Laravel + React

I'm starting work on a large property listings website using react and laravel. Which of these two options would you advise and why?

Option 1: Use laravel react presets then have all your react components in a subfolder in your resources folder.

Option 2: Build the front-end completely outside laravel, using create-react-app my-app. Then build APIs with laravel that the react project will consume.
