We recently received a call from a client who wanted to buy a condo in Newport Beach.  Her only stipulation that there needed to be a guard attendant beyond the gated entrance.  In Newport Beach there a lot of 24 hour guard gated communities but they almost all tend to be for residential single family homes.  There are two very popular communities for those looking for a gate attendant for a condo development in Newport Beach and are described here.

By far, the very best place to start you search is the Sea Island community in Newport Beach.  This comes with a 24 hour guard gate attendant with homes that can offer golf course, city light and back bay views.  There are two different neighborhoods in Sea Island so there tends to be a good selection of

Doing a 1031 exchange can be very stressful due to the time constraints you have to locate and close on a property.  The times frames are basically 45 days to identify up to 3 properties and then to close on one of those with 180 days after closing escrow on the previous property.  I have gone through this process several times and it can be really crazy during those 45 days in trying to locate the perfect exchange property.  There are several homes throughout the Newport Beach area that are being marketed by the owners real estate agents as potential 1031 exchange properties.  Of course, a real estate agent can say a property is a good investment but ultimately it's up to the buyer to determine this.

One of the most common requests we get from clients looking for a home is having a main floor master bedroom.  This is especially true for baby boomers who are looking to settle in their retirement home but have concerns about having to go up and down the stairs.  Having a main floor bedroom still allows the buyer to buy a larger home with plenty of room for incoming guests and additional family members.

There are several neighborhoods that offer a downstairs Master bedroom in their floor plans if you know where to look.  Communities like Big Canyon offer large single family two story homes that come with a downstairs Master.  Other great options found in the Newport Beach area for residential single family homes would be the Cliffhaven and Lido Isle

The Harbor Ridge Crest neighborhood is a small pocket of homes located next to the San Joaquin Reservoir in the Harbor Ridge area of Newport Beach.  Harbor Ridge is a guard gated neighborhood that is well regarded as one of the most exclusive gated communities in the central part of Newport Beach.  Many of the Crest homes have reservoir views which is often referred to as a "lake-like" formation.  Over the last four months the water level has dropped significantly and has lost almost half of what is used to store.  If you look at the photo below of the Reservoir that original water line early this year was right up to the white mark. 

Real Estate prices in the Crest neighborhood will often range anywhere from $975,000 to $1,495,000.  These are

If you are like most home buyers acquiring a beach property with an ocean view is something to be desired.  In Newport Beach, you will find many different areas and communities where you can find an ocean view property.  If you are in the market to live in a more exclusive gated community and desire an ocean view then there is no better place to start than the Harbor Ridge community.  Harbor Ridge is located in the East Bluff Harbor View area of Newport Beach with awe inspiring views of the Pacific Ocean.  The community is gated and is home to some of the best ocean view properties currently on the market.  A newly listed Harbor Ridge ocean view home has just come on the market that boasts Newport Harbor, Ocean, Catalina & City Light Views for $3,795,000. …
