Laguna Hills is an area of California real estate that was developed during the Rancho Era of the 1800's as part of a major land grant. Don Juan Avila, a participant in the war for Mexico's independence that concluded in 1821, was first granted the land which today is occupied by the city of Laguna Hills.

Don Juan Avila's land was later purchased by Lewis Moulton and Jean Piedra Daguerre and eventually subdivided. In the early 1960's, the area once known as Moulton Ranch came to be recognized as Laguna Hills. Although Laguna Hills was established as early as the 1960's, it was not until 1991 that it officially became a city through incorporation. In 1996 and 2000, North Laguna Hills and the Westside Annexation Area respectively became part of the incorporated City of Laguna Hills.

Located in Southern Orange County, California, Laguna Hills has a rich and interesting history. The city was named due to its close proximity to Laguna Beach and Laguna Canyon. Points of interest in Laguna Beach include the Juan Avila Adobe Monument, Fossil Reef Park, and Costeau Park. City exhibits, parks, shopping, dining, and a number of parks are just a few of the popular attractions of Laguna Beach. In addition, some of Orange County's best medical facilities are located in Laguna Beach. Perhaps it is for all of these reasons that Laguna Hills property is in such high demand.
