What makes Belmont Shore such a sought-after place to live
With its lively restaurant corridor and easy access to the sandy coast, it’s no surprise that Belmont Shore is one of Long Beach's most in-demand neighborhoods. There’s a highly walkable lifestyle, pet-friendly amenities and plenty of places to eat out along 2nd Street. On summer days, the area is filled with tourists, so if you’re looking for quiet streets or privacy, this might not be the place. But for coastal living and walkability to bars and restaurants, Belmont Shore delivers. This vibrant community has a high median price of $1.5 million, making it one of the most expensive areas in Long Beach to buy a home.
Tightly spaced homes have some of Long Beach’s highest prices
Yards in Belmont Shore are just big enough for an outdoor patio, and you can see your neighbors from your front door. “It’s highly dense, so everything is small — small lot sizes, smaller homes,” says Tyler Rogina, an associate broker with Compass Real Estate who has lived in the neighborhood. You’ll see plenty of early-1900s beach cottages with Spanish-style architecture, but as the area has spiked in popularity, there are some newer builds moving in too.
“It’s definitely super high in demand,” Rogina says. “This is where the highest prices are because you have more walkability than the Peninsula or Naples.” Although you can occasionally find some condo units below $1 million, most single-family homes range from $1.2 million to $2.2 million. Coastal properties can cost upwards of $3 million. First Street rates the neighborhood's flooding risk as moderate, and coastal homes are often required to have flood insurance.
Large Spanish-style homes can be spotted in the Belmont Shore neighborhood.
Smaller Spanish-style homes are common in the neighborhood.

Street parking is difficult, but homes have garages
Parking is notoriously difficult in Belmont Shore with narrow streets and high tourist traffic. However, most homeowners avoid this issue with alley-loaded garages. Newer construction often has attached one- or two-car garages too, but you won’t see garages any larger than that in this tight area. “It’s a whole event to try and find parking on busy weekends,” Rogina says. “Having your own parking is definitely a valuable asset.”
Belmont Shores locals hit the bike and walk paths for their daily dose of exercise.
One of the most walkable neighborhoods in Long Beach
This is one of the most walkable areas in the city, with all the restaurants on 2nd Street and the sandy coastline within a mile of pretty much every home. In addition to the beach, you can stay active at The Belmont Athletic Club, swim at the public Belmont Pool or play weekly pickleball games at the Bayshore Playground. There’s a local Vons for everyday grocery needs, although any other large stores will be a drive away. “The walkability is one of the best things about the Shore,” Rogina says. “Your car can sit in the same place for two to three days because you’re walking everywhere.”
So much shopping and dining on 2nd Street
Belmont Shore’s 2nd Street is a hub of restaurants, boutiques and buzzing patios. Things stay busy late into the night at dive bars and cocktail lounges. “There are very few, if any, major chains,” Rogina says. “People really enjoy that.” From grab-and-go spots to some of Long Beach’s fanciest restaurants, options include:
Nick’s on 2nd: Go-to neighborhood restaurant with creative, upscale twists on classic American comfort food
Open Sesame: A longtime staple for Lebanese food that Rogina says is one of his favorite restaurants in Long Beach
Roe Seafood: Chic spot for ceviche, scallops and oysters, with a patio that occasionally has live music
Viaje Restaurant: Upscale Mexican food in a moody dining room with standout mezcal cocktails
There are so many food options on 2nd Street, including Roe Seafood.
Nick's on 2nd serves American food with a modern twist.

Belmont Shore’s beaches are popular with dog owners and kayakers
Belmont Shore lives up to its name. Two sides of the neighborhood are bordered by sandy shores, including the popular Rosie’s Dog Beach on the Pacific Ocean. The beach allows dogs to run around without leashes, so expect to meet a lot of furry friends during your time in the Shore. The surf is a little calmer here than in places like Huntington Beach, and those who want even calmer waters can turn to Bayshore Beach, a thin strip of sand along Alamitos Bay. If you launch a kayak or paddleboard from this beach, it’s a quick trip over to the canals of the island of Naples.
Rosie's Dog Beach allows dogs to run around off-leash and enjoy the sand.

Kids attend highly rated Long Beach Unified Schools
Belmont Shore is part of the Long Beach Unified School District. The district offers school of choice, so families can apply to attend schools outside the neighborhood. But most kids here are zoned to Lowell Elementary School, Rogers Middle School and Woodrow Wilson High School, all of which earn high ratings.
Lowell Elementary School has a pick-up zone for students and parents.
Kids in the neighborhood can attend Will Rogers Middle School.

Stroll & Savor: Monthly summer festival with live music, free samples and food deals along 2nd Street
