Home to the Balboa Pier and the Newport Beach Pier, Newport Beach embodies everything iconic about the Southern California coast: amazing beaches, palm trees, surfers, amusement parks, great restaurants, and endless style. Spend an afternoon at Crystal Cove State Park exploring the three miles of Pacific coastline, the canyons, the 2,400 acres of hiking and biking trails, and the Crystal Cove historic district, and you'll wonder why you didn't choose an apartment in Newport Beach sooner. Go scuba diving at Corona del Mar State Beach, complete with its rock jetty and jagged cliffs overlooking the ocean, and you'll be glad you didn't wait any longer.
Stretched along the coast of Orange County, Newport Beach is filled with palm trees, million-dollar mansions, yachts, and sailboats. Top employers in Newport Beach include Pacific Life, PIMCO, Jazz Semiconductor, and Hoag Memorial Hospital.
