Costa Mesa is located between Los Angeles and San Diego, just a mile from the beach. Costa Mesa started modestly as an agricultural community when it was incorporated in 1953. It grew into a modern, vibrant city with its famous Segerstrom Center for the Arts, shopping, 30 well-maintained parks, a golf course and three libraries. Costa Mesa is a short drive from some of the most famous Californian beach towns such as Laguna Beach, Huntington Beach and Newport Beach, as well as a quick trip to Disneyland Resort.
