Amazing community and incredible price!

The Leeward Apartments reside in Eastside Costa Mesa CA. The area is surrounded by incredible restaurants, the beach, a community produce store, and many more incredible spots for entertainment. Typical apartments in this area are VERY expensive and the Leeward apartments are actually affordable to live in this great area. It is a non-smoking community, very well maintained landscape, has a resident BBQ for use, and the Land lord is very professional and friendly. It is an affordable price for a priceless location snd is a place I hope to reside for a while.
