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.

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.
