Balboa Peninsula, Newport Beach – Best Deals on Property Duplexes
Standing at the end of the Balboa Pier, a Newport Beach coastline pic.
Gorgeous Newport Beach, CA – an ideal retirement and vacation spot for so many. Balboa Peninsula is seeing lots of changes this year – a new marina going in, lots of new restaurants and shops, multiple properties adding 2nd and 3rd stories – the area is truly in a ‘build up’ phase similiar to what we saw with Huntington Beach 10-15 years ago.For many, the “Newport” lifestyle is far out of reach. Currently there is only ONE lonely condo on Balboa Peninsula under 1 million dollars, and it’s HOA is almost $800/mo – OUCH! Is there anything affordable? Are there any opportunities? There sure are. Lots of times with the higher end areas, buyers will opt for a multi-unit property as a stepping stone to get up to their McMansion. They live in one unit, and rent out the other(s) so that the mortgage becomes affordable. Many property owners keep the multi-unit forever, because rental rates on the peninsula can be insane. Newport Beach vacation rents range from $150-1000 per NIGHT, so you can see the potential a second unit could have on your mortgage payment! If you don’t like the vacation rental crowd, you can still rent on a 6 month or 1 year lease for a minimum of $2000/mo, even if the unit is the size of a closet without a garage or parking. Ya, Newport Beach CA is that expensive and exclusive.
