The Costa Mesa rental market
What sets Costa Mesa apart is Costa Mesa represents a working market within California where landlords manage long-term rental portfolios across single family and small multifamily stock. Costa Mesa holds roughly 111,918 residents, with rental housing that spans craftsman cottage, mid-century modern, mid-rise apartment, condo tower, and single family across hill neighborhoods.
We lease to California Civil Code Section 1940 et seq, the framework California Department of Real Estate enforces, and screen to fair housing standards on every applicant. Across Costa Mesa Square, Costa Mesa District, and Brookside, mid-century modern draws its own applicant pool, and we market to it directly. Demand patterns differ from Costa Mesa Square and Costa Mesa District through Brookside, and we read each before listing.
