1585 So Coast Hwy #47: A New Price on the Sand in Laguna Beach

Oceanfront homes in the center of Laguna Beach rarely come with a gated entry, a freshly renovated community, and the village within walking distance. Residence #47 at Laguna Sands, 1585 South Coast Highway, brings all three together, and it is now offered at a new price of $3,395,000.

For buyers who looked earlier, or who never saw it, this is the moment for a second look at one of the most walkable oceanfront addresses in Laguna Beach.

On the sand, behind a gate, and a short walk from dinner in the village. The work is done; the lifestyle is ready.

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,…

Represented by The Aaronson Group: One of the Few Places in Laguna Beach You Can Actually Live on the Sand

Laguna Sands

One of the Few Places in Laguna Beach You Can Actually Live on the Sand

Drive South Coast Highway between the Village and Aliso Beach and you pass a long stretch of buildings that face the water. Very few of them sit on it. The bluff does most of the work along this coast, which is why so much of Laguna’s oceanfront housing looks down at the beach from thirty or forty feet up rather than opening onto it.

Laguna Sands is one of the exceptions. The gated community sits directly on the sand next to the Surf & Sand Resort, and residents reach the beach without crossing a road or hunting for a public stairway. That single fact explains most of what makes the…

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…

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…
