Balboa Island Homes
Historic Home Plaque Program
We have a walking tour brochure of our historic homes. Use our 2015 Historic Homes Tour Map to see the various years of construction.
If your Balboa Island house is 60+ years old (built prior to 1957), your home qualifies to be recognized as a historic home. You can order and display a plaque for $250 which included a $50 Crystal membership. The bronze plaque is engraved with the words “Balboa Island Historical Society” and the date that the house was built. Please note that this plaque designates year of construction only and does not place any restriction on property. There are currently 145 plaque holders on Balboa Island.
