Costa Mesa Homes For Sale Over $1,500,000
Above $1.5M, Costa Mesa delivers homes that compete directly with Newport Beach — at a meaningful discount. Eastside Costa Mesa (92627) dominates this tier, with deep lots, fully remodeled interiors, and walkability to 17th Street that Newport Beach buyers cross zip codes for. You will also find premium offerings in Mesa Verde — larger golf course and park-backing lots where the right remodel pushes well past this threshold. At this price point, inventory is thin and well-priced homes move fast.
