Newport Beach is an incredible place to visit, and an even more incredible place to call home.

There are hundreds of specialty shops scattered throughout the neighborhoods of Balboa Island, Balboa Village, Corona del Mar, Mariner’s Mile, Newport Coast, and the Westcliff/17th area. Newport Beach real estate is highly sought-after due to its gorgeous properties, its ideal climate and location, and the community’s limitless opportunities.
Balboa Island Cottage Plates
Balboa Island Cottage Plates was first imagined in the late ‘70s after its founder found herself inspired by the quaint “welcome” door plaques affixed to many European homes while on vacation. Sparked with a new business idea, she began designing, producing, and eventually selling personalized door plaques right out of her studio.
If you’re thinking of selling your Newport Beach property — or just want to show pride in your beautiful home — you’ll want to ensure the outside of your home has lots of curb appeal. You’ll want to wow someone with their first impression of your home, and a unique and customized address plaque is quite appealing for visitors.
Seaside Gallery and Goods
A collective of local entrepreneurs, artists, and artisans, Seaside Gallery and Goods provides a gathering spot for those who own Newport Beach homes as well as a unique shopping experience. Opened in September of 2014, the shop had a goal of making a “pop-up shop'' permanent and those involved certainly succeeded. You can shop for anything from clothing to gifts for everyone on your list to home decor, jewelry, and more when you visit Seaside. The more than 20 artists and business owners who make up the collective rotate their time working on the shop so you can meet those who create the unique offerings you’re buying.
