Corona del Mar is the village inside Newport Beach. Its two main beaches, Big Corona and Little Corona, sit below dramatic bluffs, and Pacific Coast Highway runs through a small-town strip of cafes, galleries and long-time family restaurants. You can walk from a Flower Streets cottage to the sand in minutes.
Our office is on East Coast Highway, right in the village, so this is home turf. We know which streets catch the ocean breeze, which blocks hold the best views and how each tract trades. Whether you're buying your first CdM cottage or selling a view home in Harbor View, we'll make the process feel simple.
Who it's for: Buyers who want a walkable beach village with a strong sense of community, and who value an ocean view, strong schools and a short drive to everything else in Newport.

Always confirm school boundaries for a specific address with the district.
On the Flower Streets, much of the value is in the land, and lots are small. Before you buy a cottage to rebuild, check the city's height limits and setbacks for that block, and whether nearby homes have already blocked your future view.
