Travel to the colorful days of the early 20th century—when electric trolleys known as “Red Cars” ran from L.A. to Orange County—with a drive down the Balboa Peninsula, the historic Newport Beach neighborhood. Among the Peninsula’s 1200 custom homes, you’ll find original beach cottages alongside waterfront castles in the $10 million range (nearly a third of the homes on the Peninsula line the Bayfront, Oceanfront or Bay Island). Most Bayfront properties also have docks, adding roughly $200,000 in value. A voluntary association for homeowners on the point area offers a tennis court, private beach access and a launching ramp for small boats.
