A luxurious gated community of Long Beach
Bixby Hill is the smallest of Long Beach's three neighborhoods named for the Bixby family, whose 19th-century ranches once covered most of the city. The gated community used to be part of John William Bixby’s 28,000-acre Rancho Los Alamitos, which was the largest cattle ranch in the United States. Today the Rancho Los Alamitos Historic Ranch and Gardens in the heart of the neighborhood are all that remains of Bixby Hill’s agrarian past. “This is a great place for buyers who want another level of protection,” says Zaia Estates Realtor Shannon Paul, a resident of Bixby Hill since 2017. “It’s very private for people looking for seclusion; it feels private, but you’re still in the city.” As a 24-hour guard-gated HOA community, Bixby Hill offers residents a quiet, upscale lifestyle.
Condos, townhouses and single-family homes in Bixby Hill
The neighborhood is primarily residential, composed of luxury condos and townhouses, along with single-family homes lining nearly a dozen quiet cul-de-sacs. The grounds of the gated community are meticulously landscaped, and most houses have garages and pools. “Many of the homes were higher-echelon custom-builds on decently sized lots when constructed in the 1970s,” Paul says. Many have Mediterranean or midcentury modern architecture. Single-family homes range from around $1.5 million to $2.5 million — homes on the higher end are often fully updated. Condos and townhouses range from around $750,000 to upward of $1 million. “The values here are great and property appreciates quickly. When you buy in Bixby Hill, the value every year is going up 8% to 10%, if not more,” Paul says. “And buyers must act fast because properties don’t hit the market often. Once people buy here, they stay here.”

Attractions, including Rancho Los
Alamitos Historic Ranch and Gardens
The expertly maintained grounds of Rancho Los Alamitos Historic Ranch and Gardens are the neighborhood's centerpiece, with tours of the museum available Wednesday through Sunday. But the best spot for local entertainment is probably CSU Long Beach. It offers residents a scenic and walkable campus, including a manicured Japanese garden and regular sporting events, not to mention a constantly updated schedule of music and theater performances and art exhibits.

Brunch at Fantastic Cafe and more retail at Marina Pacifica
The one drawback of the gated community is the lack of walkable neighborhood shopping and dining. Low-key but well-reviewed breakfast spots Fantastic Cafe and Dey’s Doughnuts and Croissants are just around the corner from Bixby Hill, but for most shopping and dining needs, there is the Marina Pacifica Shopping Center. Only 3 miles south of the neighborhood, the bayside Marina Pacifica has a lot to offer, from multiple supermarkets to department stores to the Long Beach Southeast Farmers Market. There are also diverse restaurants nearby. Options include the classic Cali-Mex at Komo’s Cocina and seafood spots like The Crab Pot.
