What to Consider About Assisted Living in Laguna Niguel
A suburban city close to the Pacific Ocean, Laguna Niguel is located in the San Joaquin Hills. Seniors, who make up just over 15 percent of the population in the city, have many opportunities for outdoor adventures here in addition to events in their assisted living community.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Laguna Niguel
- As it is located on the Pacific Ocean in the heart of the idyllic Southern California area, Laguna Niguel has near-perfect weather year-round. Some winter days will dip into the mid-40s, but the annual highs rarely crest out of the 70s during the day, with temperatures dropping into the low 60s or even high 50s in the evenings.
- Due to it’s close proximity to the metroplex of Los Angeles, Laguna Niguel’s air quality can sometimes be affected by the pollution of the big city. That said, it’s close proximity to the ocean and near-constant sea breeze blowing pollutants out of the area makes it a relatively safe place when it comes to overall air quality.
- As it’s in one of the most beautiful and desired coastal communities in the Southern California area, the cost of living in Laguna Niguel is almost twice as expensive as the average cost of living in the United States, and almost forty percent pricier than the rest of California.
- According to Neighborhood Scout, Laguna Niguel has one of the lowest crime rates in the nation making it an incredibly safe place for all residents, especially seniors. Laguna Niguel is 57% safer than most cities in the United States and one in 225 in California.
- The city of Laguna Niguel provides transportation services via yellow cab for residents age 60 and over, though it only goes between where they live and the local senior center. There is also a local bus service and ridesharing companies available for transportation in the area.
- Laguna Niguel has some of the better hospitals in the area like the Mission Hospital in Mission Viejo, for any medical services or illnesses that may arise.
