The Cape Cod house began in colonial New England as a simple, symmetrical cottage with a steep gabled roof and a central chimney. On the Southern California coast it became a beach style: shingle or board-and-batten siding, white trim, dormers, and porches and window boxes facing the street.
Cape Cod and East Coast style homes are found from Manhattan Beach to Newport Beach and Laguna Beach, both as older cottages and as new homes built in the style. This page gathers the ones for sale, highest price first.

What to Know Before You Buy
- Wood shingles and siding need regular care near the ocean; ask when they were last sealed or replaced.
- Many Cape Cod homes on the coast are new builds in the style; the year built tells you which.
- Dormers and steep roofs can make upper rooms feel smaller; check the ceiling heights.
