Corona del Mar packs more coastline character per block than almost anywhere in Orange County: bluff-front homes along Ocean Boulevard, walkable Flower Streets a few minutes from the sand, and view neighborhoods rising from the harbor entrance to the edge of Crystal Cove State Park. This page is the complete place to follow the market. Below you will find every active Corona del Mar home for sale, recent sold data, an advanced property search, and a full local guide to the neighborhoods, beaches, and schools.

Corona del Mar Homes For Sale
Browse every active Corona del Mar home for sale below, with the newest listings first. The feed pulls directly from the MLS and updates throughout the day, so a property that hits the market this morning shows up here this morning. Save a search and you will receive an alert the moment a home matching your criteria lists, often before the national portals surface it. When a listing catches your eye, ask us for the story behind it: pricing history, days on market in context, and how that block actually lives day to day.
Sold Homes and Live Corona del Mar Pricing
Sold comps are the most honest signal in any market, and they matter more in Corona del Mar than in most places because no two properties are alike. A rebuilt front-and-back home on Marigold and an original single-level cottage two doors down can close hundreds of dollars apart per square foot. The live market data on this page tracks current asking prices, recent sales, and inventory in real time, so trust it over any number frozen into prose. When you need a pricing opinion on one specific property, we pull the comps that genuinely match: same side of the highway, same view orientation, same lot type. Our brokers run that analysis as part of every listing we take and every offer we write.
About Corona del Mar
Corona del Mar means Crown of the Sea, and the name predates nearly everything around it. George E. Hart bought 700 acres of oceanfront land here in 1904 and platted a beach town on the bluff east of the Newport Harbor entrance. Residents voted to join Newport Beach, and the annexation became official in 1924. Today Corona del Mar is the southern coastal district of Newport Beach with its own ZIP code, 92625, its own chamber of commerce, and a main-street identity that survived a century of growth around it.
The geography is simple and it explains the market. East Coast Highway runs the length of the community. Seaward of the highway sits the original village grid, ending at the bluff above the beaches and the harbor jetty. Inland of the highway, neighborhoods of larger homes climb the slope toward Newport Coast, many with views that sweep from Newport Harbor to Catalina Island. Drive southeast and the homes stop at Crystal Cove State Park; Laguna Beach lies beyond it, and master-planned Newport Coast occupies the ridge above. Corona del Mar itself is fully built out. Nobody is adding land, lots, or coastline here, and that scarcity is the single biggest force behind long-term values.
The Village and the Flower Streets
South of East Coast Highway lies the part of Corona del Mar most people picture first: the Village, a walkable grid where the streets are named alphabetically for flowers, Acacia through Poppy. Locals simply call them the Flower Streets. The original lots were platted long before anyone imagined what coastal land would be worth, so the dominant housing pattern became the front-and-back configuration: a primary home facing the street with a second unit behind it, sold together as a duplex or separately as condos. That pattern gives the Village something rare on this coastline, genuine entry points into a premier beach neighborhood alongside new custom construction on full lots.
Walkability drives the premium. From most Flower Street addresses you can reach coffee, dinner, and the sand on foot. The 1928 Goldenrod footbridge, a flower-draped local landmark, carries walkers across a ravine on the way down to the beach. Begonia Park spreads a long green lawn toward an ocean view. And Ocean Boulevard, the grid’s final street, traces the bluff with some of the most valuable residential frontage in California: homes overlooking the harbor entrance, the jetty, and the full sweep of Corona del Mar State Beach, with Lookout Point and Inspiration Point set along the blufftop between them.
Corona del Mar Neighborhoods, From the Harbor to Crystal Cove
Beyond the Village, Corona del Mar is a collection of distinct neighborhoods, each with its own architecture, view orientation, and price logic. We work in all of them.
Irvine Terrace
Across East Coast Highway from the harbor, Irvine Terrace is a classic 1950s neighborhood of curving streets and mature landscaping with one of the strongest community identities in the area. Its mid-century roots show in the single-level floor plans, though many homes have been rebuilt into contemporary showpieces. Front-row streets look across the water to Balboa Island and the harbor, and Fashion Island sits just up the hill.
China Cove and Ocean Boulevard
China Cove is the postcard: a sheltered pocket of sand at the base of the bluff near the harbor entrance, ringed by beach houses that open straight onto the cove. Above it, Ocean Boulevard and the bluff-front ends of the Flower Streets hold estates with unobstructed views over Big Corona, the jetty, and the boat traffic entering Newport Harbor. These properties trade infrequently and command some of the highest prices in Orange County when they do.
