The Rose Park which gives
this neighborhood its name will soon have a gazebo at its center
where, decades ago, an earlier gazebo once stood. This
circular park is located at 8th and Orizaba. |
Rose Park is one of the largest historic
neighborhoods in Long Beach. While it is locally designated as an historic
district because of the great number of Craftsman bungalows, home owners are not
necessarily eligible for the tax benefits of the State of California
Mills Act for historic districts -- unlike California
Heights.
 |
Rose Park is adjacent to
Belmont Heights and California Craftsman bungalows from the
1920s are on every street. Most of them have been restored
and are immaculately maintained. |
 |
Because Rose Park is
desirable as an historic neighborhood, on the main thoroughfares, such as
7th and 10th streets, there is multi-family housing -- some
dating back to the 1920s and some built within the last few
years.
