Costa Mesa is one of the most exciting and eclectic cities in coastal Orange County, and is the center of the region’s dynamic art, entertainment, fashion and food scene. Eastside Costa Mesa, on the border of Newport Beach, is an especially sought-after community for both first-time homebuyers and those seeking to remodel – or purchase – appealing ranch-style homes on wide, tree-lined streets. Eastside Costa Mesa also boasts the city’s popular shopping and dining promenade, 17th Street. In addition to top-rated public and private schools, Costa Mesa also offers stone’s-throw proximity to the beach, John Wayne Airport, all freeways and the world-class shopping and entertainment of the South Coast Metro district, including South Coast Plaza and Segerstrom Center for the Arts.
