As a city that prides itself on its gorgeous 8-mile beach-front location and surfing tradition, the closer the neighborhood in Huntington Beach is to the sand and water, the better. Newland is considered one of the prime neighborhoods in the city for just that reason. This elegant community rates high on the neighborhood desirability list for its beach access.
Newland is not only beach accessible, but culturally rich. The Newland House Museum, housed in a restored 1898 Victorian home is where the Newland family (Huntington Beach pioneers) resided for 50 years. Its octagonal tower offers visitors beautiful ocean views. Just behind the Newland House Museum lies Newland Barn, the picturesque setting and lovely rose garden of which provide a charming backdrop for area weddings and local social events.
Newland is graced not only with a beachside setting, but lovely expanses of open green space, which makes the community pedestrian friendly. One of the most beautiful, natural parks in the area can be found in the Newland neighborhood. Bartlett Park, located atop an expansive hillside, has breathtaking views of Saddleback Mountain and the surrounding area.
The city of Huntington Beach itself has much to offer Newland residents. This clean, livable community offers everything from pier-side Farmer’s Markets to the US Open for Surfing to a winter Cruise of Lights Boat Tour in Huntington Harbor. Beautiful state beaches and wetlands areas grace Huntington Beach, and its Public Library and Equestrian Center in Central Park are second to none.
The city of Huntington Beach is tourist and pedestrian friendly, with plenty of dining, entertainment, and shopping areas (such as Bella Terra and Old World Village). Whether Newland residents are in their own neighborhood or slightly farther afield, there is much to enjoy.
