There is hardly no comparisons to the Laguna Beach market as one the most premier destinations to find luxury contemporary homes.  Of course, throughout Southern California you will find stunning Contemporary homes in the Hollywood Hills area of LA, Contemporary Masterpieces in Malibu and Soft Contemporary Homes in La Jolla.  All of these destinations do not have the deep concentration of contemporary homes that Laguna Beach has.  For example, Laguna Beach has a total of 52 Contemporary homes + 26 Contemporary Modern homes active and pending Contemporary homes on the market.  This is huge number for a such small beach town like Laguna Beach to be actively on the market since you will find hundreds more Contemporary homes that are not actively marketed for
