Neighborhood Reviews & Questions
Zaferia is a historic Eastside district centered on the crossing of Anaheim Street and Redondo Avenue, a name that dates to the early 1900s when a Pacific Electric Railway depot here gave the little streetcar village its identity. Once a settlement of farmhands working the old ranch lands, it grew into a commercial corner with shops, factories, and a jitney line before being annexed by Long Beach in 1920. Today it is a mixed neighborhood of older bungalows and apartments around a working business district, with Plaza Zafaria providing a small green space near Pacific Coast Highway. The location is central and connected, close to the Fourth Street and Belmont Heights districts, Recreation Park, and the freeways. The honest picture is a busy, traffic-carrying corridor with older, denser housing and varied upkeep. For buyers who want an affordable, central-Eastside neighborhood with a real history and walkable everyday commerce, Zaferia is an authentic, lived-in choice.
