There’s also a community center that offers arts and wellness classes to all ages. The park also hosts a handful of events, like the Long Beach Good Habits Festival. Not to be left out, there’s also a Recreation Dog Park.

Older homes and newer condos in east Long Beach
“The neighborhood itself is this really nice mix of 1950s homes and Spanish bungalows,” Paul says. The different architectural styles tell a story of the neighborhood’s development. Older Craftsman homes, selling from $700,000 to $900,000, sit side by side with Spanish bungalows, selling from $775,000 to $930,000. “A lot of the homes are older, but they’re really nice,” says Edgar Rangel, resident and Realtor at KW Pacific Estates La Mirada. “It might be a little pricer than some north Long Beach neighborhoods, but it’s not as expensive as some south Long Beach neighborhoods.” As the neighborhood continues to evolve to meet the needs of modern-day buyers, condos selling from $400,000 to $560,000 are becoming more commonplace in the neighborhood.
