Where Art Comes Alive: The Pageant of the Masters and the Sawdust Art Festival

Every summer, Laguna Canyon becomes the center of the Southern California art world. A quiet stretch of road just above the coast fills with music, handmade work, and one of the most inventive stage productions in the country. Two events anchor the season, and together they capture what makes Laguna Beach unlike anywhere else on the coast.

Where the canyon meets the coast, art is not something you watch from a distance. It is something you walk through. The Pageant of the Masters

Now in its 93rd year, the Pageant of the…

Two Laguna Beach Listings Worth a Closer Look: On the Sand and Above the Village

What luxury homes are for sale in Laguna Beach right now? The Aaronson Group represents two distinct Laguna Beach listings: 1585 S. Coast Hwy #47, a remodeled oceanfront condo on the sand at $3,495,000, and 2155 Temple Hills Drive, a view estate with approved plans to build at $6,500,000.

Laguna Beach rarely offers two properties this different at the same time. One sits directly on the sand inside a private gated community in the heart of the village. The other crowns one of the city’s most coveted hillsides, paired with Design Review Board approved…

Laguna Beach Luxury Market Forecast: Where Are Prices Heading?

Where are Laguna Beach luxury home prices heading in 2026? Laguna Beach is in a slight seller’s market with a median list price of $5,495,000, 140 active listings, and upward pricing pressure as sales continue to outpace supply.

If you own a home in Laguna Beach, the question right now isn’t whether the market is moving. It is. The question is which direction, how fast, and what that means for your decision to list, hold, or buy.

As of this week, the Altos Research Market Action Index for Laguna Beach sits at 30, up from 29 last month. That keeps the city in slight…

Is Emerald Bay Worth the Premium? A Deep Dive for Luxury Homebuyers

Is Emerald Bay Worth the Premium? A Deep Dive for Luxury Homebuyers

Is the Emerald Bay premium worth it? Yes, for buyers who value private-beach access, 24/7 guard-gated security, and one of the most supply-constrained enclaves in Laguna Beach. The premium is real, but so is the scarcity behind it.

Few zip codes in coastal Orange County draw a harder line between “close to the ocean” and “inside the gate.” Emerald Bay, the 500-home guard-gated community on the north end of Laguna Beach, sits firmly on the inside. Buyers comparing it to Three Arch Bay, Irvine Cove, or even Monarch Beach almost always arrive at the same…

Modern vs. Contemporary vs. Coastal Luxury Homes in Laguna Beach — What’s the Difference?

What is the difference between modern, contemporary, and coastal luxury homes in Laguna Beach? Modern homes follow a specific 1920s–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 North Laguna. One is a 2021 new-build…

Why 1585 S. Coast Highway #47 Doesn't Belong in the Same Category as Other $3.5M Laguna Listings

Why 1585 S. Coast Highway #47 Doesn’t Belong in the Same Category as Other $3.5M Laguna Listings

If you’ve been shopping the Laguna Beach market in the $3M to $4M range, you already know what most of that inventory looks like: hillside homes with ocean views, condos a few blocks from the sand, or older properties needing meaningful work to reach turnkey condition. Beautiful homes, but a fundamentally different category from what 1585 S. Coast Highway #47 actually is.

This residence is something the Laguna Beach market produces very rarely: a fully remodeled, sand-level, direct oceanfront condominium inside a gated community that just completed…

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…
