Costa Mesa – The Vibrant Heart of Orange County

Looking for beautiful Southern California living? Perhaps you’re still trying to define exactly what that means to you? One Southern California city that brings you a unique blend of commerce, culture, cuisine and the relaxing environment to put you at ease is beautiful Costa Mesa.

Since becoming a city more than 60 years ago, Costa Mesa has transformed from a quiet community into the vibrant heart of Orange County.

The City of Arts

Dubbed the “City of the Arts,” Costa Mesa is home to the nationally-known performing arts hub, Segerstrom Center for the Arts, and the Tony-winning South Coast Repertory, a mecca for play-development.

If performing arts aren’t your thing, head to the Westside, a bohemian district full of bars, hangouts and artisans. Check out The Wayfarer, Casa Costa Mesa and SOCIAL on 19th Street.

At one of America’s largest and most successful shopping centers, South Coast Plaza, you’ll find innovative retail scenes like The LAB, The Camp and South Coast Collection, a stylish re tail center that draws a crowd. If high-end luxury stores are more your speed, stroll into prestigious department stores like Saks Fifth Avenue, Tiffany & Co., Chanel, Gucci, Louis Vuitton and more. Overall, South Coast Plaza generates nearly $2 billion dollars in a given year.

Many of Orange County’s best restaurants can be found throughout Costa Mesa  – Taco Maria, Hana re, Arc and Mesa. Taco Maria’s Carlos Salgado was named Best New Chef by Food & Wine magazine, an award bestowed on only 10 young chefs across the country each year.

Recent developments show more cultural and commercial growth on the horizon for Costa Mesa. In March, the Los Angeles Chargers announced that they are moving their headquarters and summer training camp to town. The team will make an estimated $1 million in improvements to the Jack Hammett Sports Complex.

Costa Mesa has grown tremendously during its history and the city continues to trend upward.
