The beautiful coastal community of Laguna Niguel is a 14.72 square mile planned community located almost exactly halfway between Los Angeles and San Diego. Laguna Niguel was one of the first master planned communities in California. The name, Laguna Niguel, is derived from the Spanish word "laguna" which means lagoon and "nigueli" which was the name of an Indian village once located near Aliso Creek. On December 1, 1989, Laguna Niguel became the 29th city in Orange County and has boasted a strong retail and commercial environment ever since.
Existing and planned use of Laguna Niguel's 9,456 acres includes 3,549 acres for residential use, 276 commercial acres, 223 acres designated for mixed uses, 222 acres for public and institutional facilities and 3,650 acres designated to parks and open spaces.
Over one third of Laguna Niguel is designated open space. This provides for 2 community parks, 23 neighborhood parks, 3 mini parks, 1 dog park, 2 small county parks, 1 skate and soccer park and 2 county regional parks. The Laguna Niguel Regional Park consists of over 80 acres of land surrounding a 44 acre lake which is regularly stocked with catfish, bass, blue gill and trout during the winter months. The park also is proud to provide boating, picnic shelters, hiking, biking and equestrian trails, courts for volleyball and tennis as well as many more year-round activities to enjoy.

Newport Beach

Newport Beach is like a French Impressionistic painting--it's a magical place with views so stunning, they hardly seem real. Like the Rock of Gibraltar or the French Riviera, cars line up on weekends filled with visitors seeking opportunities to share the dream on a five mile stretch of land referred to locally as the Newport or Balboa Peninsula. Intimate sand beaches, a jetty called "The Wedge" where surfers test their skills, two piers, the Fun Zone, Balboa Pavilion, Newport-Balboa Ferry boat, harbor cruises, boat rentals and trips to Catalina Island are but a few of the attractions for people of all ages.
Newport Beach is located 50 miles south of Los Angeles and 85 miles north of San Diego in Orange County. With nearly 22 square miles of ocean and bay, including several islands, the city offers the greatest variety and number of restaurants with water view dining in all of Orange County.
Summers bring outdoor jazz concerts to the center. Next door, the Hyatt Newporter plays host to an annual line up of jazz artists in summer concerts and also hosts several tennis tournaments. Several public golf courses include Newport Beach Golf Course, Hyatt Newporter Golf Course and Pelican Hills Golf Course, home to a televised tournament. An endless list of celebrities have wined, dined, lived and acted in Newport Beach, beginning first in the Silent Film era of the early 1900's. Historic Balboa Pavilion and the Newport Beach bay, the coves of Corona del Mar and every spot you can imagine have been used in film.
Newport Beach contains numerous communities or villages that include Balboa Island, Balboa Peninsula, Cannery Village, Corona del Mar, Fashion Island, Lido Marina Village, Mariners Mile and Upper Newport Bay.
Newport Beach contains seven islands and are some of the most expensive real estate in Southern California. Homes costing $2 million and up are surrounded by one of the world's largest small yacht harbors. Balboa Island is the largest. Lido Isle with Lido Marina Village, shops, art galleries, boutiques and boardwalk cafes plus Little Balboa Island, Linda Isle, Collins Island, Harbor Island and Bay Island make up the man-made harbors and lands that rank among the most expensive in Orange County.

San Clemente

San Clemente, Dana Point's sister city to the south, lies at the southern tip of Orange County with nothing but 20 miles of ocean, and natural preserves to the south. This unique small city offers the same wonderful climate as Dana Point, as well as a Spanish architectural theme originated by its founder, Ole Hansen, and kept alive today by the San Clemente Historical Society. Ole Hansen felt San Clemente was just the place for those who longed for a slower paced life. This slower pace of life lasted until 1969 when President Nixon brought national attention to San Clemente by purchasing a mansion in town known as the "Western White House".
Although San Clemente is now more of a balanced community, it's small town atmosphere has not changed. The focal point now is its main street, "Del Mar", which offers a large number of boutique shops and stores for most every need, along with a number of wonderful restaurants including some of the best Mexican cuisine on the planet, and one local favorite that is actually on the famous San Clemente pier.
This town also offers miles of white sandy beaches as well as a couple of world class surf breaks. This charming small community has a warm and wonderful feel to it, and is definitely a great place to live.
