Santa Ana Heights Homes For Sale

Eastside Costa Mesa’s Secluded Equestrian & Coastal Enclave

A Hidden Gem with a Newport Connection

As a local resident in Mesa Verde, I often tell clients that Santa Ana Heights is the Mesa Verde of the Eastside. It is where you go when you want larger lots, a sense of rural serenity, and a Newport Beach mailing address, all at a meaningful discount to Newport Beach proper. Bordering the Newport Back Bay and the Santa Ana Country Club, this neighborhood is unique for its 20,000+ sq ft lots and its position as one of the last coastal-adjacent communities in Orange County where equestrian zoning is still active.

Custom estate homes for sale in Santa Ana Heights adjacent to Newport Back Bay

Custom estates in Santa Ana Heights

Santa Ana Heights is one of the few coastal-adjacent neighborhoods where you can still find equestrian-zoned properties alongside modern custom-built compounds. The neighborhood spans a wide spectrum from smaller homes and condos near the country club to sprawling estates with direct Back Bay trail access. What makes the area enduringly valuable is the permanence of both the open space adjacency and the Newport Beach mailing address, neither of which can be replicated or built over.

Santa Ana Heights Real Estate FAQ

Is Santa Ana Heights part of Costa Mesa or Newport Beach?

Santa Ana Heights is an unincorporated community under Orange County jurisdiction, not formally part of either Costa Mesa or Newport Beach city limits. However, many addresses carry a Newport Beach, CA 92660 mailing designation, which is one of the neighborhood's distinctive features. The area is adjacent to Eastside Costa Mesa and borders the Upper Newport Bay Nature Preserve. Buyers should verify the specific jurisdiction for any address, as it affects which city services, zoning rules, and permit processes apply.

Can you have horses in Santa Ana Heights?

Yes. Santa Ana Heights has equestrian zoning designations on select parcels that allow horses on the property. The large lot sizes in the neighborhood, often exceeding 20,000 square feet, make it one of the very few coastal-adjacent communities in Orange County where equestrian use is still viable. Not every parcel is equestrian-zoned, so buyers interested in keeping horses should confirm the specific zoning designation for any property with Orange County Planning before making an offer.

What is the Newport Back Bay access like from Santa Ana Heights?

Santa Ana Heights sits directly adjacent to the Upper Newport Bay Nature Preserve, a 752-acre estuary that is one of the largest in Southern California. The Back Bay Loop Trail runs along the preserve perimeter and is accessible on foot or by bike from the neighborhood without getting in a car. The trail connects through to Newport Beach and offers birding, kayaking launch points, and open water views. This park adjacency is a permanent amenity that significantly enhances the lifestyle value of the neighborhood.

What types of homes are available in Santa Ana Heights?

Santa Ana Heights has a wide spectrum of property types. At the entry level, smaller single-family homes and condos sit near the Santa Ana Country Club. At the top end, custom-built modern compounds and sprawling equestrian estates on 20,000 to 40,000+ square foot lots define the luxury segment. The neighborhood also has homes backing directly to the Santa Ana Country Club fairways and properties with direct trail access to the Back Bay.

Tucked away at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in one of Costa Mesa’s most sought-after Back Bay enclaves, 2342 Cynthia Court presents a rare opportunity to own a custom single-family residence in a location where demand continues to rise and opportunities remain incredibly limited. Positioned on the highly desirable Back Bay side of Costa Mesa — away from freeway influence — this home offers an exceptional blend of privacy, lifestyle, and long-term upside just moments from everything that defines Newport Beach and coastal Orange County living. Unlike many nearby properties, this is not a PUD and there are no HOA dues, offering the privacy, ownership experience, and flexibility today’s buyers are increasingly searching for — and rarely finding this close to the coast. From the gated courtyard entry and tranquil fountain, to the rich stonework, custom millwork, crown molding, and expansive living spaces, the home carries a sense of warmth, quality, and timeless character from the moment you arrive. Thoughtfully designed throughout, the residence blends comfort and functionality with inviting spaces ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. At the heart of the home is a chef-inspired kitchen featuring premium Viking appliances, custom cabinetry and paneled appliances, farmhouse sink, stone counters, and generous entertaining space designed for intimate evenings and larger gatherings alike. Natural light pours throughout the home and flows seamlessly into a private backyard retreat complete with low-maintenance turf, spa, and mature lemon tree. The spacious primary suite offers a true retreat, featuring a large walk-in closet, cozy double-sided fireplace, and spa-inspired ensuite with skylights, soaking tub, oversized walk-in shower, dual vanities, and custom finishes throughout. Situated walking distance to the Back Bay trails and nature preserve, and only minutes from Newport Beach, Lido Marina Village, 17th Street, award-winning dining, shopping, top-rated schools, and the beach, this is the type of neighborhood buyers wait years to break into. The Back Bay pocket of Costa Mesa continues to see tremendous pride of ownership, transformation, and demand, making cul-de-sac opportunities like this increasingly rare as buyers continue seeking coastal property with long-term upside near the ocean.

This is the price you've been waiting for: $791/SQ FT for a 2023 construction house. Yes, and this home has the 3 L's: location, light & layout! Don't miss out on the largest & newest home built in Eastside Costa Mesa under $2M. Located in a secluded enclave of just 4 homes, this 4-bedroom, 3-bath home offers 2,400 square feet of beautifully designed living space, anchored by an open floor plan and modern fixtures throughout that make it truly turnkey—no updates needed, just move in and enjoy (a quick escrow is ok too). The showstopper is the spacious great room featuring a kitchen with a massive island and pantry, and an open flow into the dining and living space. This area connects through a bifold wall of doors to the backyard, enabling true indoor-outdoor living that allows the whole main level to open up for entertaining or everyday life. The main floor bedroom and bath with its own private entrance make it ideal for a home office, multigenerational living or a long-term guest, since it feels separate from the rest of the house. Upstairs, a bright loft serves as a second living area — perfect for a media room, playroom, or additional office. The primary suite is a genuine retreat, with a separate soaking tub and shower and a walk-in closet. The secondary bedrooms are generously sized and have large windows letting natural light flood in. Outside, the grass yard is a ready canvas — bring your vision for a hot tub, outdoor kitchen, or play/garden zone and make it your own escape, right off that bifold wall of doors. Tucked at the rear of a private cul-de-sac, the home offers a quiet, low-traffic setting where your kids can bike and play. If you want newer construction, owned solar, and turnkey condition over an older Eastside home with deferred maintenance, this is your chance. At just 3 years old, everything is still new. Owned solar and a tankless water heater mean lower utility costs and none of the aging systems that come with older Eastside homes. Low HOA dues cover yard maintenance. Other great perks include an upstairs laundry room, a finished garage with storage, and parking for up to 6 cars total. Close to 17th Street's shops and restaurants, or head the other direction to the Back Bay trails; Newport Beach, Fashion Island, and South Coast Plaza are minutes away. Highly rated schools are nearby as well as the newly remodeled Brentwood Park. This is THE value play in Eastside Costa Mesa under $2M.
