How Breakers at Bear Brand was built
Breakers was built in 1989, the same year Laguna Niguel became a city. The incorporation vote on 1 December 1989 made it Orange County's twenty ninth municipality, and it happened without the coastal strip: after a decade of argument with Dana Point over Monarch Beach, residents there voted 61 percent to join Dana Point instead, and Laguna Niguel's lawsuit failed.
One street serves the whole community, Shorebreaker Drive, running four tenths of a mile end to end past 180 addresses on fourteen level acres. The city zones all of it Multi Family, records it as ungated but on private streets, and lists a pool and a spa. Everything inside sits at 345 feet and drains to Salt Creek.