Shore Cliffs and Corona Highlands
Southeast of Little Corona, Shore Cliffs is a coveted non-gated neighborhood of custom homes where residents share private, gated access down to the sand. Corona Highlands climbs the slope just inland with ocean and Catalina views from many streets and a well-established, slower pace than the Village grid. Both neighborhoods put Little Corona’s tide pools and Crystal Cove’s trails within walking distance.
Cameo Shores and Cameo Highlands
At the southern edge of Corona del Mar, against Crystal Cove State Park, the Cameo communities hold some of the most dramatic ocean view lots in the city. Cameo Shores sits closest to the water, with residents-only gated paths to the coves below; Cameo Highlands rises behind it with broad coastline panoramas. Original mid-century homes here are steadily giving way to significant new construction, and oceanfront and front-row sales reach well into eight figures.
Harbor View Hills and Spyglass Hill
On the inland slope above the highway, Harbor View Hills dates to the early 1960s and offers what the Village cannot: larger lots, wider streets, and single-level living, with ocean and Catalina views from many homes. Spyglass Hill crowns the area at one of its highest elevations, where generous lots and panoramic views stretch from Newport Harbor to the Saddleback ridgeline, and the trailheads of Buck Gully are nearby. Families gravitate here for the space and the school access while staying minutes from the beach.
Beaches, Parks, and Daily Life in Corona del Mar
Corona del Mar State Beach, known to everyone local as Big Corona, spreads a half-moon of wide sand beside the harbor’s east jetty, with volleyball courts, fire rings, and calm water protected by the rocks. A few coves south, Little Corona is the naturalist’s beach: tide pools, reef snorkeling, and a sloped path down instead of stairs, which makes it one of the easiest beaches in Orange County to reach with gear in hand. China Cove sits just inside the harbor entrance, and Arch Rock rises offshore at Little Corona. Sunset gathers a crowd at Inspiration Point and Lookout Point on the bluff above, where the view runs from the harbor mouth to the cliffs of Crystal Cove.
Inland, Buck Gully Reserve preserves a coastal canyon of several hundred acres running behind the neighborhoods, with a trail system opened to the public in 2012 and a trailhead in Corona del Mar itself. Deer, bobcats, and hawks share the canyon with hikers most mornings. On East Coast Highway, Sherman Library and Gardens tends a 2.2-acre botanical garden, with a research library devoted to the history of the Pacific Southwest, an institution few beach towns of any size can claim.
The commercial heart is the highway itself: dozens of restaurants, cafes, galleries, and shops line roughly a mile of East Coast Highway through the Village, anchored by Corona del Mar Plaza at Avocado Avenue, with Fashion Island’s well over 100 stores and restaurants a short drive up the hill. The community calendar runs on two traditions from the Corona del Mar Chamber of Commerce: the Christmas Walk every December and the Scenic 5K every June, a race that has toured the bluff and beach views for more than four decades.
Schools Serving Corona del Mar
Corona del Mar belongs to the Newport-Mesa Unified School District. Harbor View Elementary, a high-performing K-6 campus in Harbor View Hills, anchors the neighborhood school path, and Corona del Mar Middle and High School educates grades 7 through 12 on a single shared campus. That continuity, two schools from kindergarten through graduation, is a genuine draw for families relocating here, and school-zone strength supports resale demand across the inland neighborhoods in particular. Several respected private schools around Newport Beach widen the options further.
The Corona del Mar Housing Market
Corona del Mar runs on scarcity. The community is fully built out, so essentially all new construction is a teardown and rebuild, and value concentrates in the land: which side of the highway, which view orientation, which lot type. The market spans a wider range than its reputation suggests. Flats and condos in the Village start above a million dollars and trade actively, single-family sales commonly land in the mid seven figures, and bluff-front, oceanfront, and front-row view estates reach well into eight figures. For current numbers, use the live market dashboard on this page rather than any figure printed in text; it updates with the market, and prose does not.
Two structural facts reward preparation. First, the best properties move fast: walkable Flower Street homes and turnkey rebuilds draw multiple offers in most market conditions. Second, a meaningful share of high-end Corona del Mar transactions never reaches the public MLS. Long-held bluff and view properties often change hands through broker relationships before a sign ever goes up. Working with a brokerage that hears about those opportunities is worth as much as any search alert.
Buying or Selling a Home in Corona del Mar
For buyers, our job starts before the showing. We preview inventory, know the difference between a true ocean view and a sliver between rooftops, and read lot types the way locals do: front-and-back versus full lot, original versus rebuilt, bluff setback and view protection. When you are ready to write, we build offers that win on terms, not just price. Start with the live listings on this page, or run a wider search across the whole coastline on our Orange County home search.
