About The Castaways

The Castaways is a gated community on the bluffs above the Upper Newport Bay, celebrated for its panoramic views across the harbor. It offers a quiet hillside setting just minutes from the energy of the waterfront.

Housing Stock

Homes are generally larger custom and semi-custom residences designed to take in the view, with terraces and outdoor living spaces facing the bay. Bluff-edge positions with the widest views form the top of the market.

Lifestyle & Amenities

Castaways Park, with its bluff-top trails and views over the bay, is next door. Mariners' Mile, Westcliff shopping, and the Back Bay are close by, and the beaches of the Peninsula are a short drive.

Neighborhoods & Enclaves

Bluff-Edge Homes

Homes on the edge with the widest harbor and bay views.

Interior Homes

Homes inside the gate with filtered or partial views.

Park-Adjacent

Homes nearest Castaways Park and its trails.

What Sets the Market Apart

  • View width and direction separate one home from the next.
  • The gate adds privacy that most nearby neighborhoods do not have.
  • A small inventory means few comparable sales in any given year.
