Corona del Mar is the village of Newport Beach, a strip of shops and restaurants along East Coast Highway with homes running down to the bluffs and up into the hills. Homes for sale in Corona del Mar include cottages and new builds in the Flower Streets, houses on Ocean Boulevard looking over the beaches, and view homes in Harbor View Hills and Spyglass Hill. The name is Spanish for "crown of the sea", and Newport Beach annexed the village in 1923, so it is a neighbourhood of Newport Beach with a strong identity of its own.

What is happening in the Corona del Mar market right now?
Corona del Mar's market has been strong on price and patient on pace. The figures above are for ZIP code 92625, which covers Corona del Mar and its hillside neighbourhoods. The median moved +23.2% compared with a year earlier, homes closed at 97.6% of list price, and the area recorded 69 sales over July-September 2026.
The year-over-year change needs care, because a quarter with more new construction and bluff-top sales lifts the median even if older cottages held steady. Selling a little under list, with 86 homes for sale in the period, means buyers had some room to negotiate, while new and well-located homes still drew firm prices. The Orange County market report shows how Corona del Mar's ZIP sits against the county.

Which neighbourhoods make up Corona del Mar?
Corona del Mar divides into the village grid near the water and the hillside neighbourhoods above East Coast Highway, and the two sell very differently.
The Flower Streets. The grid of streets named for flowers, such as Poppy, Marguerite and Iris, running from the highway toward the ocean. Lots are narrow, and new two- and three-story homes stand beside original cottages. Being on the ocean side of the highway and close to the bluffs moves price here.
Ocean Boulevard and the bluffs. Homes along the bluff above Corona del Mar State Beach and Little Corona, many with unobstructed ocean views. These are the area's rarest and highest-priced homes.
Irvine Terrace. A neighbourhood north of Avocado Avenue, above the harbour, with many single-story homes and views over the bay.
Harbor View Hills and Spyglass Hill. Hillside neighbourhoods inland of the highway, with larger houses and ocean, harbour or city-light views.
Shore Cliffs and Cameo Shores. Communities along the coast at the southern end of Corona del Mar, toward Newport Coast, with ocean-view homes.
Harbor Ridge. A guard-gated hillside community above Corona del Mar with ocean and city-light views, covered in the Harbor Ridge homes guide.
What is it like to live in Corona del Mar?
Living in Corona del Mar means a village you can walk. Many homes in the Flower Streets are a few minutes on foot from the shops and restaurants along East Coast Highway and from the beaches below the bluffs. Corona del Mar State Beach sits at the harbour entrance, with the jetty and the boats going in and out. Little Corona, reached by a path from the end of Poppy Avenue, has tide pools where marine life is protected.
Sherman Library & Gardens, founded in 1966, occupies about 2.2 acres on East Coast Highway with gardens and a research library on regional history. Inspiration Point and the walk along Ocean Boulevard give the views most visitors come for.
East Coast Highway is the main road, and summer weekends bring beach traffic and tight parking on the village streets. John Wayne Airport and the 73 are a short drive inland up MacArthur Boulevard. Newport Coast lies just south and Fashion Island just north.
Corona del Mar is in the Newport-Mesa Unified School District. Corona del Mar High School is in the Eastbluff neighbourhood. Confirm the schools for any address with the district.

Looking for a realtor in Corona del Mar?
Look for an agent who can price the difference between the Flower Streets, the bluffs and the hills, because a new build on a narrow lot, an Ocean Boulevard house and a Spyglass Hill view home are three different markets. Check the agent's licence on the California Department of Real Estate's public lookup first. Then ask for Corona del Mar homes they have priced, with addresses, and the sales behind each.
For an older cottage, ask how the agent weighs the lot against the house, since many buyers plan to rebuild. For a new build, ask how they show its finish and plan to buyers comparing several.

The guide to choosing a listing agent has the full list of questions to ask.
What should you know about selling a home in Corona del Mar?
Selling a home in Corona del Mar starts with knowing whether your buyer wants the house or the lot. Corona del Mar homes went under contract in a median 64 days over July-September 2026. An original cottage in the Flower Streets often sells on its land value to a buyer or builder who plans to replace it, while a finished home sells on its design and condition.
Greg sets the price from both angles when a home could go either way, then prepares and markets it for the more likely buyer. For a teardown candidate, that means a survey, any existing plans and zoning details in the listing. For a finished home, it means staging, twilight photography and showing the walk to the beach and village.
Gather the permits for past work, any coastal or planning approvals, and the dates of the roof and major systems. Buyers in Corona del Mar look closely at what has been approved, since it shapes what they can build next.