For sellers, pricing is the entire game in a market where comps vary block by block. We prepare a comp-driven analysis matched to your exact lot and view, then market the property to the buyer pools that actually transact here: move-up families from inland Newport, second-home buyers, and builders watching for land value. Begin with a free home valuation and we will follow up with the full picture, including what comparable homes are asking off-market.

Frequently Asked Questions About Corona Del Mar
Is Corona del Mar its own city?
No. Corona del Mar is a coastal district of Newport Beach, California. George E. Hart founded it as a development in 1904, and it was annexed into Newport Beach in 1924. It keeps a distinct identity anyway: its own ZIP code (92625), its own chamber of commerce, a defined village center on East Coast Highway, and mailing addresses that read Corona del Mar rather than Newport Beach.
What are the Flower Streets in Corona del Mar?
The Flower Streets are the original village grid south of East Coast Highway, where streets run alphabetically by flower name from Acacia to Poppy. Housing there mixes new custom homes with the classic front-and-back configuration, a street-facing home with a second unit behind it, sold as a duplex or as separate condos. Buyers prize the Flower Streets for walkability: the beach, restaurants, and shops sit within a few blocks of most addresses.
What are the best neighborhoods in Corona del Mar?
It depends on how you live. The Village and Flower Streets offer walk-to-beach convenience and the widest range of price points. Irvine Terrace delivers harbor and Balboa Island views. Ocean Boulevard and China Cove hold the trophy bluff and beachfront homes. Shore Cliffs and Cameo Shores offer private gated beach access. Harbor View Hills and Spyglass Hill provide larger lots, single-level living, and panoramic ocean views on the inland slope.
How much does a home in Corona del Mar cost?
Corona del Mar pricing varies dramatically by lot type and view. Village flats and condos start above a million dollars, single-family homes commonly trade in the mid seven figures, and bluff-front or oceanfront estates along Ocean Boulevard, China Cove, and Cameo Shores reach well into eight figures. For current pricing, use the live listings and market data on this page, or ask Realatrends for a comp analysis on a specific property or neighborhood.
What is the difference between Corona del Mar and Newport Coast?
Corona del Mar is the historic beach village: a 1904 street grid, walkable blocks, and homes built parcel by parcel over a century, annexed into Newport Beach in 1924. Newport Coast, on the ridge southeast of it, is a master-planned community developed from the 1990s onward, dominated by gated hillside enclaves. Corona del Mar offers village walkability and direct beach access; Newport Coast offers newer construction, larger gated estates, and elevation.
What are the best beaches in Corona del Mar?
Corona del Mar State Beach, called Big Corona by locals, is the main event: wide sand beside the harbor jetty with volleyball courts, fire rings, and protected water. Little Corona, a few coves south, is the spot for tide pools and snorkeling, reached by a sloped path rather than stairs. China Cove is a sheltered pocket beach below the bluff near the harbor entrance, ringed by beach houses.
What schools serve Corona del Mar?
Corona del Mar is served by the Newport-Mesa Unified School District. Most students attend Harbor View Elementary, a high-performing K-6 school in Harbor View Hills, then Corona del Mar Middle and High School, which shares one campus for grades 7 through 12. The strength of this school path is a significant driver of family demand, especially in Harbor View Hills, Spyglass Hill, and Irvine Terrace. Private school options around Newport Beach add further choices.
How walkable is Corona del Mar?
The Village is among the most walkable beach neighborhoods in Orange County: the Flower Streets put most residents within a few blocks of the sand, and roughly a mile of East Coast Highway through town is lined with restaurants, cafes, and shops. The Goldenrod footbridge shortcuts the walk to the beach. Inland neighborhoods like Harbor View Hills and Spyglass Hill are hillier and more car-oriented, though still minutes from the village core.
Are there off-market homes for sale in Corona del Mar?
Yes. A meaningful share of high-end Corona del Mar transactions happen off-market, particularly bluff-front Ocean Boulevard properties, China Cove homes, and long-held view estates in Cameo Shores and Irvine Terrace. Owners often test interest through broker channels before listing publicly. Realatrends has worked this coastline since 1983, and our broker relationships routinely surface opportunities before they reach the MLS. If the public inventory looks thin, ask us what else is available.
Is Corona del Mar a good place to invest in real estate?
Corona del Mar has the structural ingredients long-term investors look for: a fully built-out coastal location with no new land supply, sustained demand from equity-rich buyers, strong schools, and a walkable village that keeps rental and resale interest deep. Front-and-back lots in the Village add income flexibility that most luxury beach markets lack. As with any market, the entry price and the specific lot matter, so start with a property-level analysis.
