Newport Beach Overview

Home to the scenic harbor of the same name, Newport Beach is a popular locale in the heart of Orange County, California. Known the world over for an abundance of maritime activities as well as gorgeous sweeping water views, this coastal town remains an in-demand zip code. 

What is the history of Newport Beach?

The succesful navigation of the large steam ship in the late 1800s lead to a settlement along the Newport Harbor, and by 1905 the Pacific Electric Railway had constructed an outpost in the city. This new connection to Los Angeles lead to an increased local population, and an industry of ship building and commercial fishing soon took hold. Today, Newport Beach apartments largely act as bedroom communities for retirees or those working in the tourism industry, with the ocean being largely utilized for recreational purposes.

How is the weather in Newport Beach?

Due to its proximity to the Pacific Ocean, Newport Beach's weather patterns tend to me cooler than average in the summer and warmed than most in the winter. Snow is practically unheard of, and the months of June-August are as close to ideal 'Cali weather' as it gets.

How do I get around town?

The Balboa Island Ferry offers some coastal transport, with bus service on the mainland also available. Many calling Newport Beach apartments home still rely on at least one car or truck to their name, although bicycling is incredibly popular on the coast as well. Unsurpisingly, boating is also popular in this seaside city, with many locals owning their own vessel of one form or another. John Wayne Airport is the nearest option for air travel.

What is the Newport Beach commute like?

Route 55 crosses the city limits, while Route 1 runs the coastline headed south. Interstate 405 remains the closest major roadway, leading toward Irvine and beyond. Those commuting via I-405 can expect a fair amount of daily congestion, thanks to California's notorious traffic. Still, residents of Newport Beach rentals generally should find easy conditions when it comes to getting across town.

What are the local media outlets?

The 'LA Times' is a major print option in the city, and radio tends to lean towards mellow vibes, including reggae, soft jazz, NPR talk and classic rock. Most apartments for rent in Newport Beach enjoy easy access to a world of broadcasting options, thanks to the wide array of network affiliates in the nearby LA markets.

What Newport Beach landmarks should I see?

Surfing along the famous Wedge area is a must-try, and the Newport Harbor Nautical Museum is a proven testement to the city's lengthy history. The Newport Theatre Arts Center is yet another excellent spot to check out, offering live stage shows on most evenings.

What is there to do around Newport Beach?
