Laid back in south Long Beach

Saint Mary’s neighborhood is not as flashy as other south Long Beach communities, especially compared to adjacent, bustling Downtown, and that fact is a large part of its appeal. “It’s a low-key neighborhood, with some historic buildings,” says Long Beach Realtor Shannon Paul of Zaia Estates. “But its biggest selling point is definitely location. It has a more residential feel than Downtown Long Beach, but Downtown is literally next door.”

Anaheim Street Station and busy streets

“You’re close to a lot of things to do, and the freeway is close by, so it’s easy to get around,” says Esther Chun, Long Beach local and real estate agent at Y Realty. Saint Mary’s sidewalks and neat grid layout make it easy to get around on foot. Shopping, dining and public transit are within walking distance. Anaheim Street Station connects the neighborhood to the LA Metro A-Line, which runs from Downtown Long Beach to Downtown LA. The city bus also circulates in the neighborhood. Parking can be an issue, and the area is prone to congestion because of the hospital.

Seventh Street and Anaheim Street restaurants and shopping

Saint Mary’s urban landscape puts the city's diverse dining scene close at hand. The options span from Mexican food at places like Los Compadres and Baja Cali Fish and Tacos to Korean food at Sura Korean Barbecue and Tofu House or classic American at Blue Star Drive-In. Seventh Street and Anaheim Street are the main retail corridors so locals don’t have to go far to shop. A handful of convenience stores are nearby in addition to Superior Grocers and Smart and Final Extra.

Bungalows and condos in Saint Mary's

“It’s more affordable than Downtown Long Beach, but it’s a mix of housing,” says Chun. “So there are houses, but there are a lot of apartments and multifamily properties.” There are a few early 20th-century bungalows in the neighborhood and they sell from $500,000 to $800,000. Many homes have been divided into multifamily properties, selling from $500,000 to $1.5 million depending on the available units. Condos make up a large percentage of Saint Mary’s housing, ranging from $350,000 to $975,000 depending on size and amenities.

Long Beach school gets an overhaul

The Long Beach Unified School District serves the neighborhood. Kids can start school at Jenny Oropeza Elementary School, which earned a B-minus from Niche.

Walking to Alamitos Beach and nearby parks

There isn’t much green space in the neighborhood, however, a few parks are within walking distance. Drake Park and Cesar Chavez Park are both within a mile of the neighborhood. Visitors will find skate parks and game courts in addition to playgrounds and picnicking space. Alamitos Beach is a mile south and can be reached on foot or by bike. Here, residents will find palm trees and white sand. Visitors swim and surf or watch the ships in the bay from the shore.