What are Corona del Mar luxury homes like?
Corona del Mar luxury homes fall into three types: bluff-top houses on Ocean Boulevard with direct ocean views, new custom homes on the ocean side of the Flower Streets, and large view homes in the hills and in gated Harbor Ridge. The bluff-top homes are the scarcest because the frontage is fixed. New custom homes in the Flower Streets trade on finish, roof decks and distance to the sand. Hillside homes trade on the width of the view and the size of the lot.
At this level, check the permit and approval history, the zoning limits on height and floor area for the lot, and the geology report for a bluff or hillside home. Many remodels near the coast also need a coastal development permit from the city. The Orange County luxury homes guide covers the coastal tier across the county.

How does the beach shape daily life in Corona del Mar?
The beach shapes Corona del Mar's daily rhythm more than any other feature. Big Corona, the state beach at the harbour entrance, has a parking lot, fire rings and a long stretch of sand, and fills on warm weekends. Little Corona is smaller and quieter, with tide pools at its south end that are best seen at low tide. Paid beach parking is in force from six in the morning until ten at night.
For homeowners, that means two things worth checking on any street near the water: how parking works on summer weekends, and how much foot traffic passes the house on the way to the sand. Some buyers want to be in the middle of it. Others choose a street a few blocks inland, still within walking distance, and trade a little proximity for a quieter weekend.
Is it worth buying a teardown in Corona del Mar?
A teardown in Corona del Mar can be worth buying when the lot's location justifies the cost of building new, and that depends on the street, the lot width and the time you can wait. Building a new home here means design, city review, any coastal development permit and construction, which together can take well over a year. Buyers pay for that time in carrying costs.
The math works best on the ocean side of the highway and on lots close to the bluffs, where finished new homes sell at the top of the area's range. Before buying a lot to rebuild, get an architect's view of what zoning allows, a survey and an estimate of building costs. Greg can pull recent sales of both teardowns and new builds nearby so the numbers are grounded.
What should a buyer check before an offer in Corona del Mar?
A Corona del Mar buyer should check permits and approvals, zoning limits, the geology on a bluff or hillside lot, and the recent sales on the same kind of street. On small Flower Street lots, also check parking and alley access, since off-street parking is limited and summer beach traffic fills the streets. Property tax under Proposition 13 starts at 1 percent of the price you pay, plus voter-approved charges.
Greg pulls the comparable sales for every home a buyer is serious about and adjusts them for lot, view and age, so the offer reflects what similar homes actually sold for.
Which nearby places should you compare with Corona del Mar?
Buyers who look at Corona del Mar often compare Newport Coast, the rest of Newport Beach and Laguna Beach. Newport Coast lies just south, with newer homes behind guard gates on the hills. The harbour islands and peninsula of Newport Beach are a few minutes north. Laguna Beach is down the coast, with coves and canyons of its own.

Common questions
Is Corona del Mar part of Newport Beach?
Corona del Mar is part of the City of Newport Beach, which annexed it in 1923. Homes there carry Corona del Mar addresses and the 92625 ZIP code, but planning, permits and city services come from Newport Beach. Corona del Mar has its own village business district along East Coast Highway and its own beaches below the bluffs.
What is the median home price in Corona del Mar?
The median sale price in ZIP code 92625, which covers Corona del Mar, was $4,558,661 for July-September 2026, according to Redfin Data Center. That figure blends Flower Street homes, bluff-top houses and hillside view homes, so the right number for one home depends on its street, lot and view.
How fast do homes sell in Corona del Mar?
Corona del Mar homes went under contract in a median 64 days over July-September 2026. New construction in the Flower Streets and well-priced view homes often move faster than that, while the highest-priced bluff-top homes can take longer. Pricing against recent sales on the same kind of street matters most.
What are the Flower Streets in Corona del Mar?
The Flower Streets are the grid of Corona del Mar streets named for flowers, such as Poppy, Marguerite and Iris, running from Pacific Coast Highway toward the ocean. Lots are narrow and close together, and many original cottages have been replaced by two- and three-story homes built to the limit of what zoning allows.
Which schools serve Corona del Mar?
Corona del Mar is in the Newport-Mesa Unified School District. Corona del Mar High School sits in the Eastbluff neighbourhood, and elementary attendance depends on the address. Boundaries can change, so check the district's locator for a specific home and confirm with the district before relying on a particular school.
How much is my Corona del Mar home worth?
A Corona del Mar home's value comes from recent sales on similar streets, adjusted for lot width, ocean view, distance to the beach and how new the house is. Enter the address in the home-value box on this page and Greg Toussieng, a California real estate broker, sends a written comparative market analysis showing each sale.
Is the median Corona del Mar home price above the Orange County conforming loan limit?
Yes. The median Corona del Mar sale price was $4,558,661 for July-September 2026, from Redfin Data Center. Loans above $1,249,125, the 2026 Orange County conforming limit set by the FHFA, are jumbo loans. Because the median price is above that limit, your down payment decides whether a loan on a typical home here is conforming or jumbo.
