Newport Beach Bay-front homes are one of the most desirable properties on the Orange County Coast. While some think that driving to the peninsula point takes too long, it's well worth the views when you arrive. (It really just takes about 10 minutes) but when you live in Newport everything is so close, locals don't like to drive. At the peninsula point you may either live on the ocean front or on the bay front. Today I want to talk about the bay-front homes. Yesterday during Realtors preview I was privileged to view some of the best locations and views in Newport Beach.  I first arrived at a home on one-half acre on the bay! This multiple lot bay front property is on the market for the first time in 75 years. The property comes with conceptual plans for an Eastern Seaboard style residen... 10/10/2009

  Balboa Island a beautiful location! A summer vacation place. A spot I get to visit often. I love taking walks on the Island and really love to shop here. So this morning my daughter, husband and I took our 3 dogs for a walk. It was beautiful! As usual there were people every where. Our first stop was Starbucks and then we went on to walk along the canal.           Here's a shot of the canal looking out to the Newport Harbor. It's hard to believe that once parcels of land use to cost $250.00 here on Balboa Island. Cottages and Mansions now start $1,300,000 all the way up to $10,000,000. The streets are named after stones: Crystal, Amethyst, Emerald and so on. Parking is not always easy on the Island especially on weekends and holidays.           Homes along the bay front have their ow... 10/04/2009

Welcome to Balboa Island where everyday is a  vacation day. Living on Balboa Island has many benefits. Some of them are the weather, walking to coffee, lunch, dinner, shopping and exercise.
