Upscale Orange County living
Laguna Hills is a suburban city tucked away in the rolling terrain of Orange County, just east of Laguna Beach and Laguna Canyon. Its natural scenery, hillside vistas and upscale homes have made it a sought-after spot for its 30,000 residents. “It feels like an exclusive area,” says Martha Haecherl, Realtor at Keller Williams Realty and longtime resident. “Your dollar goes further here than in other cities around. It’s a beautiful area.” While it’s primarily residential, there are also plenty of community parks, shopping and dining. Interstate 5 runs along the city's edge, tying it into the Gordian Knot that is the L.A. highway system.

Local shopping and dining
Most retail is concentrated around I-5 including a diverse dining scene. Haecherl recommends Balvina’s, Franco’s Famous and Heidelberg Bakery, but says there are many good options. Laguna Hills Mall, right off the interstate, closed a number of years ago and is currently being redeveloped into a mix of office space, residential units and 250,000 square feet of retail, restaurants and entertainment venues. More shopping options can be found in Laguna Niguel or other nearby cities.

Million-dollar homes in the hills
“You can get a large home with a great layout,” says Haecherl. “These are homes you can grow into. A lot of homes were custom builds, so nothing is cookie cutter.” Haecherl says that the city is one of the more expensive Orange County communities. Single-family homes sell for a median of $1.6 million. Homes are spacious and include sought-after amenities like pools and large lots. Throughout the city, homeowners glimpse rolling hills and views of the ocean. Some neighborhoods, like Nellie Gail , are known for the equestrian stables and trails.

Los Angeles is farther north, 50 miles away via the highway, San Diego is 75 miles south. The closest airport is John Wayne Airport, 13 miles away. The city is served by the Orange County Transportation Authority via several bus lines.

Laguna Hills has below-average crime rates. There were 58 violent crimes reported in the city in 2022, putting it about 68% lower than the national average, according to FBI statistics. There were also 420 property crimes reported in 2022, a near-historic low for the city. Like much of the region wildfires are a reality for Laguna Hills and Orange County says the city is at a moderate risk.
Events in Laguna Hills
“It’s a small city with a great sense of community,” says Haecherl. “We’ve got a lot of great events people seem to enjoy.” The city offers an array of community events, like concerts and movies in the park. Seasonal celebrations bring residents together to watch Fourth of July fireworks or the annual Christmas tree lighting. Early each autumn, Heritage Day welcomes autumn with a fair, vendors and live entertainment.
