Carrying on the Wrigley legacy

Located in the Wrigley area of Long Beach, Southeast Wrigley is known for its convenient setting and strong sense of community. Local businesses and events provide opportunities for neighbors to connect. With major freeways and the Metro A Line nearby, you have quick access to both regional commutes and Downtown Long Beach's entertainment, dining and cultural attractions.

Housing in Southeast Wrigley

Almost 90% of neighborhood residents rent, and multifamily properties make up a large share of the housing. Unlike the high-rise condos found in downtown Long Beach, many of the multifamily options here include two-story apartment buildings, duplexes and older homes with ADUs. These tend to sell from around $1 million to $2 million. You’ll also see a few single-family homes, such as Craftsman-style cottages and Spanish-style designs. Houses typically range from the mid-$500,000s to the mid-$850,000s. The median sale price is in the low $700,000s, below the citywide median.

Freeways and the Metro A Line simplify travel

There are Metro A Line stations just east of Southeast Wrigley, and drivers have quick access to several major routes. "You're close to Pacific Coast Highway, the 710 and the 405, so it's easy to get around Long Beach and the surrounding area,” says Shannon Paul, Realtor with Zaia Estates. Los Angeles is approximately 25 miles away, and the commute usually takes between 40 minutes and an hour and a half, depending on traffic. Irvine and Anaheim are a similar distance and travel time.
