Eclectic local businesses and classic architecture
North Alamitos Beach is part of the larger community of Alamitos Beach, a coastal enclave known for its well-established bars, cocktail lounges and coffee houses. “It’s a hip place for young sophisticates to live,” says Cynthia Voss, Realtor and broker associate with ReMax, who has been selling Long Beach since 1985. It may be a little farther from the beach than Alamitos Beach proper, but the neighborhood still gets the cool, salty breezes and moderate, year-round temperatures the area is known for.

A walker's paradise in Long Beach
Walk Score labels this neighborhood a “walker’s paradise,” giving it a score of 94%. Voss agrees, saying, “It's a popular area among people who don’t own cars. You can walk to shops and restaurants. It’s walking distance to the beach.” Voss also says many residents get around by bike, both in the neighborhood and around the beach. Shoreline Way is a bike and walking path that stretches along the ocean and provides great sunset views.
Long Beach’s city buses circulate through the neighborhood and around town. “There are stops in the neighborhood. It's a very accessible area for public transportation.” For those who drive, scenic Ocean Boulevard runs along the California coast and past the neighborhood. State Route One and Interstate 710 are nearby as well.

Visiting Los Alamitos Beach
While North Alamitos Beach isn’t quite on the coast, Alamitos Beach is within a mile of the neighborhood. “It’s a very nice beach. We have a breakwater wall, so the waves don’t get too strong. It’s very placid compared to other beaches,” says Van Wig. Locals enjoy soaking up the sun from the white sandy beach or paddleboarding across the calm waters. Friends meet at the public courts for volleyball games, and cyclists ride against the ocean breeze.

Craftsman bungalows and condos
Like much of the city, the neighborhood was primarily built in the 1920s and predominantly features early 20th-century architecture, like Craftsman bungalows with low-pitched rooftops and deep eaves.

Or for something even more contemporary, buyers can choose from condos with modern interiors and exterior Spanish features like stucco siding.
“It’s very affordable for something that close to the beach,” says Walker. Craftsman bungalows sell between $670,000 and $1 million depending on size and modern upgrades. Condos, prevalent in the area, go from $320,000 to $750,000.
