Weatherly Bay Huntington Beach Real Estate

Weatherly Bay is one of the waterfront townhome communities tucked into Huntington Harbour, set along Aladdin Drive near Warner Avenue. It's a small, established enclave of roughly 98 units built in the mid-1960s, with sources commonly citing 1965. What makes it stand out isn't size or flash, it's the water. The community is laid out in two rows, one closer to Warner Avenue and one running directly along a Huntington Harbour channel, and the waterfront units come with the kind of direct harbour access that's normally reserved for the detached single-family homes that trade at much higher prices.

That's the core of the Weatherly Bay story. Buyers who want to own on the water in Huntington Harbour, with a private boat dock at their own home, usually expect a detached harbour price tag. Weatherly Bay delivers a version of that lifestyle at a townhome price point, which is exactly why the waterfront units here draw a specific, motivated buyer pool. You are near Sunset Beach, Bolsa Chica State Beach, and the Bolsa Chica Ecological Reserve, in a quieter, residential corner of northwest Huntington Beach.

Ratowsky Group works the Huntington Harbour market closely, and the thing we tell Weatherly Bay buyers is that the two rows do not trade the same way. A unit directly on the water with a usable dock is a different product, and a different price, than a unit in the inner row, even within the same small community. We help buyers and sellers understand which they're actually looking at before anyone commits to a number.

Weatherly Bay is attached townhome-style condominiums, not detached single-family homes. The community runs roughly one to four bedrooms across its floor plans. Verified individual listings have shown sizes around 1,258 and 1,496 square feet, and brokerage sources have referenced a wider range up to roughly 1,984 square feet, though the full range across all floor plans should be confirmed against current floor plan data for the specific unit you're considering.

The defining feature on the waterfront row is the private boat dock. One listing in the community noted a dock able to hold a boat up to roughly 25 feet, with dock maintenance plus water and power included in the HOA dues. For a buyer who wants to keep a boat at their own home in Huntington Harbour, that's the whole point, and it's worth confirming the exact dock dimensions and what each specific dock can accommodate, since those details vary unit to unit.

Because the community was built in the mid-1960s, the interiors now span the full range from largely original to updated. As with any enclave of this vintage, the spread between a renovated unit and an original one can be meaningful, and the cost to bring an original interior current is real money. We walk that math with buyers before they write, so the offer reflects the actual cost-to-complete rather than just the list price.

Weatherly Bay has a homeowners association. The HOA amenities include a community pool, a wading pool for kids, a spa, tennis courts that are also used for pickleball, and a private dog run. On waterfront units with a dock, HOA dues have included dock maintenance plus water and power, per listing information in the community. Any buyer should review the current HOA budget, reserves, dues, and rules during their contingency period, which we pull on every transaction so the picture is clear before contingencies come off.

We'd flag a couple of things to confirm directly rather than assume. The exact, current monthly HOA dues figure should be verified with the association or the listing, since it's the kind of number that changes over time. Whether the community is gated is not something we'll state as fact here, so confirm the access setup with the HOA. And while Huntington Harbour is an established 1960s area where Mello-Roos is generally unlikely, you should confirm the Mello-Roos and special-assessment status on the specific parcel rather than take it for granted.

Weatherly Bay is in the Huntington Harbour area of northwest Huntington Beach, in the 92649 ZIP code, along Aladdin Drive near Warner Avenue. The community sits directly on a Huntington Harbour water channel, which is what gives the waterfront row its dock access and its appeal. It's a quieter, residential pocket rather than a high-traffic stretch.

The location puts you near Sunset Beach, Bolsa Chica State Beach, and the Bolsa Chica Ecological Reserve, and close to the Sunset Beach restaurants and the Huntington Harbour Yacht Club. For a buyer who wants the harbour-and-beach lifestyle without being in the busiest part of the city, this corner of northwest Huntington Beach delivers it.

On schools, the community falls in the standard Huntington Harbour feeder pattern: the Ocean View School District for elementary and middle school, and the Huntington Beach Union High School District for high school. The commonly cited assignments are Harbour View Elementary, Marine View Middle, and Marina High. Attendance boundaries are set by address and can change, so confirm the current assignment for any specific address directly with the districts before you rely on it.

Weatherly Bay is a small, established community of roughly 98 units, so inventory is naturally thin and turnover is limited. The waterfront units with usable boat docks are the scarcest and most sought-after product in the enclave, and they tend to draw the most focused attention from the specific buyer pool that wants direct Huntington Harbour access at a townhome price rather than a detached harbour price. The live market read for the community, median price, days on market, and active inventory, populates in the market dashboard above as the data feed connects.

Because the buyer pool is specific and the supply is small, pricing and presentation discipline matter more here than in a high-turnover neighborhood. We advise Weatherly Bay sellers on how the waterfront row and the inner row actually compare, and on the condition spread, before setting a list price. And we advise buyers on what a given location and condition should command rather than what a portal estimate suggests.

Run this checklist before you write an offer in Weatherly Bay.

If you're thinking about selling a home in Weatherly Bay, choosing the right Realtor® matters. Buyers here compare on the thing that defines the community: whether the unit sits on the waterfront row with a usable private dock or in the inner row closer to Warner Avenue, and then on condition against a mid-1960s vintage, floor plan, and what the HOA dues actually cover, including dock maintenance plus water and power on dock units. The two rows do not trade the same way, and the agent who prices to that reality is the one who protects your number.
