About Laguna Woods

Laguna Woods is a small Orange County city best known for Laguna Woods Village, one of the largest age-restricted communities in the United States. The area sits near Laguna Hills and Irvine, with access to South Orange County services, medical care, and nearby open space. Long before suburban development, the region was home to Acjachemen and Tongva people. Today Laguna Woods is heavily shaped by retirement living, homeowner associations, golf, clubs, and a quieter pace than surrounding job centers.
