Newport Beach Real Estate

The Dover Shores community in Newport Beach is beautiful neighborhood that is filled with very elegant homes.  One of the reasons that many love this area is due to the various architectural styles that can be found here.  It's not uncommon to see large Mediterranean style homes mixed together with Cape Cod and Bungalow inspired houses.  One of the most captivating designed homes in the Contemporary architectural style.  Since the Dover Shores area sits next to the Back Bay, many have incorporated houses to take advantage of these great views.  Many have turned theses homes that were built in the 1960's in the mid-century design into beautiful Contemporary homes.  Some of the core elements found in a couple of the Contemporary homes currently on the

The Seawind community is one of my favorite condo buildings in the Newport Beach area due to it's small scale and great location near the beach.  These condos rarely come on the market for sale due to the limited number of units in this complex, 56 condos in total.  For example, in 2014 only one unit came up for sale and quickly sold in 37 days for $445,000.  In 2013, only three units came on the market and quickly sold between $400,000 to $420,000.  This year one listing sold in 39 days for $460,000 in January 2015.

Newport Beach is a wonderful place to find water front properties as the Newport Bay touches many areas of the mainland.  One such neighborhood is called "Balboa Coves" and is located in the most northern section of the bay near Pacific Coast Highway and the Balboa Peninsula.  Many are not aware of this community since the area is very small but offers homes that sit adjacent to the water.  One of the perks of living here is having a private boat slip that often can handle a boat up to 35 feet.  Some of the first homes were built here in the late 1940's with a large majority of them built in the 1950's.  These are classic beach style bungalow homes that just happen to sit next to the bay which also offers a small sandy beach area. 

Since 1990, there

A new loft listing just came on the market in this area and it features two bedrooms with 2,450 square feet of living space.  This is a very

The Bayshores community is located on the north side of the channel as Pacific Coast Highway crosses over the Newport Bay.  Within this gated community is approximately 249 homes with a small percentage of 14 homes that are actually located directly on the bay front.  These water front homes are simply stunning and can have views of the neighboring communities of Linda Isle, Harbor Island and Lido Island which are also surrounded by the Newport Bay.  During the annual Newport Beach Boat Parade these homes have one of the best vantage points for watching the boats come and down the channel.
