Overview
About Corona del Mar
The City of Newport Beach maps the village grid as the Corona del Mar Village Community Association: 3,219 residential units on the city's record, not gated, in Council District 6, carrying 3,242 address points on 33 street names. The plan is the village's signature. Seventeen avenues and drives are named for plants and flowers in alphabetical order from Acacia to Poppy, crossed by First through Fifth Avenue, Ocean Boulevard, Bayside Drive, Seaview Avenue and Pacific Drive, with Marguerite Avenue carrying more addresses than any other street at 258. The wider area the city labels Corona del Mar holds 25 separate association polygons, among them Irvine Terrace at 389 units, Spyglass Hill at 349, Jasmine Creek at 329 and Cameo at 319, seven of the 25 recorded as gated, so an address here may sit under the village association, under one of the others, or under none.
Two beaches define the shoreline. Corona del Mar State Beach, known as Big Corona, is a city-operated half mile of sand immediately south of the harbor entrance, served by a 540-space lot and holding part of the roughly 70 fire rings the city shares between here and the Balboa Pier. Little Corona, entered by a walkway at Poppy Avenue, is a cove of rocky intertidal reefs with the Newport Beach Marine Conservation Area offshore, whose tide pools are looked after by the city's Tidepool Ranger volunteers. A half-mile bluff-top view park runs above them from Lookout Point to Inspiration Point, and seven city parks sit entirely inside the area, the largest Grant Howald at 7.86 acres. The Coast Highway corridor between Avocado Avenue and Hazel Drive holds the retail village, the Sherman Library and Gardens at 2647 East Coast Highway and the city's OASIS Senior Center. Schools are Harbor View or Lincoln Elementary by address, then the Corona del Mar 7-12 campus.

How Corona del Mar was built
On 29 June 1904 George E. Hart signed for a corner of the Irvine Ranch, a little over seven hundred acres of oceanfront, and filed his subdivision map that September. He called it Corona del Mar, crown of the sea. His street plan was flatly practical: numbered streets running from 27th to 43rd, laid out to serve an ocean pier he intended to build and the dirt routes in from the valley. Storms wrecked the half built pier, the lots did not sell, and after more than a decade Hart gave up and sold out in 1915.
The F. D. Cornell Company took the land that year, trading five thousand acres in Riverside County for the four hundred that were left, and it was Cornell that replaced Hart's numbers with flowers. The flower names first show up on a resubdivision map drawn in 1922 to make room for the new Coast Highway, running Acacia through Poppy, every one of them a flower or something that bears one. One name changed almost at once: Poinsettia Avenue was laid out as Pansy and renamed soon after. The Coast Highway itself opened through in 1926 and finally connected the village to the rest of the county.

Schools serving Corona del Mar
Corona del Mar addresses do not all run through the same elementary school. Newport-Mesa Unified's own locator, queried at four interior points on August 17 of 2026, returned Harbor View Elementary for the village grid, Jasmine Creek and the Cameo points, and Abraham Lincoln Elementary for the Irvine Terrace point. Both elementary attendance areas feed Corona del Mar Middle and High School, one continuous 7-12 campus. The district adjusts boundaries periodically, so confirm the current assignment for a specific address with Newport-Mesa Unified before relying on it.

FAQs
Common questions about Corona del Mar
What does a home in Corona del Mar sell for?
One hundred twenty-two homes closed between January 1 and August 17 of 2026, at a median of $3,650,000, or $2,013 a square foot on a median size of 1,914 square feet. The range ran from $1,125,000 to $48,500,000. 42.6% of the closings landed between $3,000,000 and $5,000,000 and 27.9% above $5,000,000, with 22.1% between $2,000,000 and $3,000,000 and 7.4% between $1,000,000 and $2,000,000. Half of the group took 40 days or longer to reach escrow and the closings landed at 96.4% of list price, with 48 homes active alongside them.
What kinds of homes change hands here?
More attached than detached, which is what the median hides. Of the 122 closings, 61 were condominiums, 50 were detached single family homes, 9 were duplexes and 2 were townhomes or triplexes. The village grid is a small-lot plan and much of what trades on it is one unit of two on a single lot rather than a whole house, so a price per square foot from one address rarely transfers cleanly to the next. The hillside associations east of the village trade as detached homes on larger lots.
What are the beaches like?
Corona del Mar State Beach, Big Corona, is a half mile of sand immediately south of the Newport Harbor entrance, operated by the City of Newport Beach, reached by an access road near Ocean Boulevard and Jasmine Avenue and by walkways at the Lookout Point and Inspiration Point view parks. It has a 540-space lot and shares roughly 70 fire rings with the Balboa Pier area. Little Corona, down a walkway at Poppy Avenue, is a smaller cove with rocky intertidal reefs; its tide pools draw thousands of visitors a year and the city's trained Tidepool Ranger volunteers work them. On the bay side, China Cove is reached from Cove Street and Shell Street, and Pirate's Cove by trail from Lookout Point.
Which association governs a Corona del Mar address?
There are 25 to choose from. The village grid itself is the Corona del Mar Village Community Association, 3,219 residential units on the city's record and not gated. Beyond it the city maps Irvine Terrace at 389 units, Spyglass Hill at 349, Jasmine Creek at 329, Cameo at 319, Corona Highlands at 239, Shore Cliffs at 143 and the Harbor View Hills associations, running from the harbor entrance up into the hillside tracts. Seven of the 25 are recorded as gated, Jasmine Creek and Channel Reef among them. Which one an address falls in decides its governing documents, and none of them publishes an assessment amount, so the monthly cost comes from that address's own documents.
Which schools serve Corona del Mar?
Not all addresses run through the same elementary school. Newport-Mesa Unified's own locator, queried at four interior points, returned Harbor View Elementary for the village grid, Jasmine Creek and the Cameo points, and Abraham Lincoln Elementary for the Irvine Terrace point. Harbor View enrolls 369 students in grades TK through 6 with 82% meeting or exceeding standard in English and 78% in math; Lincoln enrolls 369 at 70% and 64%. Both feed Corona del Mar Middle and High School, one continuous campus of 2,117 students for grades 7 through 12 with a 96.5% graduation rate.
