About Crystal Cove

Crystal Cove is a guard-gated community in the hills of Newport Coast, beside Crystal Cove State Park and the coastline between Corona del Mar and Laguna Beach. Developed by the Irvine Company, it holds more than 700 homes and some of the largest and most valuable houses on the Orange County coast.

Housing Stock

Homes here are generally newer and larger than in neighboring Pelican Hill and Pelican Crest, from builder-designed estates to fully custom homes on view lots. CRMLS lists them by village, including Seabourn, Seascape, Windward, Oceana, Watermark and the Crystal Cove Estate Collection. The Irvine Company sold the last of its lots years ago, so new supply comes only from resales and rebuilds. Ocean and coastline views are common, and how wide and unobstructed a lot's view is does more to set its price than square footage.

Lifestyle & Amenities

Crystal Cove State Park is next door, with its beaches, tide pools and backcountry trails, and the Crystal Cove Shopping Center on Pacific Coast Highway covers dining and errands. The Resort at Pelican Hill is a short drive. Crystal Cove is in the Newport-Mesa Unified School District.

Neighborhoods & Enclaves

Ocean-View Lots

Homes facing the coast, with the widest views and the highest prices.

Partial and Canyon Views

Homes with filtered ocean or canyon views at a lower entry point.

Custom Rebuilds

Newer custom homes built on original lots, setting the top of the market.

What Sets the Market Apart

  • View width and lot elevation drive price more than square footage.
  • With the original lots sold, new homes come only from resales and rebuilds, which keeps supply tight.
  • HOA dues and Mello-Roos assessments add to carrying costs and differ from home to home, so confirm them for each property.
