Newport Coast sits on a coastal hilltop above the Pacific between Crystal Cove State Park and Pelican Hill, an enclave of roughly 5,000 homes spread across a handful of master planned villages. Most residents arrive by way of Pacific Coast Highway or Newport Coast Drive, and almost every street offers an ocean, canyon, or sunset view. The community grew up in the 1990s and 2000s as Irvine Company turned the last open coastal hills in Orange County into gated estates, custom homes, and resort style condominiums. Today the neighborhood anchors the luxury tier of the South Orange County market, with a year round season driven by buyers from Newport Beach, San Francisco, the Pacific Northwest, and overseas. Inventory turns over slowly, prices stay firm, and most homes sell within sixty days of listing.
