A 200-amp electrical panel installed in 2020 ensures the home is ready for today’s lifestyle. Living in Mesa Verde means more than just a great location—you’ll enjoy close proximity to Mesa Verde Country Club, Costa Mesa Golf Course, top-rated schools, and local parks, along with a neighborhood that celebrates community with festive 4th of July gatherings, Halloween fun, and a cherished Christmas parade.
