Overview

About Laguna Hills

Laguna Hills is a small town in the rolling hills of Southern California with a population of 30,000. Although it is the smallest city in Orange County, Laguna Beach has an abundance of parks and trails. The most notable outdoor attraction of Laguna Hills is the “Laguna Green Belt,” a massive open space of 20,000 acres. It is also home to the Laguna Coast Wilderness Park, a coastal wilderness preserve of 7,000 acres where you can find hiking trails, mountain biking, and horseback riding. Here, you can glimpse the city’s ecological past as it has some of the last remaining coastal canyons in Southern California.

Laguna Hills residents also enjoy its proximity to the pristine beaches of Laguna Beach, as well as the nearby cities of Mission Viejo and Irvine Spectrum, a huge shopping and entertainment hubs. Being so close to major highways and business centers of Orange County, Laguna Hills is a convenient place to live, especially if you plan to work in the greater metropolitan area but prefer a suburban lifestyle. Community life in Laguna Hills is vibrant and inclusive. In the summer, you can find free outdoor concerts for all ages, Independence Day festivities, and a half marathon that attracts runners from all over California.
