About 251 Lower Cliff Drive 8
The Laguna Beach postcard view, from your own deck. This single-level North Laguna condominium looks out over the coastline, white water, the hills and the village lights, a view that shifts from morning light to evening glow. As an end unit with no one above and no rooftops in front, it lives quiet, private and full of light. Inside are two bedrooms and 1,204 square feet, with granite counters in the kitchen and an open, airy layout that keeps the ocean in sight. Step out to the deck, framed by the only glass railings in the complex, and take in the sun, the sea breeze and the sound of the waves below. A rare private detached garage comes with the home. Set in a 17-unit building where ownership seldom changes hands, it sits a short walk from Main Beach, Heisler Park, galleries, restaurants and everything that makes the heart of Laguna special. Opportunities with this view, this close to the village, are few and far between.

In cities, the fire zone line follows the State Fire Marshal's 2025 map; each city adopts its own map and may add areas. These lines are not a Natural Hazard Disclosure. Check the official maps and the seller's disclosures before you rely on them.

Estimate only, not a loan offer or quote. Principal and interest use the Freddie Mac 30-year fixed average of 7.32% (week of Oct 22, 2026); your rate will differ. A loan this size is typically a jumbo loan, which prices differently. Tax and insurance are modelled, not billed amounts; tax uses a typical Laguna Beach rate, excluding Mello-Roos. Verify all figures. Full assumptions and disclosures.
