Northside Costa Mesa

Northside sits inland from the coastal and cultural corridors, offering the city's most generous lot sizes at its most accessible price points, typically from $900,000 to $1.5 million for single-family homes on larger parcels. The neighborhood is a mix of older tract homes and some newer builds, drawing families who want more square footage without moving into the higher-pressure sub-markets closer to Newport Beach. The trade-off in commute time is one many families make deliberately for the value it delivers.
