The community has a mix of smaller detached homes and multifamily properties. There are Spanish-style homes with red-tiled roofs and stucco exteriors, as well as simple bungalows with covered porches. Duplexes, triplexes and quadruplexes are common. “I feel like a lot of people come to that area because it’s an area that is in transition,” says Realtor Alex Sanchez with eXp Realty of Southern Ca, Inc. “More and more buyers are noticing the location. More people are coming into the neighborhood, and every time there's a new family, they remodel and update the home and the landscape.” You’ll usually see homes with gated front yards, long driveways and alley access. Prices here range from the mid-$300,000s to around $900,000.

Dining and shopping around Florence-Graham

The neighborhood has many restaurants throughout the area, especially along major streets like Florence Avenue. “Newer, younger families are coming into the area, and that brings new, hip, business,” Sanchez says. “I’ve noticed a lot of coffee spots, brunch spots.” Among the new and more established places, there are popular options like:

  • Birrieria Jalisco, a go-to for birria tacos, quesadillas and consommé with tender, slow-cooked meat
  • Mariscos La Tovara Estilo Nayarit, a seafood-style restaurant that serves fresh ceviche and tostadas
  • A Huevo Café, a brunch spot with Mexican-inspired plates like chilaquiles and birria pambazo
Shopping in the area spans grocery stores and local shops, with a larger retail center in nearby Walnut Park. “It’s a community with deep roots, so I would say when people are buying there, they have to have the community in mind and support local businesses to help the area thrive,” Sanchez says. Local businesses include Elias Pet Shop and Florence Bakery.
