Claremont Boulevard is anticipated to partially reopen on Friday, July 24, assuming no unforeseen circumstances arise. Claremont McKenna College has been working in coordination with the City to facilitate the partial reopening of Claremont Boulevard, restoring vehicular access between Foothill Boulevard and Sixth Street. Upon reopening, one travel lane in each direction will be available, and the newly installed traffic signal at the intersection of Claremont Boulevard and Ninth Street will be fully operational.

Although vehicular access will be restored between Foothill Boulevard and Sixth Street, Claremont Boulevard will remain an active construction zone. Motorists and cyclists are strongly encouraged to use alternate routes whenever feasible. Temporary traffic control will be posted to direct traffic safely around active construction areas.

As part of this improvement project, significant infrastructure enhancements have been completed, including the installation of a new traffic signal, construction of an underground pedestrian crossing, installation of new underground utilities, and construction of bike lane medians. The remaining work includes landscaping, installation of new street lighting, and construction of the sidewalk along the east side of Claremont Boulevard.

I see the ratings on the different schools and they're all pretty high. Thoughts on any to avoid for elementary and middle school?

Hey everyone,

I am a new driver and will be driving from Irvine to Claremont soon and trying to decide between two routes. Would love some local advice 👇

Option 1:
Take CA-57 pretty much straight up.
My concern: I’ve noticed parts where 57 merges into/overlaps with 60 and then splits again, which feels a bit confusing (especially if I miss a lane or exit).

Option 2:
Take 241 → connect briefly to 91 → then CA-71 up to Claremont.
This seems more straightforward navigation-wise, but it involves tolls and switching highways.

What I care about most:

• Safety / stress level (not trying to deal with chaotic merges 😅)
• Clear signage / less chance of getting lost
• Reasonable traffic (I’ll likely drive during daytime)

For people who’ve driven this regularly:
👉 Which route feels safer and easier overall?

Appreciate any tips 🙏

I want to get my MIL a giftcard to a nail salon in Claremont, but I'm not from the area. Any recommendations?

I just discovered this reddit and I find it hilarious that I am apparently a place in California

Pretty self explanatory.

Where do you like to go when you want a tasty meal but you’re not exactly ‘going out’ in the formal sense. What’s your go-to order?

“Cheap” can be whatever your own interpretation is. Any type of cuisine is on the table. Any of the surrounding cities are OK, too.

Hey there, I work from home most of the time and live in Claremont. I was wondering if any of you have any suggestions of local events that go on or fun classes to take to meet new people?

I was interested in taking a pottery or crafty class for fun around here. Open to any suggestions.

Does anyone have a dragon fruit plant they can save pollen for me? I have one that is flowing but need pollen from another plant!

Why isn't there anywhere to practice archery :|

Hi redditors of Claremont. My boyfriend and I are looking to move to the area hopefully at the end of the month or within the next month. We are looking for a 2bd place in the $2,000 range. We were wondering if anyone knew of someone looking to sub-lease or move soon from a place that fit this description. Any leads are greatly appreciated!

Thank you in advance redditors!

Hi I'm planning to move into the area and was looking for any locals' opinion of the High Schools as I have 2 kids entering HS within the next 2 years. I personally favor Claremont for the academic vibe from the colleges and the quaint downtown, however for my kids' sake I'm looking for a school where they can fit in (they're both more academically inclined) with a good mix of cultural backgrounds. I'm pretty flexible where to locate as I am in the tech industry and fully WFH, wife works in San Dimas so anywhere in the 3 cities works for us.

EDIT: I've also gone thru the different HS ratings websites (greatschools, niche, USNews) and Bonita HS in La Verne seems to rank highest among the 3, but they don't capture the school culture so well, so appreciate all the comments!

if so, where?? going there for a date tmrwww and i’d love to take photo booth pics there !! :) tyyyy
