake, and we’re starting to get newer, bigger businesses. People are coming out here to get away from the Bay Area.” This community of nearly 17,000 residents has a smalltown feel due to its small selection of local businesses, its quiet atmosphere and its abundance of nature. Though its limited career opportunities, crime rate and seasonally extreme weather may be deterrents to some, this city offers lower-than-average housing prices, an escape from big-city traffic and noise and plenty of opportunities for outdoor recreation. Clearlake’s housing stock is a diverse assortment of prewar construction and 2000s builds, manufactured and site-built homes and lakeside and inland properties. Manufactured homes, which vary from 1960s-built fixer-uppers to 2000s-built properties with larger lot sizes, tend to sell for between $20,000 and $395,000. Site-built residences
