Modern & Contemporary Homes for Sale in Newport Beach

Newport Beach has been rebuilding for decades, and much of what replaces older homes is contemporary: glass walls toward the water, flat roofs with decks and open plans. The harbor islands and the Balboa Peninsula have some of the most striking new homes, built to the limits of narrow lots.

Above the harbor, Newport Heights and Cliff Haven, with larger lots, are among the most active rebuild markets in the city, and Dover Shores pairs new contemporary homes with the Back Bay.

Neighborhood guides: Newport Heights, Cliff Haven, Dover Shores, Lido Isle.
