Laguna Beach is NOT a suburb of Irvine! Laguna was incorporated as a city in 1927. Irvine didn’t come into existence until 1971. Laguna was originally known as an artists colony. Today it is a charming beach community of 23,000 residents that supports the arts through the Pageant of the Masters, Sawdust Festival & it’s many art galleries. It’s residents are very involved in civic affairs and preservation efforts. An oasis in the urban sprawl of So Cal surrounded by miles of protected green belt, Laguna Beach is a great place to live.
Great Community! Overall very safe area, amazing schools. The people who live here are friendly and welcoming.
I love Laguna Beach for its friendly community where the residents are respectful and enjoyable. The location is are extremely safe where you can leave your door unlocked and feel like your neighbors could watch your back. The surrounding area is also extremely beautiful with amazing weather. However, Laguna Beach is quite polarized with its diversity.
