Neighborhood Overview
The Village is the historic core of Laguna Beach — the area that grew up around the original settlement in the early 1900s and still functions as the city's commercial, cultural, and social center. Residential properties here sit among galleries, restaurants, studios, and shops in a genuinely mixed-use urban fabric. The Laguna Beach Museum of Art — one of California's oldest public art museums — the Festival of Arts grounds, and the Sawdust Art Festival grounds are all within walking distance.
The residential mix ranges from historic artists' cottages dating to the early 20th century to contemporary hillside residences with ocean views. Prices span from $1.5 million for a modest village cottage to $15 million and beyond for a dramatic hillside position above the galleries. The Village's defining quality is its authenticity — this is where Laguna Beach's identity as an arts community was born and where it is most vividly alive today. Three beaches are within comfortable walking distance: Main Beach, Las Brisas Cove, and Rockpile Beach.
