La Marina Estates has quiet living near CSULB
Just across the street from California State University, Long Beach, La Marina Estates blends midcentury charm with a lively college-town vibe. You won't see many students living here, though, since the area is mostly single-family homes from the 1950s. It’s a neighborhood with quiet cul-de-sacs and backyards big enough for an outdoor pool. Plus, within 10 minutes, you can reach El Dorado Regional Park and the 2nd & PCH shopping center. La Marina Estates attracts university employees and anyone looking for a suburban feel with highly rated schools and easy access to eastern Long Beach attractions.
Midcentury modern homes with long-term residents
La Marina Estates is made up of midcentury modern homes built in the mid-1950s. The neighborhood was also planned with more spacious yards than what's standard in Long Beach, so backyards are a real selling point. You'll see ranch-style homes and classic California bungalows, many of which have been thoughtfully updated. "These were homes built some time ago, so at this point, many of them have had multiple owners," says Shannon Jones, Realtor with Keller Williams Coastal Properties who has experience in the area. "Saying that, it's not a neighborhood with a lot of turnover. People tend to stay long-term." Prices typically range from $1.2 million to $2 million, making this one of the pricier neighborhoods around Cal State University.
You'll see plenty of ranch-style homes in La Marina Estates.
