55 Hastings

Be aware the traffic on the main roads near here gets pretty bad during rush hour. But off-peak it's a breeze.

Hot take: Laguna Niguel is still undervalued compared to where it's headed. Lock something in now or regret it.

Prices in Laguna Niguel have been wild lately. $3.8M would've been unheard of two years ago for a house like this.

Is this place still available? I reached out to the listing agent but haven't heard back in two days.

The food scene in Laguna Niguel has exploded lately. You won't run out of dinner options living here.

The finishes in the photos look really clean. Definitely updated recently.

Fair warning: parking around Hastings can be a nightmare on weekends. Just something to keep in mind.

I've been tracking Laguna Niguel listings for months. Inventory is up and prices are leveling off. Good time to be looking.

[local] At 3.8M you are paying a premium for the lot size. Comparable homes on the next street sold for 3.2-3.4M in the last 6 months. This is priced for the view but the view is partially obstructed by the neighbor's second story addition.

[neighbor] Best part of this location: 3 minute walk to the trail that connects to Aliso Wood Canyons. Worst part: the elementary school redistricted last year and this address now feeds into the lower-rated one.

[drove by] Went to the open house last month. Staging was aggressive — they had furniture blocking a crack in the living room wall. The master bath shower had visible grout damage they tried to cover with caulk.

[past renter] Lived two doors down. The sewer line on this stretch of Hastings is original from 1990. Multiple neighbors have had to replace theirs. Budget 15-20k just in case.

[local] Foundation work was done in 2019 — not sure if it was disclosed. Ask for the permit history from the city. Laguna Niguel building dept is pretty responsive.

[neighbor] The house backs up to Crown Valley Pkwy. You WILL hear the road after 6am. The photos make the backyard look peaceful. It is not.

[almost bought] Listed twice before. Pulled both times. Our agent told us the sellers were testing the market. Something felt off so we walked.

[neighbor] HOA is run by one woman on the corner who will fine you if your trash cans are visible for more than 2 hours. Not exaggerating. Ask anyone on the street.

Someone explain this price !!!
