Convenience is key in McKinley

McKinley is a neighborhood in North Long Beach known for its convenient freeway access, which makes it easier to travel throughout Los Angeles and Orange counties. While buyers are often drawn to its commuter-friendly location, living here also keeps you well connected to everyday amenities, including stores, parks and schools.

Midcentury homes and ADU opportunities

Housing options include apartments and single-family homes. McKinley was mainly developed in the 1940s and ‘50s, and many of the houses still date back to that time. Many owners have updated their homes over the years, often modernizing kitchens and other interior details. Detached garages are also fairly common, and some have been converted into accessory dwelling units. Home sales typically range from the upper $600,000s to the mid-$700,000s, while multifamily properties usually sell for roughly $1 million to a little over $2 million.

A convenient midpoint between LA and Orange County

According to Beatrix Whipple, Realtor with the Whipple Group, some McKinley residents work from home. For those who commute, the neighborhood's location near the Artesia Freeway and several other major routes keeps the trip a little simpler. “It’s a good option for a lot of people. If one spouse works in LA and the other in Orange County, it’s halfway in between,” she says.

It’s less than 20 miles to Los Angeles, but depending on traffic, the drive can take anywhere from 40 minutes to an hour and a half. Anaheim is about the same distance away, and the commute usually ranges from 30 minutes to an hour.

School choices for McKinley families

Families are served by the Long Beach Unified School District. McKinley Elementary School is located in the neighborhood, and it offers an after-school program where students can get homework help. Some children attend Gethsemane Baptist Christian School, a private option with an A rating from Niche.
