Bluff Park is a coastal neighborhood with historic flair
Perched on a hill overlooking the ocean, Bluff Park is known for its high-end historic homes and classic Long Beach atmosphere. You can find multimillion-dollar oceanfront properties, or settle down into a modest condo in a renovated 100-year-old home. There’s an energy that comes from being this close to the beach, whether you’re strolling over to the Bixby Park farmers market, grabbing a drink at the local juice bar or meeting friends for a walk along the sand. Bluff Park also offers a bit more space to spread out than other coastal neighborhoods, so it appeals to buyers who want front yards, homes with character and direct access to the beach.
Early-1900s homes with a sense of upscale luxury
Bluff Park is tied to a long history of luxury. “It’s where old money Pasadena families would come down to cool off,” says Dave Shorter, a broker with Dave Shorter Real Estate. There are restrictions on new construction to protect the area’s early-1900s architecture, which includes two-story Craftsman, Tudor Revival and Spanish Revival properties. “The homes along First Street are some of my favorites in the entire city,” says Shorter, who has over 15 years of experience selling all over Long Beach. Properties often have yard space for a front yard garden and a backyard pool, a rarity this close to the coastline. Many of the large houses have been converted into multifamily living units, and you’ll see plenty of condo complexes that were added in the mid-1900s.
Luxury homes in Bluff Park might have ocean views.
Craftsman bungalows can be found dotted throughout the neighborhood.

What you can expect to pay in Bluff Park
It’s rare to see single-family homes hit the market, but when they do, you can expect to pay anywhere from $1 million to $3 million, depending on proximity to the water. Prices for homes are on par with nearby coastal neighborhoods like Belmont Heights and Belmont Shore. However, Bluff Park also offers lower-priced condo options more in line with what you would see in Alamitos Beach. Units can range from the mid-$400,000s to $1.2 million for oceanfront condos.
Live within a few blocks of the beach
The neighborhood sits a little higher above the shoreline, which gives it those great views and adds some peace of mind when it comes to flooding risks. Enjoy walks overlooking the ocean at the namesake Bluff Park, a narrow green space that stretches for a mile above the shore. From there, it’s easy to take the stairs down to Junipero Beach or Long Beach City Beach, both popular for swimming and paddleboarding. Living this close to the water means cooler temperatures, too. “We have a really nice coastal marine layer right now, so it stays cool for a nice jog or walk down at the ocean level,” says Stephen Sutton, a Realtor with HomeSmart Realty Group and resident of next-door Bluff Heights.
Tourist traffic and difficulty with street parking
Since the area attracts plenty of tourist traffic, living by the coast can be a trade-off. “You have the ocean views but also Ocean Boulevard traffic, so it’s a double-edged sword,” Sutton says. Street parking can be really difficult, especially on weekends, so condo units with designated parking spots typically sell at higher prices, and most homes have garages with alley access. “There are lots of things happening here, lots of people going to the beach,” Shorter says. “Junipero Beach is probably the most heavily trafficked beach in the city.”
Walkability to shops and restaurants on East Broadway
The neighborhood is very walkable, with easy access to the beach, public parks and local restaurants on East Broadway. Depending on where you live, it’s not far to the Vons off Ocean Boulevard for groceries. When dining out, some of the most popular spots include:
La Parolaccia Osteria Italiana: A warm, inviting Italian spot known for handmade pastas and rich sauce
Claire’s at the Museum: An elegant café at the Long Beach Museum of Art with seasonal brunch dishes and an oceanfront patio
The Wild Chive: A vegan café serving creative comfort food
Park Pantry: A longtime local favorite diner with large breakfast servings
La Parolaccia Osteria has been a family owned Italian restaurant since 2006.
Near the Belmont Pier you'll find local retail establishments.

Bluff Park stays busy with plenty of things to do. “You’re going to see a lot of people walking around,” says Beatrix Whipple, Realtor with the Whipple Group, who has over two decades of experience in the area. “It’s an active and bustling neighborhood." Enjoy attractions like:
The Long Beach Museum of Art has rotating exhibits and a schedule that includes gallery openings, wine tastings and free family art workshops.

Take the bus or bike to downtown Long Beach
Bluff Park is about 2 miles from Downtown Long Beach. To get into the city, it’s about a 10-minute drive or bus ride, with Long Beach Transit running along Ocean Boulevard. Many residents also choose to bike around using the Shoreline Bike Path. This paved trail runs along the coast, connecting to downtown’s Shoreline Village in about 15 minutes.
