The City of Costa Mesa is a lovely city with some wonderful features. The census data puts the population at about 117,178 as of January 1, 2010

Costa Mesa’s local economy relies heavily on retail.  The most notable shopping center is South Coast Plaza, a HUGE & beautiful shopping center containing approximately 322 stores. It’s sales volume is among the highest volume regional shopping centers in the nation generating more than one billion dollars annually. WOW! That’s some serious shopping.

The area around South Coast Plaza is known as South Coast Metro (contains parts of Costa Mesa and Santa Ana) and is the area of highly sought after real estate.  This area is highly accessible by three freeways…the 405, 55 and 73 freeways.  So it’s a great location for commuters. Another popular neighborhood is Mesa Verde, a community of older homes on tree lined streets, close to golf courses.

Costa Mesa is also home to some local art culture at the The Orange County Performing Arts Center and South Coast Repertory Theater.  These are also close to South Coast Plaza.

Another notable feature is the Orange County Fairgrounds, which hosts one of the largest fairs in California (Orange County Fair) each summer. The Fair receives more than one million visitors each year! The local swap meet (Orange County Swap Meet) is held most weekends on the Fairgrounds year round (except when the Fair is running) and is a fun place to walk around.
