Located in north-central Long Beach, Memorial Heights appeals to buyers looking for a well-connected neighborhood with a practical, urban feel. With direct access to Interstate 405 and Metro A Line stations, getting around the city and the rest of Southern California is straightforward. The community is also close to shopping and parks, which makes everyday life more convenient.
Housing includes multifamily properties, as well as 1920s California bungalows and larger, two-story builds from the ‘70s. There is also some newer infill. Single-family homes tend to sell from the low $700,000s to just over $1 million. The median sale price is around $820,000, slightly below the citywide median. Because the neighborhood sits under a flight path for Long Beach Airport, residents regularly hear planes overhead.
MemorialCare Long Beach Medical Center is right in the community, giving hospital employees who live here the option to walk to work. For other residents, one of Memorial Heights' biggest perks is its location near Interstate 405 and Metro A Line stations. "It might be noisy, but a lot of people like the convenience," says Jeff Perrin, Realtor with Casta del Sol Realty.
The A Line runs all the way from Downtown Long Beach to Pasadena. Riding to Downtown LA usually takes under an hour, while driving there can take anywhere from 40 minutes to an hour and a half. Irvine and Anaheim are both roughly 25 miles away, and commute times typically range from 40 minutes to just over an hour.
With North Wrigley and Signal Hill nearby, it’s easy to run errands or grab a meal. A short distance from home, you’ll find:
Green space is also not far. Veterans Park, just outside the neighborhood, is a popular spot for playground visits, picnics and youth sports. The park's community center also hosts programs and activities for all ages. For a more natural setting, people often head to Willow Springs Park. Its walking trails wind through native plants and climb to scenic overlooks where you can take in views of Long Beach and, on clear days, the San Gabriel Mountains. History lovers can explore Rancho Los Cerritos, a few miles north, where they can tour an 1800s adobe structure and learn how Southern California evolved over the 19th and early 20th centuries.
Families are served by the Long Beach Unified School District. Some children go to Birney Elementary School in North Wrigley, which gets a B-plus rating from Niche. Long Beach Polytechnic High School, rated A by Niche, offers academic pathways in health and medical technology, digital arts and business. Private options like Oakwood Academy Elementary are also available.
