North Los Altos is a quiet suburb in an ideal location
Los Altos North offers all the comfort of a quiet suburb right in the heart of Long Beach. With its well-maintained homes, quality schools and easy access to shopping, dining and major highways, the neighborhood is ideal for those who want to be close to the action but not immersed in it. “It feels secluded, even though it’s right next to everything,” says local realtor Shannon Paul of Zaia Estates. “There’s no real reason to go into the residential part of the neighborhood unless you live there, but if you live there, there’s a ton of shopping and dining within walking distance. And the 405 is right there, which is incredibly convenient. It’s just a very comfortable place to live.”
