Neighbourhoods
The Eastside, near Newport Beach, is the priciest area, with bungalows and newer homes; the Westside has smaller lots and a mix of older and rebuilt homes, with more affordable pricing. The SoBECA arts district has restaurants and galleries, and the Orange County Fairgrounds and Segerstrom Center for the Arts are in town. John Wayne Airport is a few minutes away and the 405, 55 and 73 freeways intersect nearby. Buyers include professionals, families and investors focused on rentals near the coast and universities.
Costa Mesa is the less polished neighbour of Newport Beach: strong demand and prices, with redevelopment potential on many lots.
Notes for overseas buyers
California allows foreign ownership without special permission. Plan for:
- Property tax near 1% plus local assessments; the value is reset on purchase
- Financing: foreign-national lenders typically ask for 30% or more down; see US financing
- Escrow and title: a neutral escrow officer handles the closing
- Rental rules: short-term rental regulations vary by city and HOA
- Exit: FIRPTA withholding at sale, usually 15%
Our US buying guide walks through the steps.
