Condominium Real Estate Information

Condos in Southern California, specifically in the Irvine and Newport Beach areas, range between $400,000 and $500,000 in price. This is significantly cheaper than the average single-family home, which usually falls between $800,000 and $900,000. This is the primary benefit of buying a condo, the opportunity to own property in a great area at a lower price.

Other benefits of condominium ownership and living include:

  • Less maintenance
  • Consistent community expectations
  • Having a say in how the community is run
  • Convenience

Some downsides of condo living are the added community restrictions, smaller living spaces, and closer proximity to other residents (potentially meaning more noise and less privacy).

Living in a condominium community will involve paying a monthly or yearly Homeowner Association (HOA) fee. These fees go to maintaining and fixing common amenities like gardens, exterior building features, pools, gyms, clubhouses, and so on. While this may seem like a downside of condo ownership, it's important to remember that many fee-simple home communities in Irvine, Newport Beach, and Southern California, include membership in an HOA as well.

While high-rise condos are the norm in other cities, the two most common types of condo communities in Orange County are garden complexes and townhouse complexes. Garden complexes offer units in low-rise buildings around park-like grounds, while townhouse (or townhome) complexes offer semi-detached homes, usually more than one story high. 

For some excellent examples, University Park is known for its fantastic mid-century garden condos, while townhouse condos can be found nearer to central Newport Beach in developments like Versailles or Seawind.

What Is A Condominium?

A condominium or “condo” is a privately owned residential unit, usually within a collection of similar units.

The land and amenities associated with these units are usually owned or administered in common with other residents.

Condos are usually attached units, but some are detached, resembling typical single-family homes. 

One characteristic that typically distinguishes condos from other forms of real estate ownership is that they don't include ownership of the land that the condo is built on.
