A scenic five-mile stretch between Newport Harbor and the Pacific Ocean, Balboa Peninsula offers iconic coastal living with some of the most sought-after harborfront and beachfront homes in Southern California.
Rich in Newport Beach history dating back to the late 1860s, the Peninsula has evolved into a world-class destination known for luxury real estate, endless shoreline views, and a vibrant beach lifestyle. With Newport Harbor on one side and wide sandy beaches on the other, residents enjoy the best of both waterfront worlds. The neighborhood is also home to beloved landmarks including the Balboa Fun Zone, the historic Balboa Ferry, and two classic piers — Newport Pier and Balboa Pier — each surrounded by local dining, shops, and entertainment.

Real estate on Balboa Peninsula is primarily single-family homes, with many residences built as or zoned for duplexes. As one of the few Newport Beach neighborhoods where short-term lodging is permitted, the Peninsula remains highly attractive for both primary residences and investment properties. Many homes are oceanfront or bayfront, and every residence is within easy walking or biking distance to the beach or harbor.
