Welcome to The Bluffs: Newport Beach’s Best Keep-It-On-The-DL Neighborhood 🌊🏡
If you think living in Newport Beach requires a yacht, a valet, and an eight-figure bank account, meet The Bluffs.
Tucked quietly above the Upper Newport Bay Ecological Reserve, The Bluffs (and neighboring Eastbluff) offer quintessential Southern California living with a side of total chill. Endless greenbelts, winding walking trails, top-tier schools, and ocean breezes—all without the crazy coastal traffic.

Originally developed in the 1960s, The Bluffs is known for its iconic Mid-Century Modern design. Think floor-to-ceiling glass, open-concept floor plans, interior courtyards, and clean architectural lines that bring the outdoors right into your living room.
Over the years, many of these iconic homes have been lovingly transformed into stunning Modern Coastal and modern farmhouse retreats—featuring sleek quartz kitchens, warm white oak flooring, and custom indoor-outdoor living spaces perfect for year-round entertaining.
