Ranching heritage and gated living in Bixby Hill
Bixby Hill is a gated community in southeast Long Beach, located beside California State University, Long Beach. It was developed on land that was once part of Rancho los Alamitos, a working cattle ranch. While homes now cover most of the property, the historic adobe ranch house and gardens remain preserved at the center of the neighborhood. Limited through traffic helps maintain a calm, private atmosphere that many buyers appreciate. Despite its secluded feel, Bixby Hill is just a short drive from shopping centers, parks, beaches and major freeways.
Bixby Hill used to be part of John William Bixby’s Rancho los Alamitos.
The CSULB campus borders the community.

Bixby Hill’s housing options
The majority of the neighborhood is made up of curving streets and cul-de-sacs lined with custom-built houses from the late 1960s and early ‘70s, when the community was first developed. You’ll see a mix of modern and Mediterranean-inspired designs, and many homes have been updated with features like chef's kitchens, quartz countertops and smart home technology. Single-family sales typically range from $1.6 million to $2.6 million.
Bixby Hill also includes two multifamily communities: Bixby Hill Gardens and Bixby Riviera. Within these communities, condos typically sell from the upper $600,000s to the low $900,000s, while townhouses generally range from the low $800,000s to the mid-$900,000s.
In general, listings in the area tend to move relatively quickly, says Shannon Paul, a Realtor with Zaia Estates and a Bixby Hill resident. “Properties don’t hit the market often,” she says. “Once people buy here, they stay here.”
Homes vary in style and size.
Mature landscaping lends an established feel.

You have access to bike paths and major roads.
Biking to CSULB or commuting to Orange County
The neighborhood often appeals to CSULB professors and staff because the campus is within a short walk or bike ride. Thanks to a system of bike lanes and bike paths, it’s even possible to run errands without driving. Still, many residents rely on cars for everyday travel, and interstates 405 and 605 are both close by. Irvine and Anaheim are about 20 miles away, and drive times typically range from 30 minutes to an hour.
School options include Kettering Elementary
Families are served by the Long Beach Unified School District. Some kids go to Kettering Elementary School, which earns an A from Niche and offers a gifted and talented education program for fourth and fifth graders. Older students can attend Wilson High School, also rated A by Niche.
Woodrow Wilson High School of Long Beach was founded in 1925.
Kettering Elementary School is highly rated.
