Bordered on the north, west, and east by the city of Long Beach, Ca, North Long Beach is just north of the affluent neighborhood of Bixby Knolls and the celebrated Del Amo Boulevard.

North Long Beach, affectionately referred to as “Northtown”, is a pleasant enclave of Long Beach. Unlike similar neighborhoods a bit closer to shore, it offers larger lots at competitive prices. You get more home for your dollar here.

You will find these charming neighborhoods nicely established. Most houses here were built between 1920 and 1960. There is also a selection of newer homes, if that is more your style.

If you are looking for affordability without sacrificing convenience and cleanliness, North Long Beach may be your answer. Offering surprising value, this area has many properties that fall under the FHA and NSP first-time home buyer purchase price limits.

Most of the real estate in North Long Beach is in the small to medium range. Many homes are under 1,400 square feet, but a number of houses are available in the 1,400 – 1,800 square foot range as well. That is not to say no larger homes can be found, they are just not as plentiful.

Home to approximately 90,000 people, this primarily residential neighborhood also includes business and retail located mostly on its eastern edge. Less commerce than other Long Beach areas lends this neighborhood a more idyllic and slow-paced feel.

This central location is in close proximity to many sought after destinations. Mere minutes from restaurants, schools, parks, and shopping, saying this area is convenient doesn't quite do it justice.

One of the favorite local restaurants is Avila's Ranchito Mexican Restaurant. This eatery, nestled among a small shopping area on Atlantic Blvd., has been here for 35 years. Locals praise it for generous portions, fast and friendly service, and authentic, affordable cuisine.

North Long Beach also boasts Coolidge, Davenport and Houghton parks. Along with Jordan High School, these amenities offer swimming, a skate park, computer lab, and senior center as well as play grounds, hiking and picnic options.

Whether you are in the mood for a walk to the park, a quick jaunt to go out to eat, or a short drive to the beach, North Long Beach will please.

Priced perfectly for the first-time home buyer, North Long Beach real estate offers your Southern Californian lifestyle with convenience and affordability. The vast array of housing options allows for a variety of tastes and budgets to find their perfect home.
