The Mesa Verde Calendar Is Different

There’s the calendar everyone follows. And then there’s the Mesa Verde calendar.

Around here, you don’t necessarily need to look at the date to know the season is changing. You can see it happening throughout the neighborhood.

Summer vacations start winding down. Backpacks replace beach bags. The morning school traffic returns. Adams, California, Tanager and Estancia start filling back up. The days are still warm, the evenings are still long, and technically, summer isn’t over—but the rhythm of the neighborhood is changing.

For those of us who spend a lot of time in Mesa Verde, it’s a familiar feeling.

And it’s one of the things that makes this neighborhood different.

Back to School. Back to the Neighborhood.

Why Buyers Keep Choosing Mesa Verde Even When They Could Afford Anywhere Else

There are plenty of places in Orange County where you can buy a beautiful home.

• New construction.
• Bigger homes.
• Flashier finishes.
• Higher price tags.

Yet year after year, buyers who could live almost anywhere keep choosing Mesa Verde.

Why?

Because at some point, buying a home stops being about the house.

It becomes about the life you're going to live there.

You Feel It Before You Can Explain It

Drive through Mesa Verde once, and you'll notice the trees.

Drive through it twice, and you'll notice the homes.

Spend an afternoon here, and you'll notice something else entirely.

People are outside.

Kids are riding bikes.

Neighbors stop to talk.

Families are walking to the park.

Dogs know the route…

Why Mesa Verde's State Streets Are One of Costa Mesa's Best-Kept Secrets

If you’ve spent any time house-hunting in Costa Mesa, you’ve probably noticed something: some neighborhoods just feel different.

More charm. More pride of ownership. More community. More demand.

And tucked into Mesa Verde in one of those places that locals quietly love — the State Streets.

Let’s break down why this pocket of Costa Mesa has become one of the most desirable places to live in Orange County.

1. It’s Costa Mesa… But With a Neighborhood Feel

The State Streets offer something that’s getting harder to find: a true neighborhood vibe.

Tree-lined streets, quiet cul-de-sacs, families out walking dogs, kids riding bikes, neighbors who actually know each other — it feels like a throwback in the best way.

You’re still minutes…

Dear Mesa Verde Neighbors: A Letter From Matt Kanoudi and The L3 Real Estate

WE ARE HALFWAY THROUGH 2025!

Dear Mesa Verde Neighbors,

Another 6 months have passed since my last neighborhood update, and it feels like so much has happened in such a short amount of time! Mesa Verde continues to be the hottest place to buy in Costa Mesa with Eastside Costa Mesa being the only comparable demand. I vehemently believe (with an incredible amount of bias) that our area is beyond anything Eastside Costa Mesa could ever hope to be. There is not one tract in the city with the sense of community we have let alone with an incredible country club located at its epicenter…and we do not have airplanes flying overhead every five minutes!

2025 has been wild thus far for varying reasons. Whether it be political, economical, or societal, we…
