Costa Mesa Living: Creekside Comfort Near the Best of Orange County
Featured Property: 3421 Timber Lake #42, Costa Mesa, CA 92626
There are homes you choose because of the floor plan, and there are homes you choose because of the lifestyle that surrounds them.
At 3421 Timber Lake #42 in Costa Mesa, you get a little of both.
Offered at $619,999, this 2-bedroom, 2-bath condominium features approximately 1,270 square feet, a two-car garage, a private creekside patio, vaulted ceilings, a wet bar, central air and heat, and access to the pool, pond and landscaped grounds of the Village Creek community.
But one of the property’s biggest advantages may simply be its location.
Why Costa Mesa?
Costa Mesa has developed a distinctive identity within Orange County by combining residential neighborhoods with major shopping, dining, entertainment, arts and outdoor recreation.
Known as the City of the Arts®, Costa Mesa is centrally located in Orange County and sits close to the coast while offering its own collection of cultural destinations, restaurants, shops and entertainment.
For someone living at 3421 Timber Lake, many of those amenities are right outside the neighborhood.
South Coast Plaza Is Right Nearby
One of the most recognizable Costa Mesa destinations is South Coast Plaza.
With more than 230 boutiques, world-class dining and luxury retailers, South Coast Plaza has become far more than a traditional shopping mall. It is one of Southern California’s major shopping destinations and anchors the South Coast Metro area.
That makes the location of 3421 Timber Lake especially convenient. Whether you’re meeting friends for dinner, shopping for the afternoon or simply running errands, you don’t have to travel far to reach one of Orange County’s largest concentrations of retail and dining.
Arts, Theater and Culture
Just beyond South Coast Plaza is another major part of the Costa Mesa lifestyle: the arts.
Segerstrom Center for the Arts presents Broadway productions, concerts, dance, jazz and other performances across its Costa Mesa campus. The surrounding Arts District also includes South Coast Repertory and the UC Irvine Langson Orange County Museum of Art.
Costa Mesa even offers a public Art Walk featuring more than 20 murals, sculptures and other works throughout the city.
For residents, this means an evening out can be much more than dinner and a movie. Live theater, music, art and cultural events are woven into the surrounding community.
Dining, Coffee and Something Different
Costa Mesa also has a personality that extends well beyond luxury shopping.
The city’s SoBeCa district offers two distinctly local destinations: The LAB Anti-Mall and The CAMP.
The LAB mixes independent businesses, restaurants and creative spaces in an unconventional open-air environment, while The CAMP focuses on an eco-conscious, active-lifestyle atmosphere with restaurants, shops and gathering spaces.
Elsewhere in Costa Mesa, 17th Street offers boutiques, restaurants and neighborhood hangouts, while SOCO and The OC Mix combine food, coffee, home design and specialty retail.
In other words, there is always somewhere new to grab breakfast, meet someone for coffee, shop locally or spend a casual afternoon.
Room to Get Outside
Living in Costa Mesa also provides plenty of opportunities to step away from the busier parts of Orange County.
Fairview Park encompasses approximately 208 acres and provides trails, open space, wildlife habitat and scenic areas for walking, running and biking.
Costa Mesa’s location also puts residents within easy reach of Newport Beach and other coastal destinations, giving homeowners the ability to enjoy the restaurants and entertainment of the city one day and head toward the coast the next.
And Then You Come Home to the Creek
That contrast is what makes 3421 Timber Lake #42 interesting.
After spending the day shopping, dining, visiting the arts district or exploring Orange County, you can return to a community surrounded by mature landscaping, waterways and peaceful outdoor spaces.
The home’s living area opens to a private patio overlooking the creek, creating a setting that feels removed from the activity just outside the community.
Inside, elevated ceilings help create an open feel, while the wet bar, interior shutters and water views add character. Upstairs, both bedrooms and the laundry area are separated from the main living spaces, and the primary bedroom includes two closets.
Additional features include a two-car garage, central air and heat, ceiling fans, refrigerator, washer and dryer, along with access to the Village Creek community pool, gazebo and pond area.
The Best of Both Worlds
Costa Mesa offers a combination that can be difficult to find: major shopping and entertainment, an established arts scene, independent restaurants and businesses, outdoor recreation, proximity to the coast—and residential communities that still provide a quieter place to come home to.
For a buyer looking for that balance, 3421 Timber Lake #42 offers an opportunity to experience Costa Mesa from a unique creekside setting.
