Our View On Costa Mesa
Three things keep Costa Mesa apartments leased: South Coast Plaza and the surrounding retail and office district, Orange Coast College and Vanguard University, and corporate employers near John Wayne Airport.
With South Coast Plaza on one side and Newport Beach on the other, Costa Mesa attracts service workers, students, and young professionals to a rental market heavy on small 1960s and 1970s buildings. Its Eastside and Westside streets offer classic fourplex and courtyard product where coastal proximity underpins long-term demand.
We look for multifamily properties of 5+ units in areas such as Eastside Costa Mesa, Westside Costa Mesa, and Mesa Verde — from well-kept stabilized buildings to properties that need renovation, better management, or lease-up.
