Balboa Island Market Update and Homes for Sale

Balboa Island in Newport Beach is a highly desirable area of Newport Beach. It is actually made up of 3 islands - the main island, the little island and Collins Island. Collins Island is gated, and there are 8 homes located on it. Balboa Island has it's own unique charm. Driving down Marine Avenue and there are many stores and places to dine. Also, Balboa Island is a great walk in the morning (or evening or anytime). Grab a Starbucks and it is about a 3 mile walk if you walk the entire island and the little island. The walk is serene and the scenery is incredible. There are many moored yachts and boats, and there are homes that do have boat slips. Also, some bay front areas do have a sandy area where kids can play.

Also, the way to arrive on Balboa Island (because it is truly an island) is to drive over the bridge or to take the Balboa Island Ferry. It is a short but charming trip across Newport Harbor. The ferry goes back and forth beteen Balboa Island and Balboa Peninsula.

Hi Sharon, Happy New Year. I love Balboa Island and I always think it feels more like Newport RI.

Hi Sharon -- I haven't been to Balboa for quite some time but I do remember walking around the island with my parents when I was a kid.  I can't say I recall Collins Island but with only eight homes maybe I simply overlooked it.

Good morning Sharon. Sounds like a wonderful place to live, but sounds like very little turnover. If someone is considering selling they should contact you for representation.

Sharon, nice place to take a walk but the turnover rate would make it difficult to make a living! Enjoy your day!

Sharon Paxson think living on an island would be pretty cool, but that is a healthy price point!   Great update on Balboa Island!

I would love to spend a day or two on Balboa Island. It looks quite charming and love the colors of the buildings. The red tile roof tops really add some pizzazz! Don't see it that much around here. ;)

Sharon, I would suspect these homes are all goreous inside and out. The prices are unbelieveable compared to here. Thanks for the market report.
