Lindbergh’s historic roots and modern amenities

The Lindbergh neighborhood takes its name from the famous aviator, Charles Lindbergh, who made an emergency landing in Long Beach in 1928. Many of the homes from that era are still around today, giving the area an established feel. Buyers are often attracted to the neighborhood's calm, residential atmosphere, classic housing stock and easy access to everyday amenities and commuter routes.

Lawns, driveways and a relatively low median for Long Beach

Housing in the community includes both apartments and single-family homes, many of which date back to the early to mid-1900s. Although the older houses often have updated interior details, including modern kitchens and central air conditioning, most retain their exterior character. Some have been converted into multifamily properties, and turning detached garages into accessory dwelling units is another growing trend.

Nancy Deprez of Vista Sotheby’s International Realty says buyers often appreciate the area’s many yards and private driveways, amenities that can be harder to find in denser areas closer to downtown. Lower price points are another advantage. The median sale price is around $750,000, below the citywide median. Homes generally sell between the mid-$500,000s and the mid-$800,000s, and multifamily sales usually range from the upper $600,000s to around $1.8 million, depending on the size of the property.

Close to the 710 and the 91

Buses run through the neighborhood, but most people travel by car. Easy access to Interstate 710 and State Route 91 is one of the area’s advantages, according to Deprez. Unlike communities right next to freeways where noise pollution can be an issue, Lindbergh is far enough away that “you don’t hear traffic noise,” she says.

From here, it’s less than 10 miles from Downtown Long Beach, and the drive time usually ranges from 15 to 30 minutes. Los Angeles and Anaheim are both roughly 20 miles away. Commuting to Anaheim typically takes between 30 minutes and an hour, but the drive to LA can stretch to an hour and a half in heavy traffic.

School options for Lindbergh families

Families are served by the Long Beach Unified School District. Middle school students can attend Lindbergh STEM Academy, which has an airplane-inspired layout in honor of the pilot it’s named after. The main entrance forms the "nose," and the classroom wings extend from either side. Gethsemane Baptist Christian School is a private option that gets an A rating from Niche.
