About Flower Streets
The Flower Streets are the heart of Corona del Mar: the village grid of streets named, in alphabetical order, from Acacia to Poppy, running from Coast Highway down toward Ocean Boulevard and the beach. Corona del Mar was founded in 1904 and became part of Newport Beach in 1924, and the flower names first appeared on a 1922 map.
Housing Stock
Most lots in the original tract are about 30 by 120 feet and zoned for two units, so the streets mix original beach cottages, front-and-back houses and duplexes, and larger custom homes built lot line to lot line. Hundreds of cottages from the 1910s through the 1950s still stand, though more are replaced every year. Homes south of Coast Highway, and especially near Ocean Boulevard and the bluffs, set the top of the market; CRMLS lists the village in two parts, south of PCH and north of PCH.
Lifestyle & Amenities
Corona del Mar State Beach, Little Corona and the Inspiration Point overlook are at the bottom of the streets, and the shops and restaurants along Coast Highway are a short walk. Sherman Library & Gardens is in the village. The Flower Streets are served by Harbor View Elementary and Corona del Mar Middle and High School in the Newport-Mesa Unified School District.

What Sets the Market Apart
- Two-unit zoning on 30-foot lots means a duplex or front-and-back house can carry more value than a single cottage.
- Original cottages are disappearing, and buyers increasingly pay for the ones that remain intact.
- Walking distance to the beach and village, and which side of Coast Highway a home is on, drive price.
