Zaferia’s historic roots and creative atmosphere
Once a small town along the Pacific Electric Railway, Zaferia is a pocket of East Long Beach with a character all its own. The neighborhood's distinct identity centers around the East Anaheim Street corridor, where longstanding dive bars share blocks with independent restaurants, art studios and local businesses. For many homebuyers, the creative energy is a big part of the appeal, while others appreciate having convenient access to the Pacific Coast Highway and nearby freeways.
Community events help bring people together.
Zaferia has many murals, such as this one on the side of Good Time.

Mostly multifamily housing in Zaferia
Nearly 80% of area residents rent, and multifamily properties make up a large share of the housing stock. Here, it’s common to see California bungalows and Craftsman-style cottages sitting side by side with low-rise condo buildings. Single-family homes generally sell from the low $600,000s to the upper $700,000s, while condos often range from the mid-$400,000s to the low $500,000s. Smaller multifamily properties typically sell between the low $700,000s and upper $900,000s, and larger buildings generally go from about $1 million to $2 million.
Brahna Pastorini, Realtor with College Park Realty, says that homes in Zaferia move relatively quickly. “It’s popular,” she says. “My listings have not lasted more than 30 days, and the last one was off the market in 10 days.” On average, homes tend to sell in about 40 days, which is lower than the nationwide average.

Pacific Coast Highway access and commuting to Orange County or LA

Plenty to do in Orizaba Park, plus the beach isn’t far
Orizaba Park covers nearly 4 acres at the center of the community. It has multiple athletic fields, a playground and workout equipment. It also includes a skate park and a community center.

And with Long Beach City Beach only a couple of miles away, it's easy to spend a day by the water.
