North Laguna Village sits at the northern edge of Laguna Beach, bordered by coves like Crescent Bay and Shaw’s Cove to the west and the protected canyons of Laguna Coast Wilderness Park to the east. Residents love the elevated, small-town feel—quiet streets, ocean breezes, and bluff-top paths—while still being moments from Heisler Park’s lawns, sculpture walks, and tidepools. The community draws year-round homeowners, second-home seekers, and design-forward buyers who value beach access, art culture, and a car-light lifestyle.
Weekends revolve around surf checks at Main Beach, coffee on Forest Avenue, and sunset picnics along the bluffs. With galleries, rooftop lounges, and coastal trails in every direction, North Laguna Village blends relaxed beach living with refined convenience.
Homes & Architecture
Housing spans early artist-colony cottages, mid-century homes, lock-and-leave condos/townhomes, and custom coastal-modern builds. Many properties were originally built between the 1920s and 1970s, with thoughtful renovations over the past decade: reimagined chef kitchens, folding glass walls, view decks, and spa-style baths. Premium appeal centers on ocean views, proximity to swimmable coves, and the prestige of nearby enclaves like Emerald Bay, Irvine Cove, and Smithcliffs.
