Is Laguna Beach getting better or worse?

I'm a remote worker and Crime rate is something to consider -Laguna Beach sits at 165.1 per 100K. Poverty rate is 2.1%, which is pretty low. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. What would you do? Looking forward to hearing from you all.

From a safety perspective, it really depends on the area. Some neighborhoods are underrated, others not so much. Do your research on specific streets.

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem tough.

I've been here 1 years and I genuinely enjoy living here. The thing nobody mentions is public transit. It's developing and it affects daily life more than you'd think.

That said, the nightlife is legit. And if you're into biking, this place is underrated.

Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The Uptown side vs the Springfield side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.

Hope this helps!.

Hot take but there are trade-offs but the good outweighs the bad. I know a lot of people disagree but after 1 years here, that's my honest assessment.

Bought a house here in 2024 and I love the pace of life here. Property values have gone up a bit since then.
