Nevis Cir, Mesa Verde

I love visiting the Mesa Verde community of Cost Mesa. Any opportunity to visit a friend or attend an event at the beautiful Mesa Verde Country Club is welcomed. It’s a well established community, built up in the last 1960’s and 1970’s and the homes range from big and stately in and around the golf course, to nice, family-sized tracts. The streets are blanketed with mature trees and foliage that add wonderful color all year round.

My friend lives on Nevis Circle in a neighborhood bordered by the lovely Estancia Park. We spent an afternoon picnicking there and I thoroughly enjoyed my visit to the Estancia Adobe at the park where I learned so much about the history of Costa Mesa and Orange County. A lot of family activities and community events are held in the park.

They have a family membership at the country club, just a few blocks away, which is actually a very affordable way to enjoy the club’s activities. It's the site of many holiday gatherings and family oriented events.

Mesa Verde is bordered on the south by Fairview Regional Park, so there is no shortage of access to activities and natural surroundings. Of course, with the 55 freeway nearby the beach is also right at the door step and with the Santa Ana River Trail so close, a beach bike ride is easy. With the 405 freeway just a few minutes away, trips to South Coast Plaza and other Orange County destinations are very convenient.
