The City of Laguna Woods is located in south Orange County between the San Joaquin Foothills and the Santa Ana Mountains. The City is bordered on the north, east, and southeast by the City of Laguna Hills, on the northwest by the City of Irvine, on the west by unincorporated Orange County and the City of Laguna Beach, and on the south by the City of Aliso Viejo.

Laguna Woods is both one of California's newest and oldest cities. Incorporated in 1999 as Orange County's 32nd city, the average age of Laguna Woods residents is 78. Ninety percent of the City’s 4 square miles is contained within the senior citizen gated community of Leisure World. The balance of the City contains three additional senior residential communities and several thriving commercial centers.

Development of Leisure World began in the 1960s on 2,095 acres formerly known as the Moulton Ranch. It was designed to offer a full range of cultural and recreational experiences for active adults within a safe and gardenlike setting.

Four residential retirement communities house approximately 18,500 residents of the City of Laguna Woods: Leisure World, Renaissance at the Regency, Alterra Wynwood at Palm Terrace, and The Fountains.
