Many homes in Mandalay have rolling hill and canyon views, and some are afforded coastal and city views.  The neighborhood is close to the future La Pata/Vista Hermosa Park & Aquatics Center.

Mandalay enjoys one of the most convenient locations in Rancho San Clemente.  The development is not tucked high in the hills like the majority of Rancho San Clemente real estate, so while the views may not be as panoramic, Mandalay still maintains a great sense of privacy due to being a gated community.  Location is the main selling point of Mandalay; the development is close to two major freeway access streets (Avenida Pico and Avenida Vista Hermosa), and the homes are right around the corner from the new Target shopping center and La Pata/Vista Hermosa Sports Park.  The homes are a bit on the smaller side but offer single-level options that are sometimes difficult to find in Rancho San Clemente.  The home pricing and HOA dues are some of the lowest in Rancho San Clemente, making these homes an affordable option with a variety of benefits.
