More Than a Home. Invest in a Lifestyle.
Laguna Woods Village offers something rare — a community where recreation, creativity, learning, friendships, and connection are just outside your door. Here, every day is an opportunity to live more fully.
LAGUNA WOODS VILLAGE
A Community Designed for Living Well.
Laguna Woods Village is one of the most complete active adult communities in the country. Across more than 2,100 acres in Orange County, residents enjoy golf, swimming, tennis, pickleball, fitness, arts, classes, performing arts, garden centers, an equestrian center, and more than 200 clubs. Whether you want to fill every hour or simply enjoy the setting, the Village gives you the freedom to choose.
YOUR PACE. YOUR CHOICE.
A lifestyle as active — or as relaxed — as you want it to be.
Some residents are on the golf course every morning, in a studio class by afternoon, and at a club meeting by evening. Others prefer a slower pace — morning walks through landscaped grounds, afternoons at the pool, evenings at a neighbor’s gathering. The Village supports both, without judgment and without pressure.
Seven clubhouses, three fitness centers, five pools, performing arts venues, creative studios, a library, and sprawling outdoor spaces mean there is always something available — and never an obligation to participate.

GOLF
Golf in Your Own Backyard.
Laguna Woods Village is one of the rare communities where world-class golf is part of daily life. Residents enjoy access to two courses — 36 total holes spanning nearly 154 acres of rolling fairways, mature trees, and California sunshine.
THE COURSES
36 Holes Across Two Courses
A 27-hole championship course and a 9-hole par-3 executive course give residents options for every skill level and schedule. Both courses wind through lush, landscaped grounds.
PRACTICE & INSTRUCTION
Everything You Need to Improve
A driving range, putting greens, chipping area, and on-site instruction make it easy to work on your game year-round. Golf cart rentals are available for added convenience.
THE PRO SHOP
Fully Equipped On-Site
The Village pro shop carries equipment, apparel, and accessories. Staff are available to help with club fittings, reservations, and everything else a golfer needs.
PLEASE NOTE
Golf at Laguna Woods Village carries additional fees beyond the standard Village assessment. Residents choose from membership plans and pay-as-you-play options. Liz can help you understand how golf costs factor into the overall cost of Village living.
CLUBHOUSES
Seven Clubhouses. Countless Ways to Connect.
At the heart of Laguna Woods Village are seven unique clubhouses — each a gathering place in its own right.

For residents, world-class entertainment isn’t a drive away — it’s part of the neighborhood. A concert on Friday, a lecture on Tuesday, a community celebration on Sunday. The arts are woven into the rhythm of daily Village life.

LIBRARY & HISTORY
Read, Discover & Stay Curious.
The Village Library is one of those quietly wonderful amenities that residents discover and then wonder how they ever lived without. With more than 30,000 items — best-sellers, classics, magazines, large-print editions, and multilingual materials — it rivals many public libraries in breadth and far exceeds them in convenience.
Book clubs give readers a reason to meet regularly, share discoveries, and build friendships around a shared love of reading. It’s a social space as much as it is an intellectual one.
LAGUNA WOODS HISTORY CENTER
Where the Community Remembers Itself.
Right next door, the Laguna Woods History Center preserves and celebrates the story of this remarkable community — its founding, its people, and its evolution over more than five decades. For prospective buyers, it’s also a genuinely fascinating window into what makes the Village distinctive.

Library items available to residents
LIFELONG LEARNING

Retirement isn’t an ending — it’s an opening. Laguna Woods Village gives residents access to a remarkable range of educational opportunities, from classes and workshops offered through Saddleback College’s Emeritus Institute to on-site lectures, seminars, and skill-building programs across nearly every subject imaginable.
Language classes, technology workshops, history lectures, music appreciation, creative writing, fitness education — the Village treats intellectual curiosity as a lifelong pursuit, not something that stops at 65.
Whether you want to revisit a subject you studied decades ago, finally learn something you always put off, or simply stay sharp and engaged, the opportunities here are genuine and plentiful.

RECREATION & FITNESS
Move, Play & Stay Active.
From lap swimming to pickleball, lawn bowling to equestrian trails — the Village puts an active life right outside your door.
Laguna Woods Village offers one of the most complete recreation environments of any residential community in Southern California.

OUTDOOR RECREATION
Lawn Bowling, Equestrian & More
Lawn bowling greens, an equestrian center, table tennis, hiking paths, and a full calendar of outdoor programming.
EVERYTHING CLOSE TO HOME
No commute. No separate membership for most activities. Recreation facilities are woven throughout the Village — many residents walk or ride their bikes. It’s one of the most practical and underappreciated aspects of Village life.
EQUESTRIAN CENTER
An Equestrian Center Right in the Village.
Few residential communities of any kind offer equestrian facilities on-site. Laguna Woods Village is one of them. The Village Equestrian Center provides residents access to a full range of activities — riding, lessons, trail rides, and boarding for resident-owned horses — all within the community.
For lifelong riders, the ability to board and care for their own horse while living in a retirement community is a rare and meaningful amenity. For those new to riding, the center offers a welcoming way to discover something unexpected.

Walk Everywhere
Pedestrian-friendly paths throughout the Village, golf-course views, and the convenience of doing daily life outdoors in Southern California’s gentle climate. Most residents find themselves outside far more than they ever expected.
THE SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA ADVANTAGE
Mild temperatures, low humidity, and more than 280 sunny days a year mean outdoor life in Laguna Woods Village isn’t seasonal — it’s a daily reality. Residents walk, garden, exercise, and simply sit outside in comfort year-round.
YOUR MONTHLY ASSESSMENT
What Your Village Assessment Helps Support.
One of the most distinctive aspects of Village life is what your monthly assessment makes possible. It funds the infrastructure, facilities, and services that make Laguna Woods Village feel less like a residential complex and more like a self-contained community — one where most of what you need for an active, enriching daily life is already here.
RECREATION & FITNESS
Active Living Infrastructure
Five pools, three fitness centers, tennis and pickleball courts, lawn bowling greens, sport facilities, and the extensive network of walking paths that connects it all.
ARTS & CULTURE
Creative & Cultural Spaces
Arts and crafts studios, the Performing Arts Center, the Village Library and History Center, and the creative programming that fills them week after week.
COMMUNITY FACILITIES
Seven Clubhouses & Shared Spaces
The operation, maintenance, and programming of seven clubhouses — social lounges, meeting rooms, event venues, dining spaces, and the shared infrastructure that keeps them running.
GROUNDS & MAINTENANCE
2,100+ Acres, Maintained
The landscaping, irrigation, common area upkeep, and general property maintenance that keep more than 2,100 acres of rolling grounds looking the way they do, year-round.
PLEASE NOTE — ADDITIONAL FEES APPLY FOR SOME ACTIVITIES
The Village assessment covers the shared infrastructure and facilities described above, but many specific activities, classes, services, and amenities carry their own fees. Golf membership plans and play-as-you-go fees, equestrian activities, some fitness classes, art materials, studio use, private instruction, equipment rentals, and other programs typically involve separate charges. Fees vary by activity and are set by Laguna Woods Village — Liz can help you understand the overall cost picture as you evaluate Village living.
THE LAGUNA WOODS LIFESTYLE
The Real Luxury Is Having Choices.
A morning round of golf. An art class. Tending a garden plot. A workout. Book club at noon. A performance in the evening. Dinner with neighbors. Or a quiet afternoon at home, windows open to California sun.
No two residents spend their days the same way. Buying a home in Laguna Woods Village isn’t only about choosing a property. It’s about gaining access to a community built around possibilities — and the freedom to decide, every single day, how you want to live.
