Why Live in Top of the World

Nowhere in Laguna Beach has better views than Top of the World. The neighborhood sits atop the town, looking over downtown and the Pacific Ocean to the west and all the way east to the Santa Ana Mountains. However, extensive sightlines are just one of the reasons it has become a highly desired community. "Top of the World used to be a 'this is all I can afford in Laguna' neighborhood, but now it's in super high demand. When people find a three-bedroom that doesn't need any work, they take it," says Kristine Flynn, a Laguna Beach Realtor who's lived in Top of the World since 2011. It's become so sought after because of its almost suburban setting. "This is the only normal neighborhood in Laguna Beach for people who want that community-focused, family lifestyle with nice tract homes, amazing schools and park space," says Flynn. It's 3 miles up the hill from The Village — Laguna's downtown — which makes it feel separated from the rest of the city. "When everything is busy in The Village, you can drive up here and escape," says Flynn. Today's Top of the World residents can thank the city of Laguna Beach for the community's small size and scenic natural surroundings. "In the 1960s,
