About Pelican Crest
Pelican Crest is a guard-gated enclave of large custom estates in Newport Coast, near The Resort at Pelican Hill and above Pacific Coast Highway. It sits in the top tier of the Newport Coast market, with wide views of the coastline and, from many lots, Catalina Island.
Housing Stock
Homes are custom estates, many in the Mediterranean styles of the community's early years and a growing number remodeled or rebuilt with contemporary interiors. Homes and lots are among the largest in Newport Coast, and position on the hill, along with how wide and unobstructed the view is, sets the price.
Lifestyle & Amenities
The Resort at Pelican Hill, with its golf, dining and spa, is minutes away, as are Crystal Cove State Park and the beaches along Pacific Coast Highway. Corona del Mar and Fashion Island are a short drive. Pelican Crest is in the Newport-Mesa Unified School District.
Neighborhoods & Enclaves
Ocean-Front Rows
Estates with unobstructed coastline and Catalina views, the top of the market.
Upper Streets
Homes higher on the hill with wide, elevated views.
Remodeled Estates
Original estates updated with contemporary interiors.
What Sets the Market Apart
- View arc and position on the hill matter more here than almost anywhere in Newport Coast.
- Few homes and long ownership mean listings are rare and often come to market quietly.
- HOA dues and Mello-Roos assessments add to carrying costs; confirm them for each property.
