Upper Westside Homes for Rent

Upper Westside in Long Beach is a modest midcentury neighborhood where homeowners take pride in maintaining their properties. The area is characterized by single-family homes, primarily midcentury Minimal Traditional houses, which are well-kept despite their age. Silverado Park, a central feature of the neighborhood, spans over 10 acres and hosts various clubs, sports leagues, and social programs. The park includes a community center with a year-round indoor pool, game courts for tennis and basketball, and spaces for activities like floral arrangement workshops and group sports. While Upper Westside is mainly residential, it has a few restaurants and shops around its edges. Dining options include chain eateries like KFC and Popeye's, as well as local spots like Bonanza Tacos Y Mariscos and the vegan-friendly PlanTita's Kitchen. For nightlife, residents can visit nearby bars such as the Crow’s Nest. The neighborhood's proximity to Interstates 405 and 710 makes it convenient for commuters, though it can lead to traffic and noise. The area is not particularly walkable, so driving or using the city bus is recommended. Upper Westside is home to John Muir Academy and Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo High School, both of which have high ratings and offer a range of academic programs, including AP and technical courses.
