Bungalow homes in Dairy
“North Long Beach has older housing stock that’s very diverse,” says Fasnacht. Spanish-style architecture is common throughout Long Beach, and Dairy offers a colorful collection of homes whose stucco facades and terra cotta roofs stand out along its streets. “Like all big cities, it has nicer parts, like the neighborhoods around DeForest Park,” says Chanthol Pong, a real estate agent at Century 21 On Target who is familiar with the area. “The homes are older, so the neighborhood is established. Buyers who are interested in architecture gravitate toward this area.” The stock is mostly bungalows, built from the 1920s through the 1950s. Homes sell from $500,000 to $800,000.

Neighborhood mini-park and nearby DeForest Park
In an effort to expand public green space throughout Long Beach, the city has constructed a mini-park in Dairy. Burton W. Chace Park offers a small basketball court and multiple children’s play areas. Dairy is also just south of DeForest Park, a 50-acre park along the Los Angeles River. The park has tennis, pickleball, volleyball and basketball courts as well as a playground and picnicking areas. The park is also home to an extensive swathe of preserved wetlands. A trail goes through the wetlands, so visitors are able to see it up close.

Commuting options around Dairy
Pong says most residents drive, as the neighborhood can be challenging to get around on foot, and many buyers seek out Dairy because it is a short drive away from multiple highways and the airport. Interstate 710 runs two miles outside the neighborhood, connecting with Interstate 405 and Highway 91. Los Angeles is about 20 miles north via the 710. The Long Beach Airport is a little over 5 miles south of Dairy.Restaurants on Long Beach Boulevard and shopping on Atlantic Avenue
Long Beach Boulevard, a retail corridor lined by local and chain restaurants, runs through the neighborhood. Many Latin American restaurants operate here, like Los Eduardos, a cantina focusing on tacos and fajitas, and La Guanaquita, an El Salvadoran eatery. Dairy Market Restaurant, just off Long Beach Boulevard, serves Latin American dishes in a cozy setting. There's also Pho Daily and Douglas Burgers. There are a handful of local convenience stores in the neighborhood, such as Chilito’s Market, but for major shopping residents head a couple miles down Atlantic Avenue to Aldi’s, Smart and Final or Vons.

Kids attend local Long Beach Unified Schools
Because Long Beach offers parents school choice families are free to apply to other schools, but the neighborhood is served by Jane Addams Elementary School, graded B by Niche. the school sits a couple of blocks south of the neighborhood. Students can go on to Perry Lindsey Academy, which earned a B-minus. Students can finish at Jordan High School, also graded B-minus from Niche. Students can enroll in career pathways to help their coursework align with their postgraduate plans.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
