Newport Coast (Pelican Crest, Pelican Hill).

Our practice in Orange County, applied to Newport Coast (Pelican Crest, Pelican Hill).

The Newport Coast corridor — from Crystal Cove through Pelican Hill and Newport Coast proper to the backbays of Harbor Island and Linda Isle — is one of the most sustained custom-luxury markets in California. Median prices on the $5M+ tier hover around $12M. Newport Beach alone averages fifty new listings above $5M per month. The design ceiling runs high — new builds routinely clear $25M — and the clientele is sophisticated, well-traveled, and fluent in luxury expectation.

Laguna Beach, Emerald Bay, and Crystal Cove extend the market south with smaller parcels, stronger ocean-orientation, and a slightly more restrained aesthetic register. Our approach here moves toward Pacific-coastal modern with Mediterranean bones — the detail vocabulary of a Montecito estate scaled to a bluff-top ocean view.
