In the heart of Orange County, near the beach
Located in the heart of Orange County, Westside Costa Mesa is an emerging neighborhood that offers easy access to shops and eateries and proximity to the beach. “You’re getting all the perks of beach living, the great weather, and the sea breeze without it being overly expensive,” says Keller Williams broker associate Sean Dezahd, who has been selling in the area since 1996. “It’s considered a little more affordable than many other areas in Costa Mesa, too.”

Costa Mesa allows RV parking in driveways
Prospective buyers weary of the HOAs that rule much of Southern California appreciate Costa Mesa. “People who don’t like the strict rules in Irvine come here because there are very few gated communities,” says Coldwell Banker’s Brian Gibney, who has over 20 years of experience. “This is one of the only cities in the region to allow RV parking in driveways.” Westside Costa Mesa is a mix of single-family homes, condos and townhouses. Most are California ranch-style homes built in the 1950s and ‘60s. Pricing is between $900,000 for something needing updates and $1.7 million for something boxy and contemporary. Condos and townhomes start at around $800,000 and can climb as high as $1.5 million.
Westside Costa Mesa allows residents to park their RVs and boats in their driveways.

Fairview Park is the community's crown jewel
Costa Mesa is an outdoor lover's paradise with easy beach access and many neighborhood parks. Newport Beach is about 2 miles away, and Huntington State Beach is about 4. Situated on over 200 acres with five distinct wild habitats, Fairview Park is the community's crown jewel. The park promises scenic views and hiking trails and hosts free concerts on Tuesdays in July. There is abundant green space and a model airplane runway where hobbyists gather. On the eastern part of the park, Goat Hill Junction Railroad is a human-sized model train that offers free rides to kids and adults. Golf enthusiasts can play a round at the Costa Mesa Country Club, a public course on the city's west side that offers two courses, chipping and pitching greens, and a driving range.
Westside Costa Mesa residents will enjoy the mini train ride at Goat Hill Junction Railroad.

Multiple business districts for shopping and dining
Westside Costa Mesa is about 5 miles from world-class shopping and dining at South Coast Plaza, but many places are much closer to home. There is a collection of Mexican dining establishments near West 19th Street and Placentia Avenue. Wahoo’s Fish Tacos and Birrieria Guadalajara are two standout spots with great reviews from diners. Other restaurant options include 2145 Eats, which has made the Orange County 75 Best Restaurants List every year since 2018, and MoonGoat Coffee, an industrial-chic eatery that features a weekend brunch. There is another commercial corridor along West 17th Street that has a PetSmart and a Trader Joe’s for stocking up on groceries.

Annual Orange County Fair
Costa Mesa hosts over a half-dozen annual events, including the Orange County Fair, which attracts over one million visitors annually. In 2023, the fair ran from mid-July to mid-August, with 12 sold-out days during its 23-day run. More than 400,000 stuffed toys were won by fairgoers in the carnival midway. There are also community runs, an annual fish fry, the OC marathon and community events that celebrate the Fourth of July and the Christmas holiday.

Easy highway access and proximity to the beach
Westside Costa Mesa is just 2 miles from the coast, so major thoroughfares like the Costa Mesa Freeway and the Pacific Coast Highway are heavily trafficked areas. “Traffic is always heavy near the beach, but you can actually get to Huntington Beach without getting on the freeways,” Gibney says. I-405, which connects the broader region, is about 5 miles north of the neighborhood. For commuters, downtown Los Angeles is about 45 miles northwest of the city, a heavy-lift drive that can take as long as an hour and 40 minutes during rush hours. John Wayne Airport is about 5 miles via the Costa Mesa Freeway, and Hoag Hospital is under 2 miles away in Newport Beach.
Westside Costa Mesa is just minutes from Pacific Coast Highway.
