Overview
About The Pointe
The Pointe covers 16.36 acres of Newport Coast in 2 separate parts on the boundary the City of Newport Beach publishes for it, and the city address layer records 77 addresses inside that line across 3 streets. Three streets, and they break the French pattern of the associations around them: Bridgeport Road carries forty nine of the seventy seven addresses, with Whitesands Drive at twenty one and Waterford Way at seven. The median of the 86 parcels the city draws here runs 7,710 square feet. The city records 77 buildings inside the boundary carrying 77 dwelling units, and the city registry marks the association gated.
The Pointe fills 80.4 percent of its own convex hull across two parts, and its three recorded tract maps were engineered by two different firms over the signature of one surveyor, Gary W. Dokich. The city land use layer files most of the ground as Planning Area 1-b - Residential Medium Density. Newport-Mesa Unified serves the whole boundary, 16.4 acres on the county district clip. The district locator, probed once per 300 foot grid cell inside the boundary, returns Newport Coast Elementary and Corona del Mar Middle and High School.

How The Pointe was built
The Pointe holds 77 detached homes on sixteen acres of the inland ridge, and it was one of the first neighborhoods finished in Newport Ridge, built between 1993 and 1995. The land had been part of the Irvine Ranch since 1864, assembled by James Irvine and his partners out of Rancho San Joaquin after drought ruined Jose Sepulveda, and run by the Irvine Company from 1894 onward under James Irvine II.
The three streets break the pattern. Nearly all of Newport Ridge was named from France, but here the names are English and Irish: Bridgeport, Whitesands and Waterford. Waterford is the Irish port city whose name has been attached to cut crystal since the eighteenth century, and Bridgeport, which carries the majority of the addresses, is one of the commonest place names in the English speaking world. Whether the developer was making a point or simply ran out of French towns is not recorded anywhere.
