About Pacific Ridge
Pacific Ridge is a guard-gated community of more than 300 single-family homes on a hilltop in Newport Coast. It is made up of five villages: Belcara, Costa Azul, Cypress, Fiano and Pienza. Many homes look out over the canyons to the ocean and, from select lots, Catalina Island.
Housing Stock
Homes are detached, single-family houses in Tuscan, Spanish, Mediterranean and Santa Barbara styles, most built in the mid-2000s, with Fiano added later by The New Home Company. Each village has its own floor plans and size range, from three-bedroom homes to larger four- to seven-bedroom plans in Costa Azul, and view is the biggest difference in price from one home to the next.
Lifestyle & Amenities
The Pacific Ridge association runs a recreation center with a pool, spa and barbecue areas, and hiking and biking trails lead toward Crystal Cove State Park. The Resort at Pelican Hill, Fashion Island and the beaches along Pacific Coast Highway are a short drive, as is the 73 toll road to John Wayne Airport. Pacific Ridge is in the Newport-Mesa Unified School District.
Neighborhoods & Enclaves

What Sets the Market Apart
- The five villages share a gate and recreation center but differ in size and price, so compare a home with sales in its own village.
- Ocean and Catalina views command a clear premium over canyon views.
- HOA dues and Mello-Roos assessments add to carrying costs; confirm them for each property.
