Overview
About Laguna Beach
Laguna Beach, known for its breathtaking coastal scenery, rich history, and vibrant cultural scene, is one of Orange County’s most affluent and beautiful seaside communities. With over 20 beaches and coves, it is a paradise for surfers, swimmers, and everyone who enjoys spending time in the sun. If you prefer a hike with an ocean view, the Laguna Coast Wilderness Park offers some tough terrain.
Laguna Beach also has a great artistic history that dates back to the 20th century. Even today, it celebrates its artistic past with a range of art galleries and museums like the Laguna Art Museum, festivals, and community events like the yearly Pageant of Masters. If you want to learn about the city’s past, you can visit the Murphy-Smith Historical Bungalow and Heisler Park. The food in Laguna Beach is also incredible. You can find anything from upscale to casual beachfront restaurants in the downtown area and along the coast.
Although Laguna Beach attracts many tourists and visitors, its residents can still lead a laid-back lifestyle. The city makes considerable efforts into environmental conservation and community involvement, such as the Laguna Beach Music Festival and the Sawdust Art Festival.
Why owning rental property in Laguna Beach is a good investment
Every part of Laguna Beach offers a unique atmosphere. The boundaries of Laguna Beach are distinctive in that they are mostly along the coast. However, a good portion of the population resides on the mountain in an environment that is a little more remote. In between the mountainside and the beach, you can find quant cottages where more opulent bohemian real estate is waiting to be discovered. Due of Laguna Beach’s proximity to San Diego and Los Angeles, it is a prime location for those seeking a serene coastal lifestyle while still having easy access to the larger metropolitan areas of Orange County.
Real estate in Laguna Beach is known to value over time because of the area’s natural beauty and scarcity of land. Considering its standing as Orange County’s top beach getaway, Laguna Beach consistently sees a demand for rental homes, especially since the area’s moderate Mediterranean environment draws tourists all year long.
How much does Laguna Beach property management cost?
Every Laguna Beach property manager has their own unique fee structure, which can vary significantly from other Laguna Beach property management companies. At Good Life Property Management, we offer house, condo, and/or 2-4 units property management for an 8% monthly management fee. Alternatively, we provide multi-family (5-15 units) property management for a 6% monthly management fee. In addition to monthly management fees, we charge a $595 leasing fee, a $150 annual inspection fee, and a $195 lease renewal fee.
