Communities · Newport Coast
Newport Coast.
Guard-gated communities on the bluffs above Crystal Cove State Park, directly adjacent to Newport Beach. Ocean views, resort infrastructure at Pelican Hill, and some of the most recognized luxury addresses in Orange County.
The neighborhood
Bluff-top luxury next to Newport Beach.
The Irvine Company built Newport Coast out beginning in the 1990s as a master plan on the coastal bluffs, and the site design shows it. Ocean, canyon, and city light views are built into most lots, and nearly every sub-community is guard-gated. That view-and-gates combination is what buyers come for, and it has a lasting effect on value that needs to be priced correctly on both sides of any transaction.
The other half of the equation is location and infrastructure. Newport Coast borders Newport Beach directly, so Corona del Mar, the beaches, the harbor, and Fashion Island are all minutes away. The Pelican Hill Resort anchors the western end with two Tom Fazio-designed golf courses and resort-level dining. Newport-Mesa Unified serves the area, the same district as Newport Beach, College Park, and Costa Mesa, and Francesco can walk you through the trade-offs between this market and the more accessible farming areas he specializes in.
- Newport Coast sits on the coastal bluffs above Crystal Cove State Park, directly adjacent to Newport Beach to the north.
- The master-planned community was developed by The Irvine Company beginning in the 1990s, and was annexed by the City of Newport Beach effective January 1, 2002, after years as unincorporated county land.
- It covers about 7.2 square miles in the San Joaquin Hills.
- Nearly every sub-community is guard-gated, and ocean, canyon, and city light views are the norm throughout.
- Francesco works Newport Coast as part of a broader Orange County practice anchored in Newport Beach and with primary farming areas in College Park and Costa Mesa.

What buyers love
What makes Newport Coast different.
The ocean views.
Ocean, canyon, and city light views are built into the site plan across most of Newport Coast, and many homes have unobstructed Pacific sightlines. That view component has a lasting effect on value and needs to be priced correctly on both sides of any Newport Coast transaction.
Pelican Hill Resort.
A AAA Five Diamond property with two 18-hole Tom Fazio golf courses, multiple pools, and dining that draws from across Orange County. Having it within walking distance of your Newport Coast home is a genuine quality-of-life asset.
Guard-gated privacy.
Nearly every sub-community in Newport Coast has staffed guard gates, providing a level of security and privacy that most Orange County neighborhoods, including most of Newport Beach, do not offer.
