We Love Laguna Niguel - 11/3/2020
I have lived in Laguna Niguel for over 20 years. After living in many of the surrounding cities, I found Laguna Niguel to be more laid back making it the perfect area to raise my son and to purchase our home. We are just minutes away from local beaches and we get that great ocean breeze! Low Taxes, No Mello Roos, Community Pools, Parks, Hiking Trails -Aliso Wilderness Park, Great Family Owned Restaurants and shops. Surrounded by Mountain and Ocean Views! Laguna Niguel has been a wonderful and safe place to live for Read More

For us, this is a perfect place to live. - 8/30/2020
This is, we think, a wonderful place to live. Friendly people, convenient to shopping, restaurants, beaches, etc. Weather is mild and beautiful. Everything is clean and well maintained. Crime is low. Palm trees and flowers everywhere.

Only downside is high cost of Read More

Happy resident for over 26 years - 8/11/2016
I'd like to update and clarify what others have reported about Laguna Niguel. My wife and I moved to Laguna Niguel in 1990; we had just married and both of us owned other residents [Corona del Mar and Fountain Valley, Ca.]. We wanted to start fresh. We are upper middle class [annual adjusted retirement income $115K to $125K], retired [no debt] and could live almost any where; are goals were to live in a good climate, have a nice house [about 3,000 sq. ft. with a view] in a upper-middle class neighborhood. We wanted to be close to shopping, good restaurants and entertainment. Laguna Niguel has all those things. When we purchased our home in 1990 we paid almost $400,000 and for the past 3 years we had unsolicited offers between $1 million to $1.1 million and it would take more than that to get us to leave our lovely home in Kite Hill, Laguna Niguel. The weather is much better than published nationally. They tie Laguna Niguel to Santa Ana a large semi-slum city about 10 miles Read More

Best Place to Retire - 6/7/2015
I retired three years ago. I can live anywhere. I picked Laguna Niguel. The weather is perfect. The air quality better than most places. The ocean is just blocks away. It feels like a small town, and the people are friendly. The only thing it lacks is a downtown, but the plans are in the works. Then it will be Read More

Watching a City Grow - 8/15/2012
WE moved to Laguna Niguel in 1976, returning to California from a three year assignment in New York City. With 3 young children we were seeking a family friendly community with access to commuting routes to Los Angeles and San Diego. The initial appeal to me was the seaside developments along the coastal hills, which reminded my of the communities of southern France.

I watched my kids grow up enjoying the amenities of the area. The beautiful beaches and desert and mountain destinations close by. I'd recommend the community to anyone looking for the best in California lifestyle. Often we've commented that living here is like being on vacation twelve months a year. Now I'm proud that our kids and grand kids are living close by and enjoying this beautiful Read More
