            <title>Balboa Peninsula Bay Front Views</title>
            <description> <![CDATA[ 
The Balboa Peninsula is one of the popular spots to be during the annual Christmas Boat Parade that happens every year in Newport Beach, California.  Beyond that, living on the water in this section of Newport Beach is unique to other water front areas in the city.  The Balboa Peninsula Point is located at the tip where the Newport Bay channel meets the Pacific Ocean.  For those who own a boat this is ideal and very convenient to head out to the Pacific Ocean.  For view purposes, a lot of the properties will have direct bay front views as well as ocean views.


A new listing has just come on the market that is almost located at the very tip of the Point and built in the Spanish style.  I have shown this home many times before and love the wood beam ceilings and the rich hardwood flooring.  The Master bedroom is located upstairs and has a great vantage point that overlooks the bay.  Also, the lot itself is very large and covers a rare 50 foot wide lot that contains a huge patio area and private boat dock.  The home is currently on the market for $6,750,000 and is a well maintained home.  For a private showing on this home or any questions about waterfront homes in Newport Beach make sure to contact us at 949-444-1901 today.

            <title>Newport Beach Beachfront Homes Near Huntington Beach, CA</title>
            <description> <![CDATA[ 
Many of our beach towns in Southern California run together and it's sometimes hard to know where one beach town ends and another one begins.  Newport Beach is unique as it has clear distinguishing landmarks that separate Laguna Beach to the south and Huntington Beach to the north.  To the south, the Crystal Cove state beach area where you will only find the sandy beach and a preserved wildlife area is the last thing you will see before you enter the community of Laguna Beach.  To the north, the beachfront homes between Newport &amp; Huntington Beach are separated by the Santa Ana River the clearly divides the two beach towns.


The beachfront homes at the border of the Huntington Beach city line have many unique advantages to them.  For starters, the area is predominately more private than homes located near the Pier that have more tourist and foot traffic along the boardwalk.  You won't see a lot of people on the beach and sand stretches for miles in the remote area.  If you are looking for a private and serene location then the north side of Newport Beach is the place for you.  Home prices for beachfront homes is consistent in this area with other beachfront homes near the Newport Beach pier and will start in the mid $2 million dollar range and go as high as $10 million dollars.  Huntington Beach will also have a nice selection of beach front homes as well starting the in the $2 million dollar range as well.  Beach front rental homes typically will start in the $3,000 a month for a long term rental.  If you have any questions regarding these luxury properties please contact us today.  We know the Newport Beach Real Estate market well and look forward to assisting you!
