Costa Mesa, California
This thriving town of just under 110,000 people is a focal point of Orange County.Originally, Spanish missionaries built a small way station used by cattle herders and, by the 1880s, it began to grow. First as an agricultural area known for its orchards and during World War II as the site of Santa Ana Air Base, a key point for the war in the Pacific.
Today, the city's economy is formed by some light industrial manufacturing but mostly by the famous South Coast Plaza Shopping Center, which is one of the largest retail sales sites in the U.S. Costa Mesa is a very good example of Southern California coastal lifestyle.
Since the city's border are only one mile from the Pacific, it enjoys a smaller town atmosphere while sandwiched between the huge cities of Los Angeles and San Diego. In searching for your Costa Mesa apartment, you'll find a city of both the old and the new.
County Fair
Aside from being near the ocean, there's plenty to do in Costa Mesa. The Performing Arts Center is rich in both symphonic music and opera. The repertory theatre has very good performances. The annual Orange County Fair is a huge event which harkens back to the city's agrarian roots as well as providing enormous entertainment. You'll find many parks maintained by the city, golf courses, and, of course, very good libraries.It's truly a city aimed at providing an easy lifestyle.Steak and Tacos
Eating out in Costa Mesa is a treat. The city boasts one of the best steakhouses in Orange County, Mastro's, which gets rave reviews from locals and tourists alike. Taco Mesa is a local favorite. It is housed in an old Taco Bell but the food is far from fast food. Sit outside and enjoy their blackened shrimp.
There's a very good selection of all different Asian style foods around town too. No doubt, there'll be a good one near your new Costa Mesa apartment.
Dance Till the Wee Hours
Nightlife can range from bars with peanut shells on the floor to upscale, chic nightclubs. The neighborhood around your Costa Mesa apartment will have great every day types of places but once settled you'll want to check out places like Sutra. It has both dinner and dancing.
Club Vegas is modeled after clubs in its namesake and is one of the hottest places in town on weekends. Or if you are a night owl, try the Shark Club where dancing goes on until 3 a.m. Costa Mesa is great!
