Inland from golf course, beaches and valley views

Just inland from Pacific blue waters and sandy beaches, Niguel Coast is a sunny subdivision in Laguna Niguel - a suburban city south of Los Angeles. Minutes from surfing coves, shopping areas and a prestigious golf course, Niguel Coast is a haven in Southern California. “You get the weather, nice views and the ocean breeze,” says Mike Pahua, an area local and Broker Associate at Zutila Real Estate. “Some houses have valley views near the golf course, and the schools are very good.”

Mediterranean homes removed from the waterfront

Palm trees, ferns and bushes line the hilly streets of Niguel Coast, slightly removed from the waterfront. This neighborhood features traditional and Mediterranean architecture from the 1980s. Most homes in this subdivision have an HOA association with monthly fees. Prices range from $1.4 million to $2 million. Prices are higher for ocean views on properties nearing 2,500 square feet. Additionally, multifamily options like condos and townhouses cost $850,000 to $1.1 million. “Retired buyers are getting priced out of Irvine and downsizing to single-level homes in this area,” Pahua says. “You can get a starter house with no Mello-Roos tax, and it’s more affordable.”
