Green space and convenience in Sunrise

Sunrise is a neighborhood in Long Beach that’s conveniently located near the Wrigley area and a short trip from Downtown. Homebuyers are often drawn to its many parks and quick connections to Pacific Coast Highway, Interstate 405 and the Metro A Line. Between the neighborhood's restaurants and nearby retail areas, you also have easy access to shopping and dining

Sunrise’s housing options

The community has a mix of single-family homes and multifamily properties, and a majority of residents rent. Many of the houses were built in the early 1900s, and Craftsman and Spanish-style designs are fairly common. Over time, homeowners have made updates but often kept the exterior character intact. Fixer-uppers occasionally start in the low $500,000s, though most houses sell between the low $600,000s and mid-$800,000s.

Condos tend to range from the low $500,000s to the mid-$700,000s. You’ll also see a variety of duplexes, triplexes and small apartment buildings throughout the area. Smaller properties usually sell between the low $700,000s and the upper $800,000s, but larger ones generally go from $1 million to $2.5 million.

The PCH and I-405 allow for easier commutes to Orange County

While there are multiple bus stops in the area and the Metro A Line just west of Sunrise, many people rely on cars for day-to-day travel. The Pacific Coast Highway and Interstate 405 are nearby, making it easy to get around the region. From here, Irvine and Anaheim are both less than 25 miles away, with typical drive times ranging from 40 minutes to 1 hour and 15 minutes. Los Angeles is a similar distance, but traffic can stretch the trip to anywhere from one to two hours.

Swimming, sports and picnics in Sunrise’s parks

With half a dozen parks in the community, there are plenty of opportunities to get outdoors. Martin Luther King Jr. Park spans nearly 9 acres and has multiple athletic fields and an indoor pool, as well as after-school activities and a learn-to-swim program. Local teams often practice at the 19-acre Chittick Field Dee Andrews Sports Complex. Elsewhere in the neighborhood, smaller green spaces such as NAACP Freedom Park provide places to enjoy a picnic or take a walk.
