About Terraces Laguna Beach

Neighborhood Overview

Terraces Laguna Beach lives up to its name — a series of tiered streets stepping up the hillside above South Laguna, each level revealing broader coastal panoramas than the last. The neighborhood is defined by its custom homes, mature vegetation, and an atmosphere of privacy and elevation that feels distinctly removed from the tourist activity below, while remaining only minutes from the beach by car.

Properties here vary widely — from mid-century ranch homes updated with modern finishes to newer custom builds designed to maximize the spectacular views. The higher elevations command views stretching from Dana Point in the south to the Palos Verdes Peninsula on clear days, with Catalina Island as a constant presence on the horizon. Prices range from just over $1.2 million for entry-level homes to well over $4.5 million for premier view properties.

Did You Know

Terraces Laguna Beach Insider Facts

The Terraces area of Laguna Beach was named for the natural and man-made terracing of the hillside, which was shaped by both geological forces and mid-20th century grading. Several homes in this neighborhood were built in the 1960s and 1970s by artists and architects attracted to the dramatic topography and views — giving the area a richer architectural history than its relatively modest name might suggest.
