About Cliff Haven
Cliff Haven is a compact neighborhood of single-family homes above Mariners' Mile, next to Newport Heights. Its roughly 340 houses sit on lots of about 7,000 to 11,000 square feet, a size that has made it one of the most active rebuild markets in central Newport Beach.
Housing Stock
Most homes were built in the late 1940s and early 1950s, and many have been rebuilt in the last fifteen years. The result is a mix of original two- and three-bedroom houses and large new construction on the same streets. Where a home sits within Cliff Haven matters: the city's housing overlay applies to specific parcels near Dover Drive, and homes on the interior streets are a different product from a corner lot facing new townhome development.
Lifestyle & Amenities
Residents are close to Newport Harbor High School and Ensign Middle School, the restaurants and marinas of Mariners' Mile, and the shops along 17th Street. The beaches of the Peninsula are a short drive, while the neighborhood itself stays residential and quiet.
Neighborhoods & Enclaves
Interior Streets
Single-family blocks away from the overlay parcels, where most rebuilds happen.
Dover Drive Edge
Homes nearest the housing overlay parcels and new townhome development.
Original Homes
Post-war houses on full-size lots, often priced as rebuild opportunities.
What Sets the Market Apart
- The housing overlay affects specific parcels, not the whole neighborhood, and comps should reflect that.
- Land value sets the floor for original homes on full-size lots.
- New construction and original homes trade as different products, even on the same block.

From Kyle
Kyle's Take on Cliff Haven
When a buyer's agent asks where the comp set for a Cliff Haven listing actually ends, the honest answer used to be a shrug and a street name. Now it has a legal answer. The housing overlay near Dover Drive survived its court challenge, and two townhome projects totaling 63 homes are moving forward inside it.
If you're selling in Cliff Haven, the right move is not to pretend that pipeline doesn't exist. Buyers' agents already know how to look it up. The right move is to argue where the line actually falls. For most of Cliff Haven it runs at Kings Place and St. Andrews Road, not at Dover Drive itself, and a home on the interior streets is not the same product as a corner lot facing new construction. Knowing that boundary, and being able to show it on the zoning map, is what holds a price.

How does the housing overlay affect Cliff Haven?
Newport Beach's HO-3 Dover-Westcliff Housing Opportunity Overlay applies to specific parcels near Dover Drive, and a 2025 court ruling left it in place. Two townhome projects inside it total 63 attached homes. Homes on Cliff Haven's interior streets, away from those parcels, are a different product from a corner lot facing new construction, and comparable sales should reflect that.
