A residential neighborhood with plentiful recreation
Mesa Verde, a neighborhood in Costa Mesa, has a name that translates to “green table.” It fits a place teeming with parks, hiking trails and golf courses, ideal for outdoorsy residents seeking an active lifestyle. Even swimmers and surfers can flock to the neighborhood: “Costa Mesa is very desirable city nestled next to the ocean. It’s by Newport Beach and Huntington Beach,” says Heather Applegate who works with Mesa Group Real Estate and has over a decade of experience in the area. Although Mesa Verde is a city neighborhood, it has a calm suburban feel with midcentury cul-de-sac developments and well-rated public schools. “It’s nice and quiet, family-friendly, and the location is great, too — you’ve got access to the freeway and it’s close to the beach,” says Realtor Nick Skawinski, who works with First Team Realty and has over a decade of experience.
Single-family homes are the most common type of housing ranging from mid-century to contemporary
Mesa Verde is bike-friendly, with several hiking trails available for use.

Parks, golf and nearby beaches
For fresh air, many locals head to centrally located Estancia Park. The sprawling recreation space offers a dose of history: the Diego Sepulveda Adobe, a restored adobe dwelling dating back to Costa Mesa’s earliest days. Residents can also find open fields dotted with trees and plenty of picnic tables alongside barbecues, ideal for hosting parties. Shaded by a thicket of trees, Tanager Park offers pickleball courts, an open grassy area for walking and a playground. “I love Tanager Park. It’s one of my favorite parks in the city,” Applegate says. Golfers can join the Mesa Verde Country Club, located in the northwest corner of the neighborhood. The private 18-hole course and clubhouse have hosted many competitions from the Haig National Open to the United States Junior Girls Championship. Hikers can visit Fairview Park, over 200 acres of land featuring scenic trails along rolling hills and meadows. Those seeking a swim destination can visit Newport Beach, known for its scenic pier, or Huntington Beach, which features a paved bike trail.
Head over to Mesa Verde Country Club for a fun day of golf.
The Sepulveda Adobe was built in 1820 and is one of the oldest structures in Orange County.

Midcentury architecture
Mesa Verde’s residential streets and cul-de-sacs wind throughout the neighborhood, cutting down on traffic and giving kids plenty of space to play. The yards are sometimes compact but landscaped with flora, and backyards often have patios or pools. “It’s known for having beautiful planned communities and tree-lined streets,” Applegate says. Many of the subdivisions were built in the 1960s and 1970s, resulting in mostly midcentury architecture. Ranch-style homes range from $1.5 million to $2.1 million, while larger midcentury houses closer to the country club can start from $2.5 million and go up to $2.9 million. Currently, the neighborhood’s market is undergoing some changes: “Inventory is very depressed, and we’re seeing prices rise, so the median home price has increased over the last year,” Applegate says.
Some areas of Mesa Verde are gated, providing additional security and exclusivity for residents.
Larger more contemporary residences can be found in gated and non-gated Mesa Verde communities.

Along Harbor Boulevard, located on the eastern edge of the neighborhood, there are many strip mall shopping centers with large chain stores like Target and grocery stores including Sprouts. “The size of the city is much smaller than surrounding areas. There are mom and pop restaurants and shops that not all cities offer,” Applegate says. One of the local eateries is Doria’s Haus of Pizza, which has been serving the area for 37 years. It features Italian dishes in a cozy setting lit by neon signs. Others include the Caffeine Club, a bright cafe, and Simply Fish, a seafood spot meets sports bar. For endless shopping, residents are less than five miles from South Coast Plaza, a well-known shopping mall in northern Costa Mesa offering over 275 retailers.
