The neighborhoods
Newport Beach includes Corona del Mar, Balboa Island and the harbor islands, the Balboa Peninsula, Newport Heights, Eastbluff and the gated communities of Newport Coast. Prices vary enormously between them, so the citywide median hides more than it shows.
What the $1.5M to $4M range means here
In Newport, this range typically covers condos and townhomes, smaller homes and cottages, and single-family homes in inland neighborhoods. Waterfront and Newport Coast estates usually sit well above it. A focused search, by neighborhood and home type, saves a lot of time.
Schools
Most of Newport Beach is served by the Newport-Mesa Unified School District, including Newport Harbor High and Corona del Mar High. Confirm boundaries for each address with the district.
