Spanish-style and Craftsman homes near multifamily options

Craftsman bungalows and Spanish-style homes on small lots sit alongside multifamily properties like duplexes and small apartment buildings. Detached homes range from the lower $400,000s to the upper $800,000s. Condos, on the other hand, usually sell in the $400,000s. “The advantage of living here is that it’s really close to downtown and the beach, but it's really affordable,” says Realtor Anthony Walker of Buckingham Investments, who has been selling homes in Long Beach since 2015. "It’s probably the most affordable neighborhood that is close to the beach in all of southern California." Cambodia Town’s home prices are lower than in surrounding areas like Hellman and Bluff Heights.

Anaheim Street is the place to dine out

The neighborhood is known for its locally owned restaurants lining Anaheim Street. The options range from Vietnamese sandwich shops to sit-down Cambodian spots. Some of the most popular restaurants are:

  • Phnom Penh Noodle Shack, a family-owned restaurant that's been serving Cambodian dishes since 1985
  • Monorom Cambodian Restaurant, known for its beef kabobs and noodle soups
  • El Sauz Restaurant, a longtime go-to for Mexican food with a late-night taco window

Cultural celebrations bring people from across Long Beach

The area's signature event is the Cambodia Town Parade and Culture Festival held each spring, when a parade travels down Anaheim Street with traditional dance troupes and elaborate floats, followed by live performances and food. “It’s a celebration of blessings, recognizing our ancestors and continuing [to] build Karma,” says Bopha Yim of the Cambodian Association of America, who grew up in Cambodia Town. “During New Year's, lots of people gather, and we try to unify and join together in harmony.”

Unique shops and grocery options across the neighborhood

The area's shopping is concentrated along Anaheim Street, with a mix of specialty grocers, jewelry stores and boutiques. “There are a few cultural Cambodian stores in Long Beach," Yim says. "They have fittings and jewelry you can try on. It’s a lot of work, so it's cool to have ladies who can dress you.” Dong Mai Market is a grocery store carrying international produce, spices and prepared foods. You can also head to the Pike Outlets in downtown Long Beach for more national brands.

Strong public and private school options

The neighborhood is part of the Long Beach Unified School District, and many kids attend nearby schools like Lincoln Elementary School, which gets a B from Niche. The A-rated Long Beach Polytechnic High School is also nearby and offers specialized learning pathways that focus on topics like digital art, business and health.

Walking, biking and driving in and around the neighborhood

Sidewalks line the streets in Cambodia Town, so residents can walk or bike to the restaurants and shops on Anaheim Street. Jobs are also nearby, so it’s easy to drive to spots like the Port of Long Beach and aerospace engineering businesses in Torrance and Hawthorne. Interstates 405 and 710 are the main routes for commuting. The Long Beach Airport is 5 miles away, another convenient attraction near the neighborhood. Traffic is a constant issue across Los Angeles County, so trips are usually longer during peak traffic hours. Long Beach Transit and Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority buses run in the area, and most people take buses to the beach or the airport.

Where to go around Cambodia Town to get outside

MacArthur Park is the neighborhood’s main green space, with a basketball court, open field and the Manazar Gamboa Community Theater. One of the biggest draws to the park is the Homeland Cultural Center, where you can sign up for cultural dance classes and art workshops. For more things to do, residents might follow the bike lanes down East 10th Street to Recreation Park, known for its two golf courses, dog park and summer concerts.
