More Insights
Built in 1969 (56 years old).
Condition: Built in 1969, this property shows signs of regular maintenance but features significantly outdated kitchen and bathroom components. The kitchen has older white appliances, laminate countertops, and dated flooring and lighting. The bathrooms also feature older vanities, fixtures, and flooring. While the living areas benefit from newer laminate wood-look flooring and fresh paint, the core areas of the home (kitchen, bathrooms, and wall-mounted AC unit) are functional but clearly reflect an older style, likely from renovations 20-30+ years ago, indicating a need for minor to moderate updates to meet current aesthetic and functional standards.

About this home
Tucked inside Laguna Woods Village’s guard-gated, 55+ community, this single-level 2-bedroom residence offers easy living close to Gates 5 & 6 and just moments from Clubhouse 4—the community’s creative hub with workshops, studios, and an Olympic-size pool. The efficient footprint pairs a bright living area with an adjacent dining nook and an open-feeling kitchen, while two well-sized bedrooms include a convenient powder/guest bath in addition to the main bath (public record shows 1.5 baths). A covered carport with storage, nearby community laundry, and leafy neighborhood walkways add day-to-day ease. Living here means resort-style amenities at your doorstep: two golf courses (27-hole championship + 9-hole exec), tennis, pickleball, multiple pools/spas, three fitness centers, equestrian center, and 200+ clubs—plus a free internal bus system and 24-hour security. Monthly assessments include water, sewer, trash, and basic cable, with exterior maintenance handled by the association. Minutes to Laguna Beach, medical services, shopping, dinning and entertainment.
