Freeway Circle convenience in Long Beach

Second, residents can walk to the elementary, middle and high schools all within the neighborhood. And third, it's close to large shopping areas, so all your essentials are convenient."

Midcentury to newer, small, tidy homes
Residents stroll tree-lined, flat streetscapes with small front yards, some framed with charming white picket fences, stone walls or other decorative enclosures. Garages are prevalent, and there's plenty of parking space in driveways or along the street. Most homes were built from the 1920s through the 1960s, with midcentury being the most common. Homes built in more recent decades blend nicely into the mix. Cin says, "There's a wide range of architecture, mostly comprised of many National and Traditional architectural styles. Lots aren't large and there aren't many cul-de-sacs, but there's great walkability, so you'll see neighbors out walking a lot. It's considered a friendly community where neighbors all know and look out for each other." Residential sizes range from one bedroom to four bedrooms, and most single-family homes can ask for $625,000 to $750,000. "It's a great neighborhood for starter homes," Cin says. "Price points tend to be $200,000 to $300,000 cheaper than they'd be in other nearby neighborhoods."
