The Community of Lanikai Lane is a special place. Its location is truly unsurpassed on the Southern California Coast. As a Homeowner contemplating putting a new home in the Community, you have a unique opportunity to enhance Lanikai Lane by sharing in our vision. That vision? It is a small scale, high quality, beachside community filled with charming bungalows and cottages reminiscent of the Southern California beachside communities of another time. Not only will this Community be a better place to call home and to be proud of, but it will also surely enhance the values of yours and your neighbors’ homes. The goal in developing these Architectural Standards was to assist you and your Home Builder in understanding the future vision of Lanikai Lane.
