About Irvine Cove

Neighborhood Overview

Irvine Cove sits at the far northern tip of Laguna Beach within a 24-hour guard-gated community of approximately 110 custom homes. Developed by the Irvine Company in the early 20th century, it was designed from the outset for privacy, space, and direct ocean access. The community stretches along a coastal bluff above its namesake private cove, with wide private roads, manicured common areas, volleyball courts, a playground, a park, and six tennis courts.

Prices begin around $7 million and ascend past $65 million for the most spectacular oceanfront estates, placing Irvine Cove among the most expensive residential communities in all of California. Homes range from grand Spanish Colonial villas to sleek contemporary masterpieces on generous lots designed to maximize ocean views. Because so few properties exist and turnover is extremely rare, Irvine Cove represents one of the most enduring stores of coastal real estate wealth in the country.
