Build the House Your Family Never Outgrows

2155 Temple Hills Drive, Laguna Beach, CA 92651

Most Laguna Beach buyers eventually run into the same wall. They find a location they love, then discover the house on it cannot grow with them. The lot is too tight, the topography is unforgiving, or the approval process for anything meaningful stretches out for years.

2155 Temple Hills Drive removes that wall. The property offers a functional 3 bedroom, 4.5 bathroom residence of approximately 4,800 square feet today, along with Design Review Board approved plans for an entirely new home of approximately 7,500 square feet. The heavy lift, design,…

Modern vs. Contemporary vs. Coastal Luxury Homes in Laguna Beach

What is the difference between modern, contemporary, and coastal luxury homes in Laguna Beach? Modern homes follow a specific 1920s to 1970s architectural movement (flat roofs, glass walls, geometric forms). Contemporary homes reflect current design trends. Coastal homes prioritize beach lifestyle materials, lighter palettes, and indoor-outdoor flow.

Three buyers walk three Laguna Beach listings in the same week. All three properties get described as “modern.” One is a 1968 Mid-Century post-and-beam in…

Oceanfront Modern Living at Laguna Sands

Modern Oceanfront · Laguna Beach

Sand-Level Modern Living at Laguna Sands

The most interesting properties in Laguna Beach right now aren't the ones with the biggest square footage. They're the ones where every surface was chosen with intention, every line drawn with purpose, and the architecture itself frames the ocean rather than competing with it.

1585 S. Coast Highway #47 belongs to that category. Inside Laguna Sands, a gated oceanfront community recently transformed by a multi-million-dollar renovation, this 2-bedroom residence has been completely remodeled to deliver a contemporary,…

Buyer Strategy — Laguna Beach

The Best Neighborhoods in Laguna Beach for Luxury Buyers (Emerald Bay to Three Arch Bay)

Where do luxury buyers find the best homes in Laguna Beach? The top luxury neighborhoods are Emerald Bay, Irvine Cove, Three Arch Bay, Lagunita, and Mystic Hills / Top of the World, each offering a distinct mix of privacy, ocean views, and coastal access.

If you already live in coastal Orange County and you’re looking to move up into a true Laguna Beach trophy property, the neighborhood you choose matters as much as the home itself. A house in Emerald Bay lives nothing like a home in Mystic Hills, even if the price tags are similar. The lifestyle,…

What is the Laguna Beach Real Estate Market Doing in Spring 2026?

What is the Laguna Beach real estate market doing in spring 2026?

The Laguna Beach market is active but bifurcated: the active median list price sits near $4.65M while the sold median is closer to $3.27M — a $1.38M gap reshaping how buyers and sellers negotiate in every neighborhood from Emerald Bay to the Village.

If you've been watching Laguna Beach real estate closely, you already know this market doesn't follow a single narrative. Emerald Bay and Irvine Cove are transacting in the eight figures. Laguna Village cottages are quietly gaining traction in the $2–3M range. And sellers who misjudged their list price are quietly taking discounts they didn't anticipate. That's the story of spring 2026.
