Real Estate & Homes for Sale in College Park Estates, Long Beach

Tucked away on the east side of Long Beach, California, College Park Estates offers a quiet, suburban feel that’s hard to find elsewhere in a city this size. Built in the late 1950s across from California State University, Long Beach, the neighborhood is known for its midcentury ranch-style homes, many of which have been updated and sit on spacious lots with room for outdoor living. The streets stay calm with minimal through traffic, giving the area a more private, close-knit vibe. Families are especially drawn to the highly rated Long Beach Unified School District, with Kettering Elementary School — a National Blue Ribbon winner — feeding into Rogers Middle School and Wilson High School. At the heart of the neighborhood, College Estates Park offers a playground, basketball and tennis courts, while nearby access to the 38-mile San Gabriel River Trail makes it easy to bike, run or walk all the way to Seal Beach. For shopping, dining and entertainment, residents are just minutes from Marina Pacifica and 2nd & PCH, where you’ll find everything from Lululemon and Anthropologie to waterfront dining at Tantalum and an AMC movie theater. Right within the neighborhood, you can swing by local favorites like Dey’s Doughnuts & Croissants and Fantastic Cafe. With downtown Long Beach about 5 miles away, the location balances calm living with easy access to the action.
