This has been a record year for real estate sales in Laguna Beach.  We have seen some incredible homes sell at amazing prices and some of the most premium properties coming on the market for sale.  By far the most exciting part of the year was seeing the iconic Twin Points home come on the market for sale.  Twin Points is a rare property that sits on a huge ocean front parcel of land that splits into two points, hence the name "Twin Points."  The land can be seen from many coastline spots and we never thought we would see this iconic property come on the market this year.

Twin Points is located at 1101 Marine Drive in Laguna Beach.  The home sold for $45,000,000 and closed escrow on 02/02/2016.  It was originally listed at $75,000,000 and was on the

The North Laguna area of Laguna Beach has many ocean front homes and neighborhoods to choose from. North Laguna has traditionally been a bid draw for residents who live here due to the large upscale homes that reside along the coastline. Some of the largest and most expensive neighborhoods are also located here which include Smithcliffs, Irvine Cove and Emerald Bay. When looking for an ocean front property it’s important to keep these things in mind.

First, do you want to live in a gated community? This is one of the first questions we ask clients when they start their real estate search in Laguna.

Lower Three Arch Bay has really seen a surge in real estate prices as record sales have hit this summer.  Within the last month a $10 million dollar home sold located at 11 La Senda and was only on the market for 10 days.  This was an oceanfront home that was built in 1932 and has gone through renovations in the past and featured 4,000 square feet with four bedrooms located on a 12,197 square foot lot.  It was only on the market for one day and sold due to it's prime location in Lower Three Arch Bay.  Earlier this year another oceanfront home was sold for a record price of $8,500,000 to celebrity Lauren Conrad from the MTV reality show "Laguna Beach."

Laguna Beach is one of the few beach cities where you will find a large number of historic ocean front homes for sale.  One of the reasons was that homes date back to the early 1900's as Laguna Beach was considered one of the most desirable 2nd home locations from those who lived in the Los Angeles area.  Many of these older homes still exist and mainly can be found in the South Laguna and Laguna Village areas.  Oceanfront homes in Laguna normally will start above the $5 million dollar price point with current historic ocean front homes starting at $5,950,000.  The size of these homes can really vary with some properties being under 2,800 square feet of living space while others will be much larger and incorporate a guest house with an average 5,000

Smithcliffs ocean front homes rarely come on the market in Laguna Beach due to the small nature of the community.  A total of 6 properties occupy the bluff front area with a total 21 homes located in the gated community called "Smithcliffs."  The neighborhood is very discrete and situated just south of Emerald Bay, one of the most publiziced ocean front communities in Laguna Beach.  As you can image when these prized properties come on the market they do command a premium in price.

Shaw's Cove is a popular beach in the North Laguna Beach area. To find Shaw's Cove you will want to head towards Cliff Drive that runs parallel with the ocean. As you head north from Heisler Park you will reach Fairview Street and Marine Drive. This is the entry location to Shaw's Cove with about 100 steps down to the sandy beach from street level. Homes in this area of North Laguna are probably the most expensive you will find that are not located in a gated community. Marine Drive for example is one of the best places to find ocean front homes that have wonderful views of the Laguna Beach coastline as pictured below.

There is a nice mixture of residential homes and condos in this area with the large majority of ocean front properties being single
