|
| HISTORY: |
In 1927, the land that is now Beacon Bay was almost leased
to a marine engineer manufacturer to accommodate a factory.
The bay north of Balboa Island was to be used as a testing
channel for speedboats. Balboa Island residents opposed this
proposed use. Instead, the land was leased to J.A. Beek in
1927 in consideration for dredging, filling and installation
of utilities. Residential lots began selling in the mid -1930s
and by 1950, Beacon Bay was nearly completed.

HOMES: |
There are less that 100 homes in Beacon Bay, Zoning provides
for restricted R1.5-R2, but most properties are used as single
family residences. Homes on the grass estradas are situated
so that each may have a view towards the bay. All but three
of the bayfront homes are on the sand with wonderful views
of sunset and harbor activity. The other three homes are located
on the bay with private docks. Lot sizes are predominantly
one and one-half times the average size of most lots close
to the bay. |
| |
|
| STYLE: |
All homes are custom built with a variety of architectural
styles. Created as vintage beach homes, there is a combination
of classic New England architecture and traditional East and
West Coast beach cottage design. |
| |
|
| FEATURES: |
Beacon Bay offers a relaxed, neighborly atmosphere and
epitomized vintage Newport Beach. The wide grass estradas
replace roads in front of the homes. Sandy beach, docks and
slips are available to homeowners. Residents may lease a slip
when available for boats up to 20 feet. There is also a tennis
court and park. Neighbors enjoy the Summer Fiesta and winter
holiday party.
