Neighborhood Overview
Temple Hills is the largest and most diverse of Laguna Beach's hillside neighborhoods, spreading across a broad section of the coastal hills above the village. Homes range from modest mid-century bungalows to spectacular ocean-view estates on lots of 15,000–25,000 square feet. Key streets include Temple Hills Drive, Terrace Way, and San Remo Drive, all winding upward through a landscape of mature trees, hedged estates, and natural hillside vegetation. Temple Hills Drive is beloved by residents for the increasingly dramatic views at each switchback climbing from the village.
The architectural range is remarkable — Contemporary, Mediterranean, Craftsman, Spanish Revival, and everything in between — reflecting the community's long development history. The elevation delivers panoramic views of the Pacific, the city, the canyons, and on clear days, Catalina Island and the Channel Islands. Proximity to both the Top of the World trail system and the village makes Temple Hills one of the most complete lifestyle communities in Laguna Beach, with the median sale price around $3.3 million.
