Coastal Orange County
Costa Mesa
Creative, coastal-adjacent and full of mid-century character.
Costa Mesa is Orange County's creative hub — home to South Coast Plaza, the Segerstrom Center and a thriving food and design scene — with Eastside and Mesa Verde neighborhoods of mid-century homes just a bike ride from Newport Beach. Buyers who want personality over uniformity land here.

Housing
Homes & neighborhoods
1950s–60s ranch and mid-century homes in Eastside and Mesa Verde, Mesa del Mar and College Park single-story tracts, condos and townhomes near South Coast Metro, and a growing stock of new small-lot and townhome developments. Prices typically range from the $600Ks for condos to $2.5 million-plus for remodeled Eastside homes.
For Buyers
Buying in the area
Location within Costa Mesa varies sharply in price — Eastside and Mesa Verde carry premiums. Many homes reward renovation; inspections and permit history matter on older properties.
For Sellers
Selling your home
Demand from buyers priced out of Newport Beach is strong. Sellers of original-condition homes should price to the lot and location; updated homes benefit from design-forward staging and photography.
