Soak Up The Sun: Beautiful Laguna Hills 5 rating By Anonymous ( May 14, 2018) Get ready to soak up some sunshine while living in Laguna Hills, CA.

While I do find it to be a city that is more attractive to younger adults, there is surely something here for everyone. It is also one of the safer cities to live in in the Southern California area. So you can breathe a sigh of relief if you are looking to relocate here with a family.

In my experience, living in Laguna Hills shines in the summertime, pun intended. When the sun is out, and the beach is calling your name, you will love being so close to the ocean. I've only lived here for three years, and I can easily see myself living here for much longer! Read Less
