Building a life in northern Newport Beach
Harbor Ridge has changed over the years, but its main selling point remains the same. “It was originally built in the 1980s. The area had very large lots, so people could build their dream homes here,” says Rob Montgomery with Arbor Real Estate. He’s lived in Newport Beach for over 30 years, and he’s been a real estate agent for over 20. “Now, those homes are roughly 50 years old, and in the last 10 years, we’ve seen a lot of them redeveloped or rebuilt. It’s still a place where someone can create their dream home.” These dream homes have translated to an upscale lifestyle. Harbor Ridge is guard-gated and has private amenities, and it’s close to the city’s most popular outdoor mall. Newport Beach and its sand are just south, visible from some parts of the neighborhood.
Harbor Ridge in Newport is known for its exclusivity, security, and stunning coastal scenery.

Panoramic vistas in Harbor Ridge
Besides large lots, people buy in Harbor Ridge for the views. This neighborhood is elevated — as the name implies — on a ridgeline, so second-story homes can have vistas of the Pacific Ocean, Newport Harbor and neighboring communities. These estates make up a bulk of the area and range from $3 million to $15 million. The highest-end homes have over 7,000 square feet of interior space; backyards are wooded, often featuring pools and tennis courts. Townhomes are scattered throughout the neighborhood, but they’re mostly on the north and south sides. These subdivisions, Harbor Ridge Knoll and Harbor Ridge Crest, have fewer homes and are more packed together. They’re priced between $1.5 million and $4 million. Harbor Ridge has five homeowners associations with different fees and perks, but they’re all a part of the Harbor Ridge Master Association. Harbor Ridge has a CAP Index Crime Score of 2 out of 10, lower than the national average of 4.

Close to neighborhood parks and Corona del Mar Beach
Green spaces are walkable from any side of Harbor Ridge. The San Joaquin Reservoir is east with a paved path, while San Miguel Park is west with basketball and handball courts. Bonita Canyon Sports Park has several baseball fields for Little Leaguers on the north side, while Spyglass Hill Park has a playground and multiuse field to the south. Inside the gates of Harbor Ridge, residents have private tennis courts, pools and spas included in their HOA dues. Corona del Mar State Beach Park is about 3 miles south of the neighborhood on the Pacific Ocean, separated from Newport Beach by a jetty. “It’s crowded during summer, but it’s usually calm during the off-season. People don’t usually surf there, but you might see some bodyboarding, skimboarding and boogieboarding,” Montgomery says.
