Proximity to Long Beach and living an active lifestyle at Signal Hill
Sitting atop a hillside, Signal Hill is a city tucked between Long Beach and California Heights. Originally a community known for oil drilling, to this day Signal Hill still has a functioning oil field, along with many public outdoor spaces, biking trails and above average schools. In addition, its proximity to the beach and relatively more affordable housing options compared to Long Beach have made Signal Hills a welcoming option for area residents. “Signal Hill is an enclave that is surrounded by Long Beach,” says Gia Silva, a Realtor and president at INTI Realty with 21 years of experience. “People definitely enjoy an active lifestyle here. The neighborhood is close to Hilltop Park and it’s in an area that has more incline and nice trails.”
Skyline Drive has an oil workers sculptural tribute and views of downtown Long Beach.

“People go on runs in the mornings,” Silva says. “They can also catch the sunset or have a picnic at Hilltop Park.” Popular for panoramic views of the city, the Hollywood sign and the beach, locals are often spotted walking, jogging or cycling around Hilltop Park. Discovery Well Park has basketball and pickleball courts and playgrounds, while Signal Hill Park is home to various summer concerts and additional community events. Additional pocket parks include Sunset View Park and Reservoir Park. Nearby, El Dorado Park offers comprehensive athletic facilities, fields, an archery range, a golf course and myriad trails along the park’s lakes and streams. Long Beach is about 3 miles away for water activities.
