The State Streets take their name literally: Missouri, Nevada, California, and their neighbors form a compact midcentury pocket beside Mesa Verde, close to the country club and the open mesa at Fairview Park. It is one of those Costa Mesa neighborhoods people find by accident and then quietly refuse to leave.
The housing came out of the same postwar era as the rest of central Costa Mesa: mostly single-story ranches on rectangular lots, with a growing number of substantial remodels and second-story additions. Because the pocket is small and the streets are short, inventory stays scarce, and homes here often trade between neighbors and word-of-mouth buyers before they ever feel widely marketed.
For a downsizing homeowner 55 or older, the pocket offers what the big coastal neighborhoods cannot: a real house on a real lot at a price that usually sits below a Newport sale. Buy at or below the price of the home you sold and Proposition 19 carries your old property tax base across in full. The framework is on the Prop 19 downsizing page.
The golf course sits along the neighborhood's shoulder, Fairview Park's trails start minutes away, and Mesa Verde's shopping handles the daily list. It is a quiet corner of a city that is not always quiet, which is exactly its appeal.
