Overview
About Laguna Sur
Laguna Sur covers 84.2 acres and holds 283 addresses on 312 parcels. Eighty-two of those addresses carry a unit designator in the city's record, so a substantial share of the housing here is attached. Ten named streets run 1.73 miles inside the boundary and every one is French Mediterranean: Marseille, Saint Tropez, Antibes, Nice, Toulon, Montpellier, Saint Maxime, Saint Raphael, Le Conte and Cavalier. The whole 74 acres of non-street ground sits inside the South Laguna Specific Plan rather than a standard city zone.
This is the highest boundary in Laguna Niguel. The parcel layer records ground elevations from 613 feet to 931 feet, and the 2025 fire hazard layer rates 83.7 of the 84.2 acres Very High, with the city requiring fuel modification on 123 parcels inside it. The city's HOA zoning lookup records Laguna Sur as gated with private streets and lists two pools, a spa and tennis courts. Three quarters of a mile of the Laguna Ridge Trail runs inside the boundary, and the Open Space Inventory covers 48.3 acres of it, 17.1 acres recorded as natural area.
