Newport Coast homes are some of the most desirable real estate properties in the country, and perhaps even the world. Newport Coast is an exclusive residential community that sits along the coast between Corona del Mar and Laguna Beach. Newport Coast is a true southern California gem, and some people would have no problem comparing it to the French Riviera, as the scenery, the ocean, and the homes are all breathtaking. Newport Coast real estate is a thriving market that caters to the upper-income consumer.
It goes without saying that numerous Newport Coast homes are beautiful estates that sit on bluffs overlooking the surf and sand. A good portion of the homes boast a European influence, such as Tuscan or Provençal. Many families with children move into the area because Newport Coast public schools are excellent (they fall within the Newport-Mesa Unified School District), the crime rate in the area is low, and the climate is warm and sunny year round.
Furthermore, owners of Newport Coast homes really do not have to go far to have some fun, as their community has a plethora of amenities. There is a fire station, a shopping center, numerous parks, pools, a world-class golf course, and of course the beach. Residents are only a short drive away from Fashion Island. This shopping mecca is home to some of the most upscale shops, including Neiman Marcus, Saks, and a host of other neat boutiques. In addition, there are a plethora of cafes and gourmet restaurants in and around Fashion Island, so there is always a place to grab a bite to eat when hunger strikes. Industries that provide employment in this area include science, finance, insurance, real estate, rental and leasing, education, health, and social services.
