Around Westminster

Westminster, beyond the house.

The neighbourhoods, the daily rhythm and the drive to everywhere else — the part of a home search a listing sheet never covers.

The neighbourhoods

Where Westminster actually breaks down, in the desk's own words.

Full neighbourhood file →

Little Saigon

Officially designated by Governor George Deukmejian on June 17, 1988, bounded by Westminster Boulevard, Bolsa Avenue, Magnolia Street and Euclid Street — the commercial and cultural core of the largest Vietnamese community outside Vietnam.

Asian Garden Mall (Phước Lộc Thọ)

Developer Frank Jao opened this 150,000-square-foot center in 1987 as the first Vietnamese-American shopping mall in the country; it remains Little Saigon's central gathering point.

Sid Goldstein Freedom Park

Home to the Vietnam War Memorial, an 11-foot bronze by sculptor Tuan Nguyen depicting an American and South Vietnamese soldier, dedicated April 27, 2003 after a process begun by Councilman Frank Fry in 1997.

Barber City

A separate community until residents voted 1,096-to-1,008 in 1957 to incorporate jointly with Westminster as California's 337th city; the former Barber City now makes up the western portion of Westminster.

Midway City

Subdivided starting in 1924, Midway City withdrew from the 1957 Tri-City incorporation vote and remains an unincorporated Orange County pocket bordered by Westminster on multiple sides.

Indian Village

A residential tract of mostly mid-20th-century homes with streets named for Native American tribes — Iroquois Road, Apache Street among them — anchored by Indian Village Park at 6060 Hefley Street.

A day around here

Ordinary life in Westminster, the way it actually runs — not a highlight reel.

Morning

Coffee at The Mugs, then whatever the day actually needs.

Afternoon

An hour at Sid Goldstein Freedom Park, between the errands that never show up on a listing sheet.

Evening

Dinner at Poke Haus, then a short drive back to whichever neighbourhood you call home.
