Close to Huntington Beach at budget-friendly price
Adams is near the city’s namesake beach but maintains some distance from traffic and tourists. “This part of south Huntington Beach is highly desirable. You’re about 10 minutes from the beach, and you’re right next to Costa Mesa and Fountain Valley,” says Chelsea Roger, a Realtor with Coldwell Banker and a lifelong local. Rising housing prices reflect that desirability, up roughly 12% from 2024 to 2025. “The prices have been low for a long time, but they’re starting to catch up. If you take the same exact lot size, house size and house condition in Goldenwest and put it in Adams, the price would go up by about $200,000," Roger says. "Still, 92646 here is one of the least expensive ocean-touching zip codes in Orange County.” Nearby shopping centers could be another factor in this price increase, considering two major complexes are on the neighborhood’s south side. That, in addition to walkable parks and schools, is usually what brings people to Adams.
Bushard Park is the perfect park to stroll with several of your best friends.
Living in the Adams neighborhood offers a vibrant coastal lifestyle, just minutes from the Huntington Beach Pier, surf, sunsets, and beachside fun.

Huntington State Beach and the Santa Ana River Trail
Huntington State Beach has surfing and sunbathing about 3 miles south, but other recreation spaces are even closer. The Santa Ana River runs just east of the neighborhood.

The largest green space in Costa Mesa at nearly 200 acres, this park has an additional 7 miles of trails and is home to several endangered species. Wardlow Park, just west of Adams, has four baseball diamonds that host Huntington Valley Little League, and other pocket parks are nearby.

Adams housing prices are rising, but many listings are still lower than the median for Huntington Beach. Mobile home parks are on the neighborhood’s north side, above Yorktown Avenue. Units were built anytime between the 1960s and 2020s, and they range from $50,000 to $350,000. Townhomes typically have more inventory on the neighborhood’s south side, toward Adams Avenue. They were also built in the 1960s and often have renovations. They’re between $550,000 and $750,000. Ranch-style homes are more central in the neighborhood.

“Everything you could need” at Adams’ shopping center
The intersection of Adams Avenue and Brookhurst Street is usually busy with shoppers. “Even though I live 10 minutes away in Seacliff, I’m always at that shopping center,” says Chrissy Reilly, a Realtor with Seven Gables Real Estate and a Huntington local for over a decade. “I love the convenience of Whole Foods, Sprouts Farmers Market, Target and Kohl’s in one place. It has pretty much everything you could need.” Reilly also recommends the local restaurant chains here. Woody’s Diner has comfort food with a 1950s surf theme, and with an in-house fish market, Market Broiler specializes in fresh seafood. Another shopping center is about five minutes west, and other popular spots are on the coast, in Downtown Huntington Beach and Pacific City.
With friendly service and a relaxed, beachy atmosphere, Woody’s Diner is a go-to spot for casual dining whether you’re stopping by after a surf session or just craving a great burger.
The local Huntington Beach Whole Foods is a popular grocery store that focuses on offering fresh, natural, and organic products at affordable prices.
