College Park Neighborhood Costa Mesa
Have you ever had the chance to go through the College Park area of Costa Mesa real estate? College Park is one of the original planned communities of Costa Mesa.
Location and Facts
Built mostly between 1956 and 1959, the neighborhood is bordered to the south by Fairview Road, to the west by Fair Drive, to the North by Harbor Boulevard, and to the east by Merrimac ave. College Park consists of approximately 950 homes. It is one of the unique areas of Costa Mesa real estate because it contains no condo developments, only single family detached homes. Most of the floor plans were built as either three bedroom models or four bedroom models, all between approximately 1400 and 1600 square feet.

Most of the lots in the College Park community range between 6000 and 8000 square feet, but there are a few exceptions with certain lots being more than 9000 square feet.Of course, if you know College Park, then you know it is built right next to Orange Coast College (hence our College Park naming) and also adjacent to the Orange County Fairgrounds, the recently debated piece of land that the state has considered selling off due to it’s deficit.
And of course we have overlooked the obvious: All the streets in College Park are named after great Eastern American Colleges. Universities like Princeton, Amherst, Bowdoin, Notre Dame, Colgate, Rutgers, Bucknell, Fordham, and others just to name a few.
Unique and Different
Like mid-centtury modern architecture? Or perhaps modern with very open floor plans? You can do some really wonderful redesigns to these homes because of they way that they are built. Mid century modernists love the clean lines, low ceilings, or cathedral vaulted ceilings of the floor plans in the College park community. There are many, many remodels done in this neighborhood that have embraced this current design trend.
