One of Orange County’s sparkling gems, it’s best known for its upscale shopping and dining, as well as some of the best beachfront luxury real estate in all of Southern California. The median home price for Newport Beach real estate lies around $1.7 million, but that’s only for the average home in the market. Luxury properties in the city can sell for as much as $50 million. Like most of the California coast, Newport Beach started out as a part of a sprawling land grant, this one awarded to Jose Antonio Yorba. Eventually, Newport Beach transformed into an affluent community of over 80,000 residents, spread across highly coveted neighborhoods like Corona del Mar, Balboa Island, and Pelican Hill.
