Newport Coast is a master-planned, mostly guard-gated community in the San Joaquin Hills at the southern edge of Newport Beach, California, set between Corona del Mar and Crystal Cove State Park within the 92657 ZIP code. The Irvine Company built roughly 4,000 homes across about 7,700 acres and preserved close to three quarters of that land as permanent open space, so protected canyons and ridgelines frame the views from nearly every street. Home to around 10,000 residents, with home values among the highest in Orange County, the area annexed into the City of Newport Beach in 2002 and keeps a distinct identity through villages such as Crystal Cove, Pelican Crest, Ziani, and Trovare. Crystal Cove State Park anchors the western edge, and Pelican Hill Golf Club offers 36 Tom Fazio holes. Realatrends, a full-service Orange County brokerage since 1983, represents buyers and sellers at every Newport Coast price point.
Newport Coast real estate climbs the San Joaquin Hills between Corona del Mar and Crystal Cove State Park, a master-planned collection of gated hillside communities where ocean view estates overlook the whole coastline, from the Newport Harbor entrance to Catalina Island on a clear afternoon. This page is the complete place to track the market. Below you will find every active Newport Coast home for sale, recent sold data, an advanced property search, and a full local guide to the communities, schools, golf, and coastline. Realatrends has been a locally owned and operated Orange County brokerage since 1983, representing buyers and sellers at every Newport Coast price point, hilltop townhomes through custom oceanfront estates.

About Newport Coast
Newport Coast rises from Pacific Coast Highway into the San Joaquin Hills at the southern edge of Newport Beach, with Corona del Mar to the north and the wilderness behind Laguna Beach to the south and east. The Irvine Company master-planned the area on former Irvine Ranch land, building roughly 4,000 homes across about 7,700 acres while setting aside close to three quarters of that land as permanent open space. The result is a community where protected canyons and ridgelines frame nearly every street, and where ocean views carry over rooftops instead of into them.
The area developed as unincorporated Orange County before joining the City of Newport Beach by annexation in 2002, and it keeps a distinct identity inside the city: its own 92657 ZIP code, its own elementary school, a community center on San Joaquin Hills Road, and around 10,000 residents spread across a roster of named villages. Mediterranean architecture dominates by design. The master plan drew on Tuscany, Provence, and coastal Spain, and the composition of tile roofs and stone facades reads as a single piece from the water.
The defining trait of Newport Coast real estate is the gate. Most villages are guard-gated or access-controlled, with a master association layered over individual community associations to maintain the slopes, gates, and parks. Buyers here trade the parcel-by-parcel variety of older coastal towns like Laguna Beach for privacy, consistent standards, and view corridors protected by open space that can never be built out.
The Newport Coast Lifestyle
Crystal Cove State Park runs along the community’s western edge with 3.2 miles of shoreline and 2,400 acres of backcountry canyons laced with hiking and mountain biking trails. The park’s federally listed Historic District preserves dozens of 1930s and 1940s beach cottages at the mouth of Los Trancos Creek, one of the last intact stretches of old-California coastline anywhere in the Southland. Residents treat the park as a backyard: tide pools and swim beaches below the bluff, trail runs through Moro Canyon before work, and sunset walks that start at the end of the street.
Pelican Hill Golf Club sits in the middle of it all with 36 holes of Tom Fazio design, the Ocean North and Ocean South courses, both playing toward open Pacific views. The Resort at Pelican Hill opened in 2008 above the fairways, and its restaurants and spa function as a neighborhood amenity for the villages around it.
Daily errands stay local. The Newport Coast Shopping Center at San Joaquin Hills Road and Newport Coast Drive centers on a large Pavilions market, and the Crystal Cove Shopping Center on Pacific Coast Highway pairs ocean-view dining, including Javier’s and Mastro’s Ocean Club, with shops and cafes above the state park. The Newport Coast Community Center hosts recreation programs, and the Buck Gully Reserve trail drops from San Joaquin Hills Road through a coastal canyon toward the beaches of Corona del Mar. Fashion Island, Newport Harbor, and John Wayne Airport are each a short drive down the hill.
Schools in Newport Coast
Newport Coast Elementary School serves the community from a campus inside the master plan and belongs to the Newport-Mesa Unified School District. Students continue to Corona del Mar Middle and High School, a combined campus in Newport Beach serving grades seven through twelve with a strong college-placement record. Sage Hill School, an independent college-preparatory school, sits on a 28-acre ocean-view campus on Newport Coast Drive and draws families from across Orange County.
School strength matters to resale as much as to enrollment. The pairing of a neighborhood elementary school, the Corona del Mar feeder pattern, and a top private option inside the community keeps family demand for Newport Coast homes consistent through every market cycle.
Gated Communities and Villages of Newport Coast
Newport Coast is organized as a set of distinct villages, most behind gates, each with its own architecture, price band, and view orientation. These are the communities buyers ask about most.
Crystal Cove
Crystal Cove is the marquee guard-gated community on the seaward slope, roughly 620 acres bordering the state park that shares its name. Several hundred residences spread across its neighborhoods, crowned by custom estate lots at the top of the community where owners have built some of the largest homes on the Orange County coast. Dual gates, ocean-facing terrain, and finished estates trading at the region’s highest prices make Crystal Cove the standard against which the rest of the market gets measured.
Pelican Crest, Pelican Point, and the Pelican Hill Communities
The Pelican communities surround the golf resort. Pelican Crest holds about 160 custom estates on a hilltop with sightlines that sweep from Catalina Island across Newport Harbor toward Palos Verdes. Pelican Point places 48 custom homes on the ocean side of Pacific Coast Highway beside Crystal Cove State Park, the closest addresses to the sand in Newport Coast. Guard-gated Pelican Ridge and Pelican Heights round out the group with Mediterranean estates and golf-and-ocean view streets.
