Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1980, the property features some recent upgrades including brand-new HVAC, newer vinyl flooring, and stainless steel appliances. However, the kitchen and bathrooms remain dated with older tile countertops, original-style cabinetry, and fluorescent drop-ceilings, placing it in the 'Fair' category as it requires cosmetic modernization despite being functional.
As a front-row end-unit, this property offers exceptional, unobstructed views of the Pacific Ocean, Catalina Island, and Newport Harbor from all primary living areas.
The Villa Balboa community provides an extensive amenity package, including two pools, three pickleball courts, tennis, and a fitness center, offering a high-end lifestyle.
The unit features significant recent improvements, including brand-new air conditioning, wide-plank vinyl flooring, and stainless-steel appliances, reducing immediate move-in costs.
Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 2, other record bedroom count = 1.
The monthly association fee of $833 is substantial, which may deter budget-conscious buyers or impact financing qualifications.
While listed as a two-bedroom, the configuration of one full bath and one quarter-bath may be less functional for families or guests compared to a traditional two-bath unit.
Arguably the best view-for-the-price in Newport Beach right now, this panoramic ocean-view front row end-unit condo at Villa Balboa delivers Pacific Ocean, Catalina Island, and Newport Harbor views from every main living space, all in a complex with resort-level amenities. The unit’s features include brand-new air conditioning (December 2025), newer wide-plank vinyl wood-look flooring, stainless-steel kitchen appliances, and a private balcony with gas BBQ hookup. Then there are the views: Look out from the Living Room to wide open water and Peninsula vistas. Two bedrooms each with corner views out to the ocean and harbor share one main bathroom plus an additional quarter-bath. Situated in a prime position within one of Villa Balboa’s most desirable ocean-view buildings, this home captures sweeping daytime panoramas of the water and coast, then transitions to city-lights over the harbor at night. Step outside and you’re minutes from the beach, coastal trails, Balboa Peninsula cafés, and everything that makes Newport Beach living so special. Villa Balboa residents enjoy resort-level amenities: two pools with barbecue areas, two spas, three pickleball courts, a tennis court, a fully equipped fitness center, and a clubhouse. The home includes two assigned gated parking spaces with secure storage—all within a private, gated community. Incredibly convenient to Hoag Hospital, and just above Pacific Coast Highway, this property offers incredible coastal living.
