Historic Homes, Balboa Island!
I thought you might be interested in this little bit of Balboa Island Trivia. The Island is comprised of 3 Man Made Islands, Balboa Island, Little Island and Collins Island. In a recent post…..I told you about a home for sale on Collins Island.
Prior to 1906, the Island was just a sand spit. Thanks to the insight of developer William S. Collins, we now have Balboa Island. He began dredging the channel around Snipe Island, depositing sand onto the tidelands……resulting in Balboa Island!
In 1929 the Island boasted 100 residents. Today it claims over 3,000 residents. There are currently 101 Historic Homes on the Island. Each bronze plaque hoors a home that has been on the Island at least 60 years. Stop by our Balboa Island Museum and Historical Society. Close to the Ferry and Pilates Bt The Sea!! Wed. and Sat. 10am – 2 pm 949 675-3952
Have you ever been to the Island? If so, please share your positive experiences 
I’ll give you more “B.I. trivia” in aother Blog. I did want to tell you that

A Great home in Newport Beach Bluffs
I usually try to keep you updated on the golf and Beach Properties in Newport Beach Area. Today I’d like to tell you about a great listing in Newport Beach that doesn’t have a view (except for small greenbelt) but it also doesn’t cost millions of dollars. This one is close to a great private Tennis Club and walking distance to the Back Bay and the biking/hiking trails. It is 3 bedrooms, 2 1/2 baths with a GREAT wrap around patio to enjoy our beautiful “year round” weather. It has been upgraded with thermo-pane doors and windows, granite counters in the kitchen, recessed lighting, crown moulding, new carpet and paint. It sits at the end of the cul-de-sac and it light and bright! And….what is best….it is listed at $825,000.
It is a great opportunity to own a home in Newport Beach. Especially for those of you that are dying from the heat in Palm Springs/Desert, Las Vegas, Phoenix etc. Write or call and I’ll take you to look at it!
Have a great evening, Sue

Toshiba Classic
Hi Golfing Fans!!
This is a very FUN time of the year in Newport Beach! It is the 15th Annual Toshiba Classic. The week when all the best Senior Pros come to play the pristine Newport Beach Country Club Course. Some of the great players here this week are “Defending Champ” Bernard Langer (also reigning Player of the Year), Legands ….Gary Player, Lee Trevino, Tom Watson, Hale Irwin (2 time Toshiba Classic winner), Jay Haas (2007 Champion) and “Player of the Year Canidates” Fred Funk and John Cook.
What is great about this Tournament is the players are more layed back (even though still competitive) and off the course more friendly. The tickets are inexpensive …$25 general admission, and it is a great way to “let go of stress”, be outdoors, be around “golf lovers” and get some exercise!!
Play starts Friday AM and ends with the Championship Trophy awards on the 18th green Sunday afternoon.
