In a list of best places to live in California, San Juan Capistrano ranks high, principally for three criteria: low unemployment rate, high quality of life, and low crime rate. The city’s high median home price is one of the contributing factors to its ranking for quality of life as an indicator of desirability, and its crime rate is 1,446 per 100,000 people.
You’ve probably heard about the swallows returning to Capistrano. Their annual migration is from March to October, and the 1940 hit song “When the Swallows Come Back to Capistrano,” written by Leon René, is a love song centering on these annual events. Unfortunately, while the swallows don’t actually return to Capistrano anymore, choosing the Chino hills instead—Mission San Juan Capistrano officials state it is because the mission is no longer the tallest building in the area and has thus stopped attracting the swallows for nesting—but that doesn’t mean that you can’t.
And once you’ve arrived, we’re sure you, too, will want to build a nest in this beautiful city. The climate is perfect: it’s in a valley next to the ocean, with hillsides that burst into flower every spring. And the area is vibrant with history: as one of the city’s websites notes, “You feel the same adobe, old brick, and dust beneath your feet that the previous generations of Native American Indians, Spanish, Rancheros, European settlers, outlaws and even pirates walked upon more than 200 years ago”
