Inside Pelican Hill
Pelican Hill is a gated enclave of hilltop estates in the Newport Coast, set on the slopes above the Pacific with many homes overlooking the world-famous Pelican Hill Golf Club and the ocean beyond. Built largely between the early 1990s and 2010s, the residences are substantial and estate-scaled, designed to capture the views and the resort setting.
Living here means being minutes from the Pelican Hill Resort, Crystal Cove State Park, and the shops and beaches of Corona del Mar, with quick access to Pacific Coast Highway. The combination of privacy, a golf-and-resort lifestyle, and ocean-view positioning makes Pelican Hill one of the coast’s most prestigious neighborhoods, served by top-rated Newport Coast schools. Because so few homes come available in any given year, buyers targeting Pelican Hill are well served by knowing what’s coming before it lists.
