Costa Mesa is a coastal gem – this Southern California city is situated along some of the West Coast’s most famous beaches, including Huntington Beach and Newport Beach. Sandwiched between the Santa Ana River and Upper Newport Bay, Costa Mesa is nearly surrounded by water. Costa Mesa apartments place you near Costa Mesa Golf Course, Orange Coast College, and John Wayne Airport. Living in Costa Mesa, you’ll have access to I-405 and Highway 55 for easy commutes throughout Orange County.
Shopping in Costa Mesa is fantastic, especially at South Coast Plaza.

After an afternoon of shopping, spend the evening enjoying the symphony or the orchestra at Segerstrom Center for the Arts. The building alone is a work of art, designed by award-winning architect Cesar Pelli. The center contains a 46,000-square-foot Art Plaza, the Judy Morr Theater, the Samueli Theater, the Renee and Henry Segerstrom Concert Hall, and the 3,000-seat Segerstrom Hall.
