Crystal Cove cultivates premium Newport Beach real estate
On the sun-soaked Pacific Coast, Crystal Cove provides residents with some of Newport Beach’s premium real estate. Homes face Crystal Cove Beach, one of Southern California’s state parks. Lee Ann Canaday, who has been selling homes in Orange County for 30 years, says, “It’s some of the most expensive real estate in Orange County, and part of what people are paying for is the exclusivity. The homes are beautiful, and the neighborhood has great amenities.”
Crystal Cove is a gated community with estates that overlook the ocean.
Most homes in Crystal Cove feature Mediterranean or Spanish influences.

State park, neighborhood parks and private pool
The hillside neighborhood faces Crystal Cove State Park, providing residents scenic views of the rolling Pacific. While the state park is public, the neighborhood’s overlook vistas feel exclusive. When residents are ready to go for a walk on the beach or stand in the surf, Crystal Cove Beach is easily accessible via a tunnel running underneath the highway. Residents can hang out in the neighborhood at Crystal Cove’s handful of parks. Residents play friendly games of tennis or basketball at the neighborhood courts. Hikers enjoy Brian’s Head Trailhead, which winds around the private community. Residents also have access to the Crystal Cove Canyon Club. Canaday says, “Nearly everyone has their own pool, but it is nice to spend time at the community pool. And it’s a beautiful pool—it’s like the Ritz Carlton.”
The Crystal Cove Historic District has historical buildings, as well as shops and dining.

Priceless views for a multimillion-dollar price
Streets and sidewalks curve through the neighborhood's quiet streets, past meticulously manicured lawns. Groomed trees and bright green grass, maintained to the specifications of the homeowners association guidelines, give each home a refined air tangible from the street. Each home in the neighborhood is expansive, with thousands of square footage and multiple bedrooms. Stucco siding and red tile roofs of the neighborhood homes evoke Mediterranean villas. Canaday says the location is key, as the incredible ocean views entice buyers. Although the views are priceless, Crystal Cove homes come with a multimillion-dollar price tag. Smaller homes start at over $10 million, but the larger palatial villas often exceed $50 million.
In Crystal Cove, no expense is spared in creating an atmosphere of luxury and comfort.

Private clubs in the gated community
Although the community doesn’t sponsor large events for neighbors, residents still enjoy socializing. “There are more private events than community events, but it's a very friendly community,” says Canaday. “People walk together in big walking clubs. People have all sorts of little clubs and teas and parties among themselves. All the different interest groups can find their niche.” Residents venture outside of the neighborhood to Newport Beach for more to do.
