Outdoor spaces were designed with concrete patios and pathways, improved drainage, lush landscaping, and a fully updated front yard irrigation system. Set within one of Costa Mesa’s most beloved communities, the Lower Birds neighborhood is known for its friendly atmosphere, single-entry layout with limited traffic, and the popular annual Fourth of July parade that brings neighbors together.
