North Laguna combines coastal luxury and quick freeway access
North Laguna has always been one of Laguna Beach 's most desired neighborhoods. "Other areas are catching up, but North Laguna has always demanded higher prices," says Realtor Meital Taub, founder of Livel Real Estate, who's been one of Laguna Beach's top sellers for over 15 years. The neighborhood's bungalows, beach coves and art galleries are essential elements of the Laguna lifestyle. Still, its location is the reason it remains popular. "It's always been attractive, but people really want to live here now because it's out of the busyness in the Village," Taub says. "You can still walk to the restaurants and shops, but you have the quickest route out of town on the North Coast Highway." The North Coast Highway — California state Route 1 — cuts through the neighborhood and leads north to Newport Beach and Irvine.
Beachy bungalows and oceanfront estates
North Laguna offers a few distinct regions. "Each area offers a different lifestyle," Taub says. "You can be in walkable North Laguna on the Tree Streets, on a property up the hill or on a gated oceanfront street if you want more privacy." The Tree Streets — the aptly named area where the streets are named after types of trees — are popular because they're closest to the Village. Cottages, 1920s bungalows and California Craftsman with coastal gardens sit along the inclining streets, while hilltop Mediterranean-style mansions have ocean views. These range from $3 million to over $11 million. The northwest end of the neighborhood has cottages and bungalows available between $1.5 million and $3 million. It also has contemporary designs and estates on spacious lots for $4 million to $11 million. North Laguna's oceanfront homes are some of the most desired in Southern California, so they're rarely for sale. When on the market, these cottages and palatial gated estates range from $5 million to almost $15 million.
North Laguna offers an idyllic living with quick access to the North Coast Highway.
North Laguna mid-century estates on the hills can reach up to $10 million.

Students go to multiple A-plus-rated Laguna Beach schools
The Laguna Beach Unified School District — rated an A-plus by Niche — is one of the city's biggest draws. Students begin in the neighborhood at A-plus-rated El Morro Elementary. All continue at Thurston Middle, given an A. They finish at Laguna Beach High, which earns another A-plus. Laguna Beach High is known for its stellar academics, but it became world famous in 2004 as the focal point of MTV's "Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County." This hit reality show followed the lifestyles of seniors at Laguna Beach High.

Cliff-lined beaches and hiking with Pacific views
The Pacific Ocean has carved North Laguna's coastline into secluded coves — each sandy bay is separated by rocky cliffs capped with lush vegetation and colorful wildflowers. Fishing isn't allowed, so the water is also teeming with life. Seals bob in the water while seabirds sunbathe on the rocks. Surfing is a way of life here, and popular breaks like Thalia Street Beach are a mile down the North Coast Highway. Laguna Beach is surrounded by natural hills and canyons that seclude it from inland Orange County. Residents can walk to the top of the neighborhood to access miles of hiking trails that provide panoramic views of the ocean in one direction and the mountains in the other.

Sidewalks lead down to restaurants, shops and art galleries on the Coast Highway. Urth Caffé is a neighborhood cornerstone, serving Californian fare on its bungalow patio. Jedidiah Coffee is a chill spot steps from the beach. Laguna Beach's artist colony origins are alive at the Laguna Art Museum, across from Urth, and in galleries along the road. Pavilions, the neighborhood's supermarket, is a few blocks away. Endless Quest Roasters is a curated coffee house next to Pavilions, brewing a rotating lineup of hand-selected beans. For a night out, residents walk less than a mile to the Village, Laguna's center of activity.
