About Pelican Hill
Pelican Hill is a guard-gated community on the hills above The Resort at Pelican Hill and its two golf courses, and one of the original premium enclaves of Newport Coast. It takes in several gated villages of large estate homes, many with views of the ocean, Catalina Island and the fairways.
Housing Stock
Mediterranean-style estates from the community's early phases set the character, and many have since been remodeled. Golf-course frontage and ocean views carry the premium, and the villages differ in lot size, home size and price, so each is best compared with its own sales.
Lifestyle & Amenities
The Resort at Pelican Hill is the neighborhood's anchor, with golf, dining and a spa. Crystal Cove State Park and the beaches along Pacific Coast Highway are minutes away, and the Newport Coast Shopping Center covers errands. Pelican Hill is in the Newport-Mesa Unified School District.
Neighborhoods & Enclaves
Golf-Course Homes
Homes on or overlooking the Pelican Hill fairways.
Ocean-View Estates
Homes with coastline and Catalina views, the top of the market.
Gated Villages
Separate gated villages, each with its own size and price range.
What Sets the Market Apart
- Golf-course frontage and ocean views each carry their own premium, and the best homes have both.
- The villages trade at different levels, so compare a home with sales in its own village.
- HOA dues and Mello-Roos assessments add to carrying costs; confirm them for each property.
