Zaferia began as a stop on the Pacific Electric Railway and was its own small town before Long Beach annexed it in 1920. Today its heart is the East Anaheim Street corridor, where independent businesses, bars, and creative spaces keep that village spirit alive. Joe Jost's, open since 1924, is still pouring on Anaheim Street, and the Long Beach Playhouse is nearby. The housing is a true mix. Craftsman bungalows and Spanish-style homes share the blocks with duplexes, apartments, and newer condos. The nearby Wilton Street historic district showcases 1920s Spanish Colonial homes on deep lots. That variety makes Zaferia worth a close look for investors in 2 to 4 unit properties, as well as owners handling an inherited home or weighing a sale against a rental strategy. Orizaba Park offers sports fields, a playground, a skate park, and a community center, and Recreation Park, with its golf courses, tennis center, and dog park, is a short drive southeast. The Zaferia Business Association keeps the corridor active with community events. The area is served by Long Beach Unified School District, with Nieto Herrera Elementary on Temple Avenue at its western edge.
