Gated communities in the Newport Coast area
Nestled in the idyllic Newport Coast area, the Newport Ridge neighborhood has a network of gated communities with townhouses, single-family estates and apartments. This desirable residential suburb was developed just before the turn of the 21st century and offers modern builds and community amenities. The southern California coast and Crystal Cove State Beach are less than 4 miles away. “Newport Coast is one of the many communities that falls under the Newport Beach umbrella, but it is still a part of the city,” says Mary Craig, an assistant at the Newport Coast Community Center. Students in this area are zoned for the Newport-Mesa Unified School District, which receives an overall A rating from Niche. Newport Ridge has an overall CAP Index crime score of 1 out of 10, significantly lower than the national figure of 4.
Mediterranean single-family estates start at $2.2 million
Newport Ridge consists of several private residential communities, nearly all of which are full of Spanish townhouses and Mediterranean estates. One of the communities is an apartment complex bearing the neighborhood’s name: Newport Ridge Apartment Homes. All of Newport Ridge's communities are meticulously landscaped and planned out, typically revolving around a resident-only amenity like a swimming pool or clubhouse. Single-family estates and townhouses range from about $1.5 million to $4.6 million. Listings here spend an average of 22 days on the market before selling, less than half the national average of 45 days.
