Washington
Pavilions Place, Bella Terra and more shopping areas
Bordering central Washington, Pavilions Place is a big-box center anchored by Target. It has many locally owned restaurants, ranging from the relaxed Vietnamese spot Pho Redbo to Dai Sushi, known for authentic dishes and employing sushi chefs from Japan. This retail hub will open a much-anticipated H Mart location in 2025. On the neighborhood’s northern edge, the Bella Terra open-air mall offers entertainment options, from the Cinemark Century Huntington Beach and XD movie theater to The Golf Bar, which pairs indoor golf with cocktails. The mall’s grocery options include Costco and Whole Foods, plus there’s the Huntington Beach Farmers Market next door. South of Bella Terra is a strip mall called Edinger Plaza Shopping Center, which has stores like Michael’s and Dick’s Sporting Goods. Beach Boulevard, which runs north to south, has more retail and fast-food chains.

Washington's ranch-style homes and condos
Centered around the Beach Boulevard commercial district, the rest of Washington is dense and residential. There are limited single-family home options on the west side, including cottages and midcentury ranch-style homes. Many come with yards secured by wrought-iron and white picket fences. These range from $1 million to $1.3 million. “There are many condos and townhouses, two-bed one-bath, and others in the area are bigger and sell for more,” Mora says. These options range from $500,000 to $700,000 depending on both the unit size and community amenities, which can include pools, spas and gated security. There are also many apartment buildings in the area. Its location farther from the beach means that it's slightly more affordable than some other areas of Huntington Beach. Washington's median sales price is $560,000; the median in downtown Huntington Beach is about $1.6 million.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
