views to “panoramic” views by expanding upwards in the rear of their homes without compromising their home’s cottagey street appeal. Maintaining the village “charm” is paramount in any remodel design. Even brand new construction is designed with sensitivity for adhering to The Village “character.” Community features: All within walking distance are the many shops along Coast Highway including The Old Pottery Place, The Village shops, Ralphs, and the numerous restaurants, cafes, boutiques, art galleries, music stores, and much more. Many east/ west streets end their western journey at the beach with full public access. A common feature of the homes here is outside showers for washing sandy feet after a trip to the beach. This is truly a beach-oriented community; it trades the more dramatic views to be enjoyed in the higher areas of town for easy beach access and the ability to walk to anything that Laguna Beach has to offer. Why do I love it here? There is a true sense of community that one feels in The Village. Because of its cozy lifestyle, The Village fosters a neighborly atmosphere. This friendly environment makes living and working in town a true pleasure. The convenience John Newlander of being able to walk anywhere in town is rare in Southern California and this pedestrian lifestyle makes The Village very unique and special. One of my favorite things to do each year is to walk down to Thalia Street Beach on July 4, settle back in my beach chair, enjoy watching the fireworks amongst my neighbors, and then walking leisurely back home. I feel uniquely honored to be a real estate agent lucky enough to work in my own neighborhood and to serve my fellow Village neighbors.
