Welcome to the neighborhood guide to Long Beach
You will find an extraordinary range of neighborhoods and home choices in Long Beach — Craftsman bungalows, 1920s Spanish Revival, Mid-century Modern, contemporary high rise condos as well as elegant traditional homes and 1940s ranch style tract homes with tree-lined streets. There are waterfront homes and townhomes facing golf courses and even contemporary homes with docks right outside your door.
What they all have in common is the fact that the Pacific Ocean and beach fun and boating are just minutes away. No need to drive long distances to enjoy the beach lifestyle. Most of the homes on this site are within a few minutes walk of the sandy beach.
Live the Beach life + City life
Long Beach also hosts many conventions and visitors at the Convention Center near downtown where there are dozens of restaurants and night clubs.
The beach that gives the city its name stretches east for 7 miles from downtown to Belmont Shore. For much of the distance the beach is lined with low-rise and high rise condos. Private homes facing onto the ocean begin at the Peninsula neighborhood.
A broad paved bike and walking trail extends on the beach from downtown to Belmont Shore at the other end where it becomes a public street into the Peninsula neighborhood which has large ocean-facing homes like the ones to the left. So start exploring this online guide to Long Beach. You may discover homes and features you didn’t realize existed in Southern California.
