Newport Beach is Orange County’s signature coastal city, with 10 miles of beaches, the largest recreational harbor on the West Coast and some of the highest home values in the state. Each area has its own character: the Balboa Peninsula and Balboa Island for beach-cottage and harbor-front living, Corona del Mar for village charm and ocean-view bluffs, Newport Coast for gated hillside estates, and Dover Shores and the Back Bay for waterfront homes close to Fashion Island.
