Memorial Heights Homes for Rent

Memorial Heights in Long Beach is a quintessential Southern California neighborhood with small homes shaded by palm trees and intersected by power lines. The area features modest ranch-style houses, New Traditionals, and a few condos and townhouses. While the noise from Long Beach Airport can be a concern, efforts are being made to address this issue. Veterans Park, just outside the neighborhood, offers over 14 acres of recreational space with 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. Residents have convenient access to shopping and dining, with Target and Albertsons close by, and popular eateries like Phil Trani’s and The Green Olive along Long Beach Boulevard. Chain restaurants such as In-N-Out Burger and Starbucks are found on Spring Street. Transportation is facilitated by the nearby Willow Street Station, offering metro access throughout Long Beach and Los Angeles, and bus stops along Wardlow Road and Pacific Avenue. However, busy roads make walking less practical. The 405 freeway runs along the northern edge, connecting residents to Los Angeles 20 miles away. The Long Beach Airport is 4 miles east, and the MemorialCare Long Beach Medical Center is located in the southern part of the community. Students attend highly rated schools, including Birney Elementary School, Charles Evans Hughes Middle School, and Long Beach Polytechnic High School, known for its strong athletic programs.
