Live where the surf meets the story. Now offered for lease, this freshly updated one-bedroom bayside retreat puts you steps from the Fun Zone, Balboa Ferry, and the nostalgia-drenched charm of iconic Newport Beach.

Perched on the coveted Balboa Peninsula, the apartment pairs thoughtful updates with the vintage charisma of pre-mid-century design—because character never goes out of style. The recently refreshed kitchen features new appliances, while a peek-a-boo view of Newport Harbor provides a daily reminder that yes, you really do live here.

Stroll the shoreline, wander to the ferry, or channel your inner John Wayne while exploring one of Southern California’s most storied coastal enclaves. When staying home sounds better, settle in with a beverage and let the harbor, ocean air, and sound of water against the dock do the entertaining.

At $3,000 per month, which covers all your utilities, this is a rare opportunity to call the Balboa Peninsula home without requiring a yacht-sized housing budget.

Come for the price. Stay for the lifestyle. But don’t linger—Newport Beach leases this close to the water have a habit of disappearing.
