Coastal Orange County has more guard-gated communities than almost anywhere in California. Some are small enclaves of a few dozen estates; others, like the communities of Newport Coast, are entire hillsides of neighborhoods behind staffed gates. A few gated communities, including Emerald Bay and Three Arch Bay in Laguna Beach and Monarch Bay in Dana Point, add a private beach.
This guide lists the guard-gated communities with their own pages on this site, by city, and the guard-gated homes for sale in each city, updated throughout the day.

Guard-Gated Communities by City
What to Know Before You Buy
- Guard gates are run by the homeowners association; dues pay for staff, roads and common areas, so compare dues along with prices.
- Ask for the association's budget, reserves and any planned special assessments.
- Rules on rentals, remodels, landscaping and guests vary by community; read them before you buy.
- Some gates are staffed around the clock and others part of the day; ask how the gate works.
