Walkable schools and more green space in Newport Beach's East Bluff
East Bluff is one of Newport Beach's most sought-after neighborhoods. It's especially desired for its planned layout that places parks, schools, shopping and athletic clubs within the community. "People love it for that planned community feel," says Realtor Mary Golding, who's been selling in Newport Beach since 2010. "You've got some of Newport Beach's prettiest parks and best schools right in the neighborhood. A lot of kids walk to the parks and schools because it's all right there." Another one of East Bluff's amenities is its larger lot sizes. "East Bluff's prices are normal for Newport Beach, but you get noticeably more yard space than even in some of Newport Beach's most expensive areas," says Golding. East Bluff's lawns aren't expansive, but having a grassy front lawn and sizable backyard adds to the neighborhood's residential feeling.
In addition to its various architectural styles, Eastbluff features larger split-level homes, offering expansive living spaces with a perfect balance of privacy and open-concept design, ideal for family living.
Children particularly enjoy the playground and the ample sand available for play at Eastbluff Park, a staple for Eastbluff residents.

Suburban yard space and evolving home styles
East Bluff has been one of Newport Beach's most desired communities for decades. "It was developed in the 1960s by two of Orange County's most popular builders at the time," says Golding. "But it doesn't look old because many homes have been rebuilt and remodeled." The neighborhood's roomy suburban streetscape has continually drawn buyers, leading to 1960s ranch-style and split-level homes evolving into large Spanish Revivals and contemporary mansions. Still, many 1960s homes remain and range from $2.5 million to $3.5 million. Remodeled homes and newly constructed mansions can cost $4 million to over $5 million. The east side of the neighborhood, across Eastbluff Drive, is comprised of 1960s Mediterranean-style condos and attached-single-family homes. They sit along looping drives, some surrounding shared lawn area and pools and others facing Newport Back Bay — the local term for Upper Newport Bay. Walking paths cut through the community lawn spaces, connecting homes to East Bluff's schools and amenities. Smaller condos in organized rows range from $1 million to $1.5 million. Condos with yard space and driveways can start around $1.5 million, while larger five-bedroom models and those facing Back Bay can cost over $3 million.
Eastbluff features contemporary mansions that seamlessly blend modern design with coastal elegance, offering expansive living spaces and panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean and Newport Back Bay.
The Eastbluff neighborhood in Newport Beach is home to charming ranch-style homes, known for their single-story designs, spacious layouts, and seamless connection to the surrounding natural beauty.

Students looking to follow the school's path of on-screen prowess can work at the school's student-run news station, Trident TV.

The Newport Beach Tennis Club is also on the west side. Members of this private club have access to 19 fully lit courts and one stadium court, along with a clubhouse and swimming pool.
