Memorial Heights Home for Sale

Memorial Heights in Long Beach is a quintessential Southern California neighborhood with small homes shaded by palm trees and crisscrossing power lines. The community features modest ranch-style houses, New Traditionals, and a few condos and townhouses. Long Beach Airport is about 4 miles from the neighborhood, and plane noise can be a concern. Some of the city’s residents are lobbying for flight path changes in residential areas. Students can attend highly rated schools, including Birney Elementary, Charles Evans Hughes Middle, and Long Beach Polytechnic High, known for its strong athletic programs. Veterans Park, just outside the neighborhood, offers over 14 acres of amenities, including basketball and tennis courts, a soccer field, a playground and a community center. The nearby Los Angeles River and Wrigley Greenbelt provide additional options for outdoor activities. For shopping, residents head to nearby Target and Albertsons. Dining out options include popular restaurants Phil Trani’s and The Green Olive along Long Beach Boulevard. In-N-Out Burger, Starbucks and other popular chains are on Spring Street. Those taking public transportation to get around go to the nearby Willow Street Station, which offers metro access throughout Long Beach and Los Angeles. There are also bus stops along Wardlow Road and Pacific Avenue. However, busy roads make walking less practical. The 405 freeway runs along the neighborhood’s northern edge, connecting residents to Los Angeles, about 20 miles away, and beyond. Residents can access health care at MemorialCare Long Beach Medical Center in the southern part of the community.
