Pelican Hill Homes for Sale & Real Estate

Pelican Hill is the resort heart of Newport Coast. The Resort at Pelican Hill and its two oceanfront golf courses sit on the hillside above Pacific Coast Highway, surrounded by some of the most prestigious residential communities in Orange County. When buyers search for "Pelican Hill homes," they usually mean the neighborhoods around the resort, each with its own gates, HOA and character. The Gomez | Align Group at Douglas Elliman helps buyers and sellers in the Pelican Hill area from our office at 12 Corporate Plaza in Newport Center, a few minutes away.

Pelican Hill Market Snapshot (Fall 2026)

Only a handful of Pelican Hill area homes sell each year, so pricing is best understood community by community:

• Pelican Crest: the largest custom estates and premier view lots, typically $15 million to $40 million or more.
• Pelican Hill: custom estates above the golf courses, typically $10 million to $35 million or more depending on view and lot.
• Pelican Point: about 48 custom estates, typically $8 million to $25 million.
• Pelican Ridge: ocean- and coastline-view homes, typically $4 million to $7 million.
• Pace: luxury homes here often take three months or longer to sell, and pricing to the view and the lot matters more than citywide trends.
• Property taxes: plan on roughly 1.1% of the purchase price per year, plus HOA dues for the gated community.
