Washington School is walkable and well connected
Located in western Long Beach, Washington School appeals to homebuyers who want urban convenience without the higher prices and heavier traffic often found Downtown. Major roads and the Metro A Line are nearby, making it easy to get around Long Beach, Los Angeles County and beyond. Most daily needs are within walking distance, and you’re just a quick trip from waterfront destinations and city festivals.
Washington School puts you close to everything.

Condos and multifamily properties, with a lower median than DTLB
The majority of Washington School residents rent, and multifamily options make up most of the housing. Condos typically sell from the upper $200,000s to the low $500,000s. Single-family homes rarely come on the market, and many are small bungalows and Spanish-style homes dating to the early 1900s. Recent sales have typically been around $650,000. Multifamily properties generally range from about $1 million to $2.5 million.
The median sale price is in the low $400,000s, lower than the median in downtown. “As you get closer to the water and downtown attractions, prices naturally go up,” says Tyler Rogina, associate broker with Compass, who has lived and worked in the Long Beach area for more than 15 years. He says that while parking can still be a concern for locals, "It's not nearly as difficult as downtown. You'll go down one street, and it'll be packed, but the next one will have two to three spots."
Multifamily housing is common here.
There are a few single-family homes with off-street parking.

Easy travel to downtown Long Beach or LA
One of Washington School’s biggest draws is its convenient location. “It’s super easy for commuters,” Rogina says. “A lot of residents are coming down from LA. They want to be out of LA but still have easy access. Living here puts you right near the 710, which probably cuts your commute down about 20 minutes compared to some other parts of Long Beach.”
In addition to being close to Interstate 710, the Pacific Coast Highway runs along the neighborhood's northern edge, and there’s a Metro A Line station just steps from the community. The A Line is a practical option for downtown trips, and it also takes riders to Los Angeles and Pasadena. If you’re driving to LA, the roughly 25-mile trip can take anywhere from 40 minutes to over an hour in peak traffic.
The Metro A Line provides service to downtown Long Beach and throughout LA County.
Long Beach Transit buses also run through the area.

Outdoor recreation in and around Washington School
While Alamitos Beach is only a couple of miles away, with plenty of room for beach volleyball and relaxing by the water, you don't have to leave the neighborhood to enjoy the outdoors. Seaside Park has a soccer field, a playground and after-school programs for local kids. Another option is 14th Street Park, which has fitness equipment, a skate park, a playground and a basketball court, all within a five-block green space in the middle of the street.
