Direct answer
Ratowsky Group at Compass works the Southern California coast from San Clemente in south Orange County up through Long Beach, with Huntington Beach and Huntington Harbour as our home base and deepest expertise. This guide maps the oceanfront, bluff, harbor, and island communities along that corridor, San Clemente, Dana Point, Laguna Beach, Newport Coast, Corona del Mar, Newport Beach, Huntington Beach, Seal Beach, and Long Beach, and links to the neighborhood briefs as we publish them. If you're buying or selling coastal property anywhere on this stretch, this is the map.
The southernmost beach city in Orange County, known for its Spanish-village character and the surf at Trestles. Southwest San Clemente is the key coastal zone.
Key San Clemente communities
A coastal-village and harbor market in south Orange County, anchored by the Dana Point Harbor revitalization and a tier of gated oceanfront estates.
Key Dana Point communities
Seven miles of cove-and-canyon coastline where ocean view and architectural pedigree drive value more than square footage. Highly gated at the high end.
Key Laguna Beach communities
The coastal-luxury core of Newport Beach: the gated Newport Coast ridgelines and the walkable, ocean-and-harbor-view village of Corona del Mar.
Key Newport Coast and Corona del Mar communities
Centered on Newport Harbor, with the Balboa Peninsula village and a set of bridge- and ferry-access islands that are among the most sought-after waterfront addresses in California.
Key Newport Beach communities
Where the team has worked since 1977, with the deepest expertise on the corridor. The waterfront of Huntington Harbour, the bluff-top Seacliff communities, and the downtown beach-close market.
Key Huntington Beach communities
A small, slower-paced coastal city at the northwest tip of Orange County, with longer-hold ownership and tighter inventory than its neighbors.
Key Seal Beach communities
The northern anchor of the corridor, in Los Angeles County, centered on Alamitos Bay and the canal-laced islands of Naples.
Key Long Beach communities
58 years
of combined Ratowsky Group experience on the Southern California coast, third generation since 1977
Ratowsky Group
“Huntington Beach and the Harbour are home, and that's where our expertise runs deepest. From that base we work the whole coast, San Clemente to Long Beach, because coastal buyers and sellers move along it, not within one zip code.”
