Welcome to Costa Mesa

Both Huntington Beach and Costa Mesa border Newport Beach, which makes them ideal for those seeking close proximity to the water. Not only is the beach just a short drive or bike ride away, but there are also award-winning schools, local activities, and culinary delights just around the corner.
 

Huntington Beach: A Coastal Paradise.

Known as Surf City USA, Huntington Beach is famous for easy living. Huntington City Beach—which welcomes over 11 million visitors every year—has even been named America’s Best Beach by Time magazine. Take a stroll along the iconic Huntington Beach Pier and watch the surfers, share s’mores made in the fire pits after a game of beach volleyball, and peruse the many shops of Main Street.
 
Huntington Beach has also become a favorite destination for upscale dining and entertainment. Pacific City houses 191,000 square feet of unique shops and eateries with ocean views, while open-air center Bella Terra features a state-of-the-art movie multiplex, a full spectrum of restaurants, and world-class shopping.
 
Fans of the outdoors flock to the Bolsa Chica Ecological Reserve, an approximately 1,300-acre coastal estuary perfect for hiking and wildlife viewing, and Huntington Central Park, which features sprawling fields, gardens, lakes, and an equestrian center.
 
Huntington Beach offers a variety of homes, from beachside vacation rentals to condos and townhomes to single-family properties. The seaside city stretches across 32 square miles and includes a variety of neighborhoods, including coastal Sunset Beach and Downtown to the inland Beach Boulevard, Central Park, and Goldenwest.
 
 
 
 

Costa Mesa: Vibrant City Of The Arts.

Costa Mesa—located just one mile from the Pacific Coast—is among Orange County’s most eclectic and vibrant cities. It plays home to South Coast Plaza, one of the nation’s largest luxury shopping centers, as well as The Triangle, an outdoor complex offering shops, restaurants, a movie theater, a bowling alley, and more.
 
Celebrate the arts at a Broadway production or concert at Segerstrom Center of the Arts and South Coast Repertory. Local businesses and eateries are plentiful at The CAMP and The LAB, while the nearby OC Fair & Event Center hosts one of the city’s most beloved summer attractions: the Orange County Fair.
 
Costa Mesa encompasses 16 square miles that include 28 parks, two golf courses, 20 public schools, and four college campuses. Each of the city’s neighborhoods offers something unique, from the Mesa Verde Country Club and award-winning schools in Mesa Verde to tree-lined streets perfect for neighborhood gatherings in Eastside Costa Mesa to South Coast Metro’s close proximity to dining, culture, and nightlife.
