Property management
in Costa Mesa, CA.
NextGen Properties is headquartered right here in Costa Mesa — delivering expert residential management for apartments, homes, and condos across the city since 2000.
We're not just managing
Costa Mesa — we live here.
There's a difference between a property management company that operates in Costa Mesa and one that's actually headquartered here. NextGen Properties is the latter. Our office is at 620 Terminal Way, our team members are Costa Mesa residents, and we've been managing properties in this city for over 20 years.
That means when you call us about your rental on Baker Street or your condo near South Coast Metro, you're talking to someone who knows the neighborhood, knows the local market rate, and knows the maintenance vendors who can be there within hours — not days.
Costa Mesa is one of Orange County's most dynamic rental markets — from artist lofts near the OC Fair Grounds to luxury condos along the 17th Street corridor. We manage across all of it, and we know what every type of property needs to perform at its best.
