Known as the City of the Arts, Costa Mesa blends creative energy with laid-back Southern California living. Located just minutes from the coast, this urban-suburban hub is home to world-class performing arts, culinary hotspots, and a community of artists, entrepreneurs, and families alike.

The cultural heartbeat of the city beats strongest at the Segerstrom Center for the Arts — hosting Broadway shows, symphonies, and ballet performances year-round. Nearby, South Coast Plaza offers premier shopping and fine dining, while The Camp and The Lab serve up a more bohemian take on local culture.

Each summer, the Orange County Fair brings food, live music, and carnival fun to town — a local favorite that draws visitors from across the region. But Costa Mesa’s charm goes well beyond events. It's a lifestyle built on access, authenticity, and artistry.

Real estate in Costa Mesa is just as diverse as its people. You'll find everything from vintage bungalows and beach-close condos to modern new builds and sprawling single-story ranches. Neighborhoods like Eastside Costa Mesa are known for their walkability and family-friendly vibe, while Mesa Verde offers quiet streets, golf course views, and access to the Mesa Verde Country Club.

Families appreciate the variety of parks and schools nearby, including top-rated private academies and public schools. You’re also just a short drive to Newport Beach, Huntington Beach, and John Wayne Airport — making Costa Mesa ideal for those who want to be close to everything without the coastal markup.

Whether you’re a first-time buyer, investor, or looking to upgrade to a larger home, Costa Mesa is one of the most dynamic and rewarding places to live in Orange County. Contact Verso Homes to schedule a private tour or explore homes for sale in Costa Mesa today.
