Lower Westside offers peaceful living close to Long Beach's energy
Located directly west of the Los Angeles River, the Lower Westside neighborhood of Long Beach is an entirely residential area where single-story homes line the densely packed streets. This tiny neighborhood is on the quieter west side of Long Beach, away from the colorful commercial districts and the multi-use pathway along the beach. The prices tend to be lower here, the beach is just a few minutes away and the area falls within Long Beach’s highly rated public school district. Long Beach has a lot of artists, a lot of remote workers, and a lot of character, says Beatrix Whipple, CEO and Realtor with the Whipple Group serving Long Beach and Los Angeles. “It has a city feel but it feels like a congregation of a lot of different neighborhoods,” Whipple says. “Every part of town has a different feel to it.”
Manicured laws on tight lots are the norm for Lower Westside's residential streets.
Residents of Lower Westside enjoy a close-knit community, with local parks and markets bringing people together.
