What gets photographedPage One, the Camera and the Reader in Laguna Niguel
Master-planning began in 1960, though the bulk of the housing came decades later, in stucco and tile. A chimney report mainly covers factory-built systems, and any graded hillside lot gets an extra line on how the chimney sits on it. Moderate salt and marine layer reach these hills from a few miles off, and fall gusts can strip caps. Slope grading matters more locally than fault lines do, and the 2022 Coastal Fire burned nearby.
