Help a girl out!!

I’m planning to drive/walk around Costa Mesa looking for FOR RENT signs and smaller/private rentals that may not make it onto Zillow. Any specific streets, intersections, neighborhoods, or buildings I should check out?

Looking around $2–3k for a studio, 1BR, or 2BR. Must have central AC + in-unit W/D.

I especially love lofts, high/vaulted ceilings, huge windows, lots of natural light, open layouts, and interesting architecture, plus some private outdoor space.

Would also love to be walkable to coffee/restaurants. I’ve been looking around The LAB/CAMP, South Coast Metro, Eastside, and the Newport border, but I’m open to other pockets.

Would really appreciate any specific streets/buildings to drive by, smaller landlords/property managers to check, or complexes you’d recommend or avoid!

Looking for someone to take over my lease at Las Palmas Apartment Homes in Irvine starting September 1st.
