Ocean Heights

Ocean Heights covers 102.4 acres of Newport Coast in 4 separate parts on the boundary the City of Newport Beach publishes for it, and the city address layer records 206 addresses inside that line across 14 streets. The address layer records fourteen streets, split between Drives named for the view and Vias named for stones and colors: Via Coralle, Via Rubino, Via Diamante, Via Ambra, Via Giada. The median of the 245 parcels the city draws here runs 11,345 square feet. The city records 240 buildings inside the boundary carrying 206 dwelling units, and the city registry marks the association gated.

The city draws Ocean Heights across four separate parts, and the median parcel inside it measures 11,345 square feet. Its three recorded tracts run from August 1992 to June 2000. The city land use layer files most of the ground as Planning Area 2C - Residential Medium Density. Newport-Mesa Unified serves the whole boundary, 102.4 acres on the county district clip. The district locator, probed once per 300 foot grid cell inside the boundary, returns Newport Coast Elementary and Corona del Mar Middle and High School.

The 1988 agreement that finally released this coast protected more than 6,000 acres of continuous open space and kept 1,600 acres private, and construction across Newport Coast began in 1990. Ocean Heights is the association behind three later neighborhoods. Perazul came first with 98 homes between 1999 and 2001, then Strada with 42 homes in 2000 and 2001, then Cassis with 66 homes between 2001 and 2003. All of it was annexed into Newport Beach on January 1, 2002, while Cassis was still being finished.

The names cross languages in a way that tells you which builder was working where. Via Diamante and Via Ambra are Italian for diamond and amber. Strada is simply the Italian word for road. Cassis is a fishing port on the French Mediterranean under the limestone cliffs east of Marseille, and it is also the name of the blackcurrant liqueur. Perazul borrows the Spanish azul, blue. Overlook Drive, the busiest street in the boundary, gives up on all of it and says what the place actually does.
