The Balboa Coves homes were originally built in the post-WW2 era in Newport continuing into the early 1950s. A few of the original homes remain in the community, but most have been remodeled or are completely new construction. Lots range from 5,000 to as large as 7,000 square feet. Original homes were smaller two- and three-bedroom cottages, but remodels and new construction include four to five-bedroom houses up to 4,000 square feet. Many homes have elegant landscaping with decks, entries and custom patios. The microclimate is one of the most pleasant in the area, with year-round mild temperatures.
