Nehyam Homes for Rent

Nehyam, formerly known as the Grant neighborhood in Long Beach, California, was renamed in 2021 to honor the Tongva tribe. This historic district, the first in North Long Beach, features Spanish Colonial Revival homes from the late 1920s and early 1930s. The neighborhood is composed entirely of single-family homes, typically two or three bedrooms, with architectural styles including cottages and bungalows, many with Spanish-inspired designs. Nehyam is served by the highly rated Long Beach Unified School District, with schools like Grant Elementary, Hamilton Middle School, and Jordan High School offering various educational and extracurricular opportunities. Located about 10 miles north of downtown Long Beach, Nehyam is bordered by major thoroughfares and freeways, providing convenient access to surrounding areas, though rush hour can significantly extend travel times. Public transportation is available, but most residents rely on personal vehicles. The neighborhood features shopping and dining options along its perimeter, including Big Saver Foods, J&G Market, Ernestine’s Family Fish Market, Lee’s Sandwiches, and Douglas Burgers, as well as fast-food chains like Church’s Texas Chicken, McDonald’s, and Subway. Residents enjoy access to Long Beach’s extensive public recreational areas, including Houghton Park, which offers a playground, skate park, tennis courts, and sports fields, along with centers for teens and seniors. Nehyam is a quieter area with tree-lined streets and low through traffic, providing a peaceful residential environment.
