Laguna Heights offers residents a little bit of everything
Located in east-central Laguna Niguel, the Laguna Heights neighborhood is characterized by modern master-planned communities, high-quality public schools, and easy access to shops, restaurants and parks. “There really aren’t many drawbacks to living here,” says Heights resident Candice Blair, a broker with Coldwell Banker who has worked in the area for over 20 years. “It’s a little further from the beach than some other neighborhoods, but that means we don’t get fog during June Gloom. We still get the sea breeze, though.”
Laguna Heights residents enjoy visiting nearby farmers markets, where they can find fresh, locally grown produce, artisanal goods, and a lively community atmosphere.
