About North Laguna

Neighborhood Overview

North Laguna is the city's most geographically extensive residential area, encompassing the hillside and canyon communities north of downtown between the PCH and the upper ridgeline. The neighborhood includes areas around Heisler Park — one of the finest coastal parks in California, with dramatic bluffside walking paths, picnic areas, and tide pools — as well as Crescent Bay, one of the most photographed beaches in Laguna Beach. The Laguna Beach arts district borders North Laguna to the south.

The price range is among the widest in the city: $1.5 million for modest inland hillside homes, up to $20 million and beyond for dramatic oceanfront or blufftop properties near Crescent Bay. Heisler Park's blufftop walking paths contain a series of public art installations that change periodically, and Rockpile Beach below the park is home to tide pools rated among the most biodiverse in Orange County. North Laguna is consistently the highest-volume residential market in Laguna Beach.

Did You Know

North Laguna Insider Facts

Heisler Park, which runs along the blufftops of North Laguna, is considered one of the finest examples of mid-20th century California coastal park design — a linear park that maximizes ocean viewing while providing genuine public access to the blufftops that most coastal communities have privatized. The park's Rockpile tide pools are part of the Laguna Beach Marine Protected Area, and their recovery since the MPA designation has been documented in scientific journals as one of the most successful coastal marine recovery stories in Southern California.
