About North Laguna

North Laguna runs from the north edge of downtown toward Emerald Bay, along the bluffs and hillsides above some of Laguna's best-known coves: Crescent Bay, Shaw's Cove, Diver's Cove and the beaches below Heisler Park. It is one of the most established parts of town, with ocean views from many streets.

Housing Stock

Homes range from original cottages and mid-century houses to contemporary custom rebuilds, on lots that climb from Cliff Drive and Coast Highway into the hills. Oceanfront and bluff-top homes set the top of the market, and view, cove access and the size of a buildable lot do more to set price than square footage.

Lifestyle & Amenities

The coves are the draw: Crescent Bay, Shaw's Cove and Diver's Cove are favorites for swimming, snorkeling and diving, and Heisler Park's bluff-top walk connects to downtown. Restaurants and shops in the Village are a short walk or drive. North Laguna is in the Laguna Beach Unified School District.

Neighborhoods & Enclaves

Cliff Drive and the Bluffs

Oceanfront and bluff-top homes above the coves, the top of the market.

Crescent Bay

Streets around Crescent Bay at the north end, with cove access.

North Laguna Hillsides

Hillside streets above Coast Highway with ocean views.

What Sets the Market Apart

  • Cove access and an unobstructed ocean view set the top of the market.
  • Buildable area on steep or bluff-top lots matters as much as total lot size.
  • Coastal Commission and city design review apply to most rebuilds and major remodels.