Ocean Heights and Pacific Ridge
Ocean Heights is a guard-gated hilltop community whose homes take in ocean, harbor, Catalina, and city-light panoramas. Pacific Ridge, among the last villages the master plan delivered, was built largely between 2004 and 2007 and gathers neighborhoods including Belcara, Pienza, Cypress, and Costa Azul behind a staffed gate, with canyon and coastline views across preserved open space.
Townhome and Condominium Villages
Newport Coast is not only estates. Gated villages such as Ziani, a hilltop community of 168 townhomes with a clubhouse and pool, along with Trovare, Sausalito, and Altezza, open the market to buyers who want the same schools, trails, and coastline at a fraction of estate pricing. Campobello adds guard-gated single-family homes from the late 1990s with panoramic ocean views. These villages share the parks, the gates, and the address with the customs above them, which is exactly why they hold value so well.
The Newport Coast Housing Market
Newport Coast consistently carries one of the highest median home prices of any community in Orange County, and its top sales rank among the highest on the Southern California coast. The market data on this page tracks current pricing, inventory, and days on market live, so use it rather than any printed number: the dashboard updates continuously while prose goes stale.
The shape of the market is durable even when the numbers move. Townhome and condominium villages generally open access in the low millions. Gated single-family communities climb from there, and custom estates in Crystal Cove, Pelican Crest, and Pelican Point regularly trade at eight-figure prices. Supply is structurally constrained: the master plan is built out, the surrounding land is preserved open space, and no new village is coming to dilute the inventory. Demand stays deep because the buyer pool spans local move-up families, relocating executives, and international buyers who want gated coastal property with strong schools.
Buyers comparing coastal markets often weigh Newport Coast against the harbor and beach neighborhoods of Newport Beach, the walkable village blocks of Corona del Mar, or the inland gated estates of Irvine. We represent clients in all of them and can frame the tradeoffs street by street.

Frequently Asked Questions About Newport Coast
What is Newport Coast known for?
Newport Coast is known for guard-gated hillside communities with panoramic Pacific views, the two Tom Fazio golf courses at Pelican Hill, and direct access to Crystal Cove State Park. The Irvine Company master-planned the area with roughly three quarters of its land preserved as open space, so homes look across protected canyons to the ocean. It carries some of the highest home values in Orange County.
Is Newport Coast part of Newport Beach?
Yes. Newport Coast developed as unincorporated Orange County under an Irvine Company master plan and joined the City of Newport Beach by annexation in 2002. It keeps a distinct identity within the city: a separate 92657 ZIP code, its own elementary school, a community center, and a named set of villages in the San Joaquin Hills above Crystal Cove State Park.
Are all Newport Coast communities gated?
Most are. Crystal Cove, Pelican Crest, Pelican Point, Ocean Heights, Pacific Ridge, and Campobello are guard-gated, and many townhome villages such as Ziani sit behind access gates. A handful of neighborhoods are open. Gated living shapes the buying process itself: showings are scheduled rather than walked into, which is one reason local representation matters more here than in most coastal markets.
What are the most exclusive communities in Newport Coast?
Crystal Cove, Pelican Crest, and Pelican Point sit at the top of the market. Crystal Cove pairs several hundred residences with custom estate lots behind dual gates bordering the state park. Pelican Crest holds about 160 hilltop custom estates with views from Catalina to Palos Verdes. Pelican Point places 48 custom homes on the ocean side of Pacific Coast Highway, the closest addresses to the sand in Newport Coast.
How much does a home in Newport Coast cost?
Newport Coast carries one of the highest median home prices in Orange County. Townhomes and condominiums generally open the market in the low millions, gated single-family homes run higher, and custom estates in Crystal Cove, Pelican Crest, and Pelican Point regularly trade at eight-figure prices. For current figures, use the live market data on this page or request a pricing analysis on a specific property.
What schools serve Newport Coast?
Newport Coast Elementary School serves the community within the Newport-Mesa Unified School District, and students continue to Corona del Mar Middle and High School, a combined Newport Beach campus for grades seven through twelve. Sage Hill School, an independent college-preparatory school, sits on Newport Coast Drive inside the community. School quality is one of the most consistent demand drivers for Newport Coast homes.
Which Newport Coast community is closest to the beach?
Pelican Point, whose 48 custom estates sit on the ocean side of Pacific Coast Highway beside Crystal Cove State Park. Every other village reaches the sand in minutes: the park’s 3.2 miles of shoreline run along the community’s western edge with trail and parking access off the highway, and the beaches of Corona del Mar sit just up the coast.
What is there to do in Newport Coast?
Residents hike and ride the 2,400-acre backcountry of Crystal Cove State Park, swim and tidepool along its 3.2 miles of beach, and play the two Tom Fazio ocean-view courses at Pelican Hill Golf Club. Crystal Cove Shopping Center on Pacific Coast Highway holds restaurants like Javier’s and Mastro’s Ocean Club, and Fashion Island, Corona del Mar village, and Newport Harbor are minutes down the hill.
Do Newport Coast homes have HOA fees?
Yes. Nearly every Newport Coast village belongs to a homeowners association, and many properties pay two: a master association that maintains shared slopes, gates, and parks, plus a sub-association for the individual village. Fees vary widely by community and amenity level, so confirm the full assessment picture on any specific property before writing an offer. We provide those figures with every showing.
Are there off-market homes for sale in Newport Coast?
Yes. Gated estate communities transact off-market at a meaningful rate, with owners testing prices through broker networks before listing publicly. Realatrends has worked coastal Orange County since 1983, and our broker relationships regularly surface Newport Coast properties that never reach the public MLS. If the open inventory looks thin for your criteria, ask us what is available behind the gates.
