Northeast of downtown Long Beach, Zaferia’s shopping area and community park are centrally located within the neighborhood.

As for architecture, there are Craftsman bungalows and Mediterranean homes, increasingly renovated in recent years, giving them a modern appeal.

Those interested should keep a close eye on the market: “It’s popular. My listings have not lasted more than 30 days, and the last one was off the market in 10 days. There’s not enough supply for the demand,” Pastorini says.
