This neighborhood is a diverse, dynamic neighborhood located amidst the hub of surrounding cultural, learning, and religious institutions in the urban core of Long Beach, CA. First plotted and developed in the 1930's, Historic St Anthony has played a role in the history of Long Beach.

 

​Today Historic St Anthony (SANA) is a vibrant neighborhood known for its eclectic population and beautiful, preserved historic landmark church, and public and parochial schools. It includes Gumbiner Park, which offers a playground, skate park, performance area, picnic area and public art installations. Additionally, because of our communities effort it's more walkable and residents have easy access to mass transit.
