Home › Huntington Beach Real Estate › Huntington Harbour
Huntington Harbour is a master-planned waterfront community in northern Huntington Beach built across five man-made islands in a protected bay. It is one of the few places in Orange County where you can keep a boat in the backyard and access the Pacific Ocean through a navigable channel just minutes away. Homes in the Harbour range from non-waterfront island homes to large bayfront estates with private docks sized for serious vessels. The listings below update directly from the MLS every 5 minutes. Call or text 949-430-7500 to discuss current inventory or get a custom list of waterfront homes that fit your criteria.
The Five Islands of Huntington Harbour
Admiralty Island is the largest of the five and home to some of the most expansive bayfront estates in the Harbour. Waterfront lots on Admiralty tend to have wider bay frontage and longer private docks, making it the top destination for buyers with larger vessels. The island has seen significant renovation activity in recent years, with many homes updated or rebuilt to modern coastal standards.
Humboldt Island offers a mix of waterfront and non-waterfront single-family homes with a quieter residential character. Bayfront properties here have private docks and direct harbour access. The island is popular with buyers who want a more relaxed pace alongside their water access.
Gilbert Island is a smaller enclave with waterfront homes on both sides of the water, giving many properties an intimate harbour perspective. Gilbert tends to attract buyers looking for private dock access at a somewhat more accessible price point than the largest Admiralty estates.
Trinidad Island and Davenport Island round out the Harbour with additional waterfront and interior inventory, including townhome and condo communities where dock access may be private or shared depending on the specific complex.

What Clients Say
"It is our experience that Eric is a unique real estate professional. Eric is extremely proactive; he finds solutions. Eric has good people skills and can work with difficult or trying situations to find solutions. He is not flappable, i.e. not easily thrown off his game, and has a calm but professional demeanor. He also did the work, which is my pet peeve with many in the RE community, they don't do the work, but sign you up and then don't help you sign, vet, solve housing challenges. Eric is the opposite and raised issues we did not think of, and also responded to and researched issues that we identified. I also found his valuation analysis to be accurate and supported. We also had a lot of trust in Eric and found him to be of high character and reliable. These are all characteristics that make him stand out and above his peers and competition. I offered to give this reference for Eric, he did not solicit it, because I want others to have the same great experience we did."

Most recreational vessels navigate the inlet without difficulty, giving Huntington Harbour residents true ocean access from their backyard.

Huntington Harbour has a relaxed, water-oriented lifestyle distinct from the broader Huntington Beach community.
