Don’t miss the final day of the Orange County Fair—the ultimate summer send-off. Think acres of classic fair food, thrilling rides, farm animals, live entertainment, and friendly competitions. It’s nostalgia and novelty, all in one spot.

Make it easy: Check the OC Fair site for current hours, parking, and ticket details before you go.

Know Before You Go

• Parking & timing: Build in a little buffer for parking and walking—especially Saturday and Sunday evenings.

• Comfy shoes: You’ll be on your feet for demos, dancing, and dessert-hopping.

• Shareables: Split treats at Sugar Lane so you can sample more.

• Stay hydrated: Pack water or grab drinks along the way—August heat can sneak up on you.

If you’ve ever dreamed of owning a home right on the water, Huntington Harbour in Huntington Beach, CA might be the hidden gem you’re looking for. With peaceful channels, private docks, and stunning waterfront views, this community offers the perfect balance of Orange County coastal living and laid-back residential charm.

What Makes Huntington Harbour Unique

Huntington Harbour was built in the 1960s and is made up of five man-made islands — Admiral T, Davenport, Gilbert, Humboldt, and Trinidad. These islands are surrounded by scenic waterways where locals enjoy:

• Boating and yachting directly from their private docks

• Paddle boarding and kayaking in calm waters

• Relaxing evenings on the patio with waterfront sunsets

Unlike the busy vibe of downtown Huntington Beach, Huntington Harbour is quiet, residential, and community-focused — while still offering quick access to Seal Beach, Sunset Beach, Bolsa Chica, and Pacific Coast Highway.

The Homes of Huntington Harbour

Many homes in Huntington Harbour come with their own boat slips or docks, making it one of the few places in Southern California where waterfront living is truly at your doorstep. You’ll find:

• Custom waterfront estates

• Contemporary remodels with ocean views

• Original mid-century homes with room to modernize

Whether you’re looking for a forever home, vacation property, or investment opportunity, Huntington Harbour offers something for every lifestyle.

Off-Market Opportunities in Huntington Harbour

One thing we specialize in at The Heart & Home Team is connecting buyers and sellers with off-market homes in Huntington Harbour.

• For sellers, listing off-market offers privacy and avoids open houses.

• For buyers, it means access to exclusive homes without bidding wars — but you’ll need to come prepared with a strong offer.

Why Choose Huntington Harbour

Living here means:

• A true boating and waterfront lifestyle

• A residential community feel away from tourist crowds

• Proximity to top Orange County beaches, shops, and dining

• Homes that offer long-term value in a highly desirable market

Ready to Explore Huntington Harbour Homes

If you’re ready to experience the Huntington Harbour lifestyle for yourself, we’d love to help. Whether you’re buying, selling, or just exploring your options, The Heart & Home Team is here to guide you.
