Laguna Beach Oceanfront Homes

Woods Cove is a great area located just north of Victoria Beach and continues to the tip of Arch Point.  Here you will find a combination of ocean front and ocean view homes that can be located several blocks back from the ocean.  Many love this area due to the close proximity to the Laguna Village and downtown area of Laguna Beach.

Ocean View homes in Woods Cove currently start at $1,995,000 and go as high as $15,400,000 for an ocean front home on Arch Point.  One of the most interesting homes in this area is the home located at 1715 Ocean Way.  It just came on the market 23 days ago and is located on the ocean front.  What makes this home unusual is that it is built on a rock formation with little rocks that act as stepping stones down to the sandy

The Village area of Laguna Beach stretches from the Woods Cove area and continues to the Main Beach area is by far the most sought after residential area for homes in the one to two million range near the beach.  What makes this area so great is the location and the style of homes that can be found here.  First, the location is within a several block radius to the beach and the many shopping and resturants that line Coast Highway.  The homes in this area date back to the early part of the century with many Spanish and bunglaow style homes built in the 1920's.  Ocean view homes are best found closest to the beach as the topography tends to be rather flat and doesn't afford itself to having big ocean views.

Ocean View homes in this are currently start at

Laguna Beach has a large inventory of older historic homes that were built at the turn of the century.  Many love these older homes for their historic charm and architectural details.  Others seek these homes out for their tax savings if they are covered under the Mills Act.  So what exactly is the Mills act and how does it save a homeowner money?  First, the Mills Act is an National organization that is set out to preserve these historic homes from destruction and modification.  They work with the state and federal government in lowering a homeowners tax base in care of these homes.  Laguna Beach has a lot of older homes but they are all not on the Mills Act.  A resident must submit an application to the Mills Act organziation to get approved before any

Situated in the Thousands Steps beach area in Laguna Beach is a rare offering for homes that are literally built and located on the sandy beach. There is very common to see this is neighboring beach towns like Newport Beach and Dana Point where homes have been built right on the sand. Laguna Beach is a much different topography with homes being built on the cliff side or on the ocean front and rarely on the sand. Thousands Steps Beach is located in the South Laguna area and actually has three homes that are located on the sand.

What makes this really unusual is that these homes are part of another home located at the top of the street known as "Coast Hwy." Since it literally takes 1000 steps to get down to the beach the homes have a cable system that

Camel Point is a quiet residential neighborhood of 15 homes located in a premier oceanfront location.  The community offers 8 homes located on the ocean front with an additional 7 ocean view properties.  This is a small gated community that offers direct access down to the beach as pictured below.  Since the community is home to only 15 properties homes rarely come on the market here.  The neighborhood has a nice mixture of contemporary as well as older historic homes.  An ocean view property is now being offered for sale for $4,595,000.  I had a chance to preview this home and the 5 bedroom home really did offer nice views of the ocean. 

The views are mainly over the rooftops of the properties located on the oceanfront as pictured below.  In addition,

Rockledge Terrace is a small little community located next to Victoria beach and is home to 18 luxury properties.  The neighborhood consists of two streets known as Rockledge Terrace and Rockledge Road.  Rockledge Terraces has one row of houses between it and the beach and offers wonderful ocean views as pictured below.  Rockledge Road offers ocean front homes with only 8 properties located on the front row.  This is a very quiet area and people typically don't go down these streets unless they live in the neighborhood.  The neighborhood offers steps down to the beach that can only be used by residents of the community.  This can be found at the bottom of Rockledge Road.

Home prices in Rockledge Terrace can vary a lot depending if the property is water

The South Laguna Bluffs area is a small pocket of homes in Laguna Beach that are located on the ocean front or just blocks to the beach.  The Mission Hospital in Laguna Beach is situated in the middle of this community that offers a nice mixture of residential homes and condos.  There are several ocean front streets located in the South Laguna Bluffs area that include South Coast Hwy and Circle Drive.  Both of these streets offer ocean front homes that sit high on the bluff as pictured below.

There are also ocean front and ocean view condo buildings located in this area that include the luxury Laguna Lido building.  Condos here normally will be priced in the $2 to $3 million dollar range and offer resort style amenities including a community pool,

Another $50 million dollar plus home has come on the market in the exclusive Irvine Cove community in North Laguna Beach. 2431 Riviera Drive has just hit the market for $55 million dollars and is listed by Hilton & Hyland.  What makes this home unique is the location. Laguna Beach has very few beach front homes that sit directly on the beach and are located in a gated community. 2431 Riviera Dr features 180 feet of water frontage, arguably in one of the best communities in Laguna Beach and is one of only 5 beach front homes in the entire Irvine Cove community.

The home features six bedrooms with 10,000 square feet of living space with vaulted wood beam ceilings, sliding glass doors that open to the pool & spa. Some of the highlights of the home

The Emerald Bay community in Laguna Beach is well known for it's large and beautiful homes that overlook the blue pacific with great ocean and sunset views.  Rarely do we see beach front homes come on the market in the Emerald Bay since the community only has 14 properties that sit directly on the beach.  The rest of the property are either located in the hills looking down at the ocean and sandy beach or located on the majestic cliff with views of Emerald Bay and Irvine Cove.

An amazing and rare home hast just come on the market that offers beach front living in the gated community of Emerald Bay in North Laguna Beach, California.  The property located at 102 Emerald Bay is on the market for sale for a cool $29,995,000 and offers a rare opportunity to

Most buyers let us know they are looking for a deal and it wasn't just last year that most ocean front homes started well above the $5 million dollar price point. There have been several listings that have come on the market at very aggressive prices after being on the market before. Case in point, 32027 Point Place was on the market for $5,2000,00 and then $4,790,000 when the home was taken off the market for the holidays. Now the listing has come back on the market at a very aggressive price of $4,490,000. I love this house for a number of reasons. First, it has a prime location at the end of the oceanfront cul-de-sac street of Point Place. The coastline views of Thousands Steps Beach as pictured below are really amazing and can be seen from multiple
