The Best Neighborhoods in Costa Mesa for Trick-or-Treating

Halloween in Costa Mesa is a special kind of magic — the streets fill with laughter, lights, and families soaking in the spirit of community. Every corner of this city offers something a little different, but a few neighborhoods have become local legends for their festive energy and friendly vibe.

Below are some of Costa Mesa’s favorite spots for trick-or-treating, whether you’re chasing the best candy or just enjoying the warm neighborhood feel that makes this city so loved.

🏡 Mesa Verde Inner Loop

If you’re after a full-on Halloween spectacle, the Inner Loop is the place to go. Streets like Maui, Samar, and Baker are known for their elaborate decorations, themed houses, and welcoming residents who go all out. Expect big crowds, creative setups, and the kind of community energy that defines Mesa Verde living.

🌟 The State Streets

The State Streets strike that perfect balance between fun and family-friendly. You’ll find front yards glowing with pumpkins and ghosts, young kids running from house to house, and neighbors who genuinely love seeing everyone out enjoying the night. Not too scary, not too quiet — just the right mix for families with little ones.

👻 Mesa Del Mar

Located near TeWinkle Park and the Costa Mesa Tennis Center, Mesa Del Mar is another fantastic family spot. This neighborhood always shows up for Halloween with lots of decorated homes, families walking together, and tons of trick-or-treaters. It’s one of those places that captures the heart of Costa Mesa — friendly, fun, and full of community pride.

🍬 Freedom Track Homes

Over on the Westside, the Freedom Track Homes are a hidden gem for trick-or-treating. The wide, tree-lined streets make it perfect for walking, and you’ll see groups of families out together well into the evening. Many homes decorate for the occasion, and the neighborhood often feels like one big block party — relaxed, festive, and welcoming.

🎃 Eastside Costa Mesa

Eastside is known for its eclectic charm — and Halloween is no exception. You’ll find everything from classic craftsman homes with glowing pumpkins to modern builds dressed up in spider webs and lights. Expect lively crowds, plenty of candy, and a fun, walkable vibe that makes it one of the most popular spots in town.
