Create your dream home in Mesa Verde’s highly sought-after Upper Birds neighborhood. Properties with this upside potential rarely come to market. Positioned on an elevated corner lot overlooking the rolling hills of Fairview Park and the iconic Fairview Park bridge, it’s a rare chance to create something truly special in a neighborhood where location is everything.

Whether your vision is to make it yours over time, perform a major renovation, or entirely new construction– the value here is undeniable. Surrounded by beautifully remodeled and custom homes, this is the type of property buyers wait years to find.

The home offers 5 bedrooms, including a downstairs bedroom and bath, hickory hardwood floors, a brick fireplace, a spacious primary suite, private backyard, covered patio, and a unique setting that captures views of Fairview Park from the kitchen and dining areas.

The lifestyle is what makes Upper Birds so special. Just moments away are Fairview Park’s hundreds of acres of open space, scenic walking and biking trails, the newly renovated Tanager Park with pickleball courts, playground, basketball and volleyball courts, the Costa Mesa Country Club public golf course, and the prestigious Mesa Verde Country Club. Enjoy easy bike access to both Newport Beach and Huntington Beach, along with close proximity to shopping, restaurants, Orange Coast College, the OC Fairgrounds, and top local schools.

Bring your vision and take advantage of one of Costa Mesa’s most sought-after neighborhoods.
