Alamitos Beach offers coastal Long Beach living with flair
Alamitos Beach has a lively energy, situated right along Downtown Long Beach and the Pacific Ocean. Residents live in closely spaced condos and apartment buildings, where you can step out your front door straight into one of the most walkable neighborhoods in the city. This is true city living, so expect late-night noise and tight street parking. But you can also look forward to vibrancy from East Broadway's nightlife and a creative edge from the boutiques of nearby 4th Street, better known as Retro Row. You might start your mornings with free yoga by the beach and end the day with a walk over to downtown’s latest music festival. Despite all this activity, prices stay relatively low — the lowest you can get along the coastline in Long Beach.
Coastal condos at Long Beach’s lower price points
Alamitos Beach is a high-density area with a primarily condo market, offering high-rise towers, stucco-sided housing complexes and multifamily homes. With an overall median sale price of around $575,000, prices are significantly less than in other coastal neighborhoods like Bluff Park, Belmont Shore and Naples. “It feels like the last affordable beach area in the city,” says Dave Shorter, a broker with Dave Shorter Real Estate who has lived in Alamitos Beach for over 20 years. “It feels like the way you imagine Southern California to be. It’s mixed, it’s eclectic. You’re still enjoying the beach, but it’s a lot more casual, and it feels like the kind of beach that you can actually live in.”
You can find smaller units from the mid-1900s in the $300,000s and $400,000s, prices unheard of for most oceanfront areas. There are also some luxury properties available, with modern beachfront condos getting up to $1.6 million.

Difficult street parking can be a drawback
Parking is notoriously difficult in Alamitos Beach, so condo units with designated spaces tend to sell for a premium. Many buildings don’t have their own lots, and when you add beachgoers and people heading into downtown, street parking fills up fast. “The parking is tough here,” Shorter says. “One of the ways people get around it is that there are paid lots in downtown Long Beach that are walkable.”
Super walkable and bikeable lifestyle
Parking can be a hassle, but luckily, Alamitos Beach is one of the most walkable and bikeable neighborhoods in Long Beach. Many roads have bike lanes, and Long Beach Transit buses have several stops along Ocean Boulevard and East Broadway. “You can absolutely live here without a car,” Shorter says. “Within five to 10 minutes of my house, I can get to everything I need and all the restaurants. And there’s a Vons market in downtown Long Beach that’s walkable.” Downtown Long Beach is also home to major employers and the Metro A Line station, which connects to Los Angeles.

Buzzing nightlife and popular restaurants along East Broadway
Just a short stroll from the beach, East Broadway offers some of the best nightlife in Long Beach, as well as lively restaurants. Some of the corridor’s most popular options include:
Broadway Cocktail Lounge gets busy for weekend karaoke nights.
The Falcon has a happening dance floor with "Drag Race" on the TVs and Pride events throughout June.
Sweetwater Saloon has old-school pool tables, a jukebox and regular events, including those in April for Lesbian Visibility Week.
Ellie’s serves Italian homemade pasta and brunchtime bottomless mimosas.
Bluebird Haus is well-known for its vegan sushi and ramen.
Ace Hardware on 4th Street is a great local resource for projects and supplies.
Blue Bird Haus is a local sushi restaurant with plenty of vegan options.

Things to do include a farmers market and yoga at Bixby Park
Alamitos Beach stays busy, with trivia nights, pop-up markets and outdoor activities at Bixby Park. Enjoy plenty of things to do in the neighborhood, including:
Going to Bixby Park for the weekly farmers market or a free daily yoga class
Exploring Retro Row, just a few blocks away, known for its vintage shopping, eclectic boutiques and quirky eateries
Watching major events pass by on Ocean Boulevard, including the Long Beach Pride Parade and the Long Beach Marathon
Walking over to Shoreline Village, a vibrant downtown marina with restaurants, shops and events
Shorter says that the yoga in Bixby Park draws people from all over the city. “You’ll drive by, and literally there will be like 250 people out on the bluff over the water.”
Kids can play at the playground on Alamitos Beach.

Alamitos Beach is a little calmer than other coastlines
Stretched alongside Ocean Boulevard, the neighborhood’s namesake beach is the go-to spot for days in the California sun. Alamitos Beach faces the city’s major port, so you’ll see huge freighters coming in to dock. While not quite as surfable as the west-facing beaches in South Bay and Orange County, it’s a popular hangout for locals, with milder tourist traffic. “It’s a very nice beach. We have a breakwater wall, so the waves don’t get too strong,” says Allison Van Wig, Realtor and broker selling in Long Beach since the 1990s. “It’s very placid compared to other beaches.” Beachgoers enjoy walking or biking along the Shoreline Bike Path, a paved coastal trail that connects 3 miles to Belmont Shore.
You can take a dip in the ocean at Alamitos Beach.
