This is a city full of life that is an excellent place for families because there are some K-12 schools that are fundamental. There are also some popular tourist attractions such as South Coast Plaza, which is a great place for anyone to visit! There are also attractions like ice cream places, hamburger joints, and diverse restaurants. Although this city has many attractions, it still has essential places to shop for necessities and groceries like Trader Joes, Target, Costco, and Sam's Club. This is a great place for people that want to have a little bit of everything and have great experiences.
Costa Mesa is near everything - including the beach. It's weather is perfect.
Shops, plazas, dinning, nightlife. medical facilities - all at a close distance.
people are very friendly. Children feel safe and schools are great.
There are many playgrounds and places where the children can play and meet new friends. Shopping is everywhere. Malls, small mom & pop stores, nice
boutiques and small and large stores. Restaurants are the best - from dinning by the beach to restaurants and dinners on every street. Costa Mesa is a few hours drive from the mountains or the night life of Las Vegas.
It is a city for young and old - beautiful weather every day made for great living.

Costa Mesa is a great city with a lot of different things to do and places to eat. I live in Eastside Costa Mesa and it feels very safe and clean. You can drive to the mountains, desert and ocean in a short amount of time. I would recommend Costa Mesa as a place to visit and live!
