The region of Corona Del Mar was initially purchased for $150,000 by James Irvine in 1875. Almost 30 years later in 1904, the 700 acres of land was sold to Corona Del Mar's founder, George E. Hart. The community of Corona Del Mar grew to establish its own post office on July 16, 1926, with Mrs. Edna L. Stuckey assuming duties as the first postmistress. A development consisting of unsold land in Corona del Mar was established in 1915 and named Balboa Palisades.

The older area of Corona del Mar known as the Flower Streets consists mostly of closely spaced, free-standing, detached single-family houses of varying architecture, concentrated along Pacific Coast Highway (also known as "PCH" or State Route 1). Newer developments in Harbor View Hills consist of California ranch-style houses, many with expansive ocean views. Irvine Terrace is another neighborhood in Corona Del Mar located slightly north of Avocado, including a mix of newly developed homes as well as original mid-1950 homes many with incredible views of Balboa Island and Newport harbor.
