Take a Neighborhood Tour of Long Beach

Long Beach harbor Queen Mary
The 7 miles long sandy beach with the Queen Mary in the distance. Beyond the Queen Mary are gantries for the Port of Long Beach.  The blue and white tower on the upper far right is an oil pump in disguise.

Long Beach, the second largest city in Los Angeles County, has a surprising variety of homes and neighborhoods and what they all have in common is being near the beach.  If you are considering moving to Long Beach, take this Neighborhood Tour to help you discover which neighborhood is best for you.

Downtown there are new, very modern apartment complexes that appeal to Millenials.  At the far east side of the city Mid-Century modern homes are common.  In between, along tree-lined streets, are thousands of California Craftsman bungalow and Spanish revival houses just the right size for families.
