Description

Welcome to Smithcliffs, one of Laguna Beach’s most private and historic coastal enclaves, established in 1915 and comprised of only 20 residences. Located within this ultra-exclusive gated North Laguna community, 34 Smithcliffs Road presents a rare opportunity to own in one of the city’s most tightly held blufftop neighborhoods.
Positioned on a quiet cul-de-sac behind an additional automatic security gate, the home captures sweeping ocean, coastline, and sunset views while offering exceptional privacy just moments from Laguna’s renowned beaches, galleries, restaurants, and village amenities. Thoughtfully updated interiors, expansive living areas, view terraces, and seamless indoor-outdoor flow create an ideal setting for both entertaining and relaxed coastal living.
Defined by its historic character, architectural pedigree, and elevated position above the shoreline, Smithcliffs represents one of Laguna Beach’s most coveted residential settings—where opportunities to purchase are exceptionally rare.

    "Free trolley and local vehicle transport is free for locals and visitors and makes transportation easy throughout the city, but influx of visitors in warmer months heavily impacts traffic. As a local, riding a bike is easier to get around in than a vehicle when it’s 68° or above."

    "Laguna has a lot of charm, good food and shopping, a variety of coffee shops/cafes, and mostly friendly people. Overall dog friendly but public spaces like side walks, grassy areas, and roads could be better (and the city is slowly but surely updating). "

    "Many families in the area, good schools. Community is rather safe for kids. But mainly the streets aren’t always safe as there are many bad and reckless drivers that come through laguna. That would be my greatest concern as a parent in Laguna. Driver’s education and safety for pedestrians and cyclists "
