About Temple Hills
Temple Hills is a hillside neighborhood above central Laguna Beach, reached by Temple Hills Drive. Many homes look out over the ocean, Catalina Island and the canyons, and the streets climb toward the open space and trails at the top of the hill.
Housing Stock
Mid-century ranch-style homes make up much of the neighborhood, alongside custom two-story homes and rebuilds, on irregular hillside lots with steep driveways. The neighborhood grew over decades, shaped partly by a 1965 specific plan written by residents. View and the usable size of a lot drive price.
Lifestyle & Amenities
Trailheads into Aliso and Wood Canyons Wilderness Park are up the hill, and the Temple Hills Community Association has worked since 1973 to preserve nearby open space. Downtown, the beaches and Coast Highway's shops are a short drive down. Temple Hills is in the Laguna Beach Unified School District.

What Sets the Market Apart
