There’s a new addition to the Costa Mesa Vintage Homes video series! Realtor Renee Pina takes us on a tour of 241 Broadway, the featured home for May in the Historic Properties of Costa Mesa – 2023 Calendar.
Our January/February 2023 newsletter is now online! This edition includes “Orange Coast College’s 75th Anniversary: Review of Academic Programs”, “Newport Pop Festival” by Mari Page, and “Kona Lanes Memories” by Estelle Hughes.
Renee Pina has produced another Historic Homes calendar, this time featuring some of the city’s most historic properties. In fact, most of the properties are eligible for the city’s historic register. Each month features an image of the property as well as a little history from its owners, making it a community-driven project. Help us to raise awareness about the value of these homes to Costa Mesa and that they are vital to protecting the charm and nostalgia of our neighborhoods!
Now available for sale here in our online shop, as well as in person at the Historical Society Museum.
