DESCRIPTION

One of South Coast Metro’s most defining features is its exceptional connectivity. With immediate access to the 405, 55, and 73 freeways, commuting throughout Orange County and beyond is effortless. Residents enjoy proximity to John Wayne Airport, making both business and leisure travel incredibly convenient. Whether heading to the stunning beaches of Newport, the business hubs of Irvine, or the cultural hotspots of Los Angeles, South Coast Metro offers a central location that puts everything within reach.

At the heart of the neighborhood lies the world-renowned South Coast Plaza, one of the largest and most prestigious shopping centers on the West Coast. Home to over 275 luxury retailers, high-end boutiques, and fine dining establishments, this premier destination generates more than $1.5 billion in annual sales—making it the highest-grossing shopping center in the United States. Adjacent to South Coast Plaza, The Westin South Coast Plaza and the vibrant Metro Pointe provide additional retail, dining, and entertainment options.

Mid-century single-family homes with spacious backyards and custom landscaping line the quiet residential streets, while contemporary multi-level residences add a modern touch to the area. The average home price in the neighborhood is just over $900,000, with more expansive properties reaching upwards of $1.5 million. Additionally, stylish condominiums range from $400,000 to $700,000, offering an excellent entry point into the market, and affordable manufactured homes at Plaza Village start in the $200,000 range.
