Long Beach Condos for Sale: Prices, Buildings and What to Check

Long Beach condo prices by ZIP code

Condo prices in Long Beach split three ways: the downtown and Ocean Boulevard towers, the beach and bay areas of the southeast, and the older garden complexes in the central and northern ZIPs. The table shows Redfin's median sale price for condos and co-ops over the three months to September 2026. Where only a handful of units sold, one sale can swing the median, so read the sales column first.

Downtown's 90802 is the only ZIP with real volume: 82 condo sales in three months, more than twice as many as any other ZIP. Its 155 condos for sale at the end of September equal 5.8 months of supply, so buyers there have time and choice. The 90813 jump of 104.9% comes from 18 sales and reflects which buildings sold, not a doubling of value. Across Los Angeles County, Redfin's median condo sale for the month of September 2026 was $644,414, with a median of 73 days on market, so most Long Beach ZIPs sit below the county median. Full histories are on the Los Angeles County market data page.

Best areas to buy a condo in Long Beach

The buildings below are named from community pages on a local brokerage site (Beach Cities Real Estate), checked October 30, 2026. Asking prices change daily; use them only as a rough band, and confirm unit counts, dues and rules with each association.

Downtown towers: Aqua, West Ocean and Harbor Place (90802)

The newest high-rise condos in Long Beach sit in the downtown core along Ocean Boulevard and Seaside Way, close to the convention center, the Metro A Line terminus and Rainbow Harbor. Aqua is two towers at 388 and 488 East Ocean Boulevard, built in 2004, with units of 590 to 1,647 square feet, a pool, spa, gym, concierge and underground parking. West Ocean, at 400 West Ocean Boulevard and 411 Seaside Way, was built in 2007 and has 134 units in the Ocean Boulevard tower and 114 in the Seaside Way tower. Harbor Place Tower, at 525 East Seaside Way, dates from 1990 and has 220 units of 622 to 1,932 square feet. On October 30, 2026, asking prices ran from about $361,000 to $949,000 at Harbor Place and $400,000 to $1.08 million at Aqua.

Ocean Boulevard landmarks: Villa Riviera, International Tower and The Pacific (90802)

Around Alamitos Avenue, the bluff-top buildings face the beach directly. Villa Riviera, at 800 East Ocean Boulevard, was built in 1928 and is a designated historic property under the Mills Act, which can lower the property tax bill. Its dues are described as covering electricity, gas, water, trash, cable, insurance and on-site security, and it has pet restrictions. International Tower, the round building at 700 East Ocean Boulevard, was built in 1965 and has 240 units of 880 to 2,180 square feet. The Pacific, at 850 East Ocean Boulevard, was built in 1992 with units of 881 to 1,788 square feet and direct beach access. Ask each building for its latest balcony and structural inspection reports; age is the main variable here.

Alamitos Beach and Bluff Park (90802 and 90803)

Further east along Ocean Boulevard the buildings are lower and the streets behind them are older walk-up stock. 1000 Ocean, at 1000 East Ocean Boulevard, was built in 2003 with two- and three-bedroom units of 1,368 to 2,114 square feet, a pool and direct beach access; asking prices on October 30, 2026 were $1.1 million to $1.2 million. Galaxy Towers, at 2999 East Ocean Boulevard between downtown and Belmont Shore, dates from 1967 and averages about 1,510 square feet a unit. Zillow's typical value for all homes in the Alamitos Beach neighborhood was $516,007 in September 2026, down 2.4% on a year, which reflects the many small units there.

Belmont Shore, Belmont Heights and Alamitos Bay (90803 and 90814)

This is the most expensive condo market in the city, with a Redfin median of $654,481 in 90803. Units here include small buildings near the sand, such as a 1971 building across from the beach, plus waterfront complexes. Spinnaker Cove, built in 1982 on the Long Beach Marina, has three- and four-bedroom units, some on the water with a boat slip, and charges two sets of monthly dues. Inland, 90814 had a median of $458,850 across 14 sales. Our Belmont Shore guide and Belmont Heights guide cover each area.

East Side and the PCH corridor (90804)

The lowest entry prices close to the coast are in 90804, where the Redfin median condo sale was $419,988, down 13.4% on a year, and supply stood at 6.2 months. Much of the stock for sale is studios and one-bedrooms, several of them along Pacific Coast Highway. Small units under 600 square feet were listed in the $245,000 to $325,000 range in late October 2026. Check parking, laundry and whether the building has been approved for FHA loans, since many of these complexes are older.

East Long Beach near CSULB and El Dorado Park (90815)

East Long Beach has the city's largest gated condo complexes. El Dorado Lakes, at 7890 East Spring Street, was built in 1973 on more than 13 acres of ponds and streams, with units of 632 to 1,200 square feet, two pools and tennis courts; one-bedrooms were asking $380,000 to $430,000 on October 30, 2026. Bixby Riviera, a guard-gated complex from 1981 north of 7th Street beside Cal State Long Beach, and Bixby Village, built in 1979 along the Bixby Village golf course, are nearby. Redfin's median condo sale in 90815 was $494,985, with a median of 82 days on market. See our Long Beach gated communities guide for each complex.

Bixby Knolls and North Long Beach (90807 and 90805)

The north side has fewer condos and lower prices. Redfin's medians were $334,990 in 90807 and $431,487 in 90805, each on fewer than ten sales, so treat them as a range rather than a firm price. Country Club Villas, built in 1974 near Virginia Country Club, lists a pool, tennis court and recreation room, with water and trash in the dues. North Long Beach has a few small complexes, with one-bedrooms listed from about $315,000 in late October 2026.

West Long Beach (90810)

West Long Beach, between the 710 freeway and the Wilmington border, is mostly single-family homes, and only four condos sold there in the three months to September 2026, at a median of $361,989. Supply is thin, so most buyers watch for a unit for months. The area sits closest to the port and its truck routes; drive the street at different times of day before you offer.

Is it wise to buy a condo in Long Beach now?

It can be, if the building is sound and the numbers work without counting on a quick price rise. Condo prices fell in most Long Beach ZIPs over the year to September 2026 while single-family prices held or rose: in 90803, the median house sold for $1,862,030, up 16.4%, while the median condo fell 12.2%. That gap gives buyers room to negotiate, and it also tells you resale may be slow.

Three local factors deserve more weight than usual. First, age: many coastal buildings went up between the 1920s and 1970s, so ask for the reserve study, the latest balcony and exterior elevated element inspection and any special assessment history. California's SB 326 inspection rule for condos is explained in our balcony inspection law guide. Second, earthquakes: Long Beach sits on the Newport-Inglewood fault, the source of the 1933 Long Beach earthquake, so ask whether the master policy includes earthquake cover and whether the building has had a seismic retrofit. Our earthquake insurance guide explains a unit policy. Third, insurance: confirm the master policy's limits and deductible, and read our California homeowners insurance guide before you budget for an HO-6 policy.

Financing a Long Beach condo: warrantability and loan approvals

Long Beach condo loans: warrantability

A conventional lender reviews the whole building, not just your unit. Common problems in older Long Beach buildings are a large share of units owned by investors, a single owner holding many units, low reserves, pending litigation and commercial space on the ground floor. A building that fails becomes "non-warrantable", and you would need a portfolio loan with a larger down payment and a higher rate.

FHA and VA approval for Long Beach condos

FHA and VA loans need the building itself to be on the agency's approved list. Look the complex up on HUD's FHA condo search and the VA's condo report before you write an offer, and ask the listing agent whether the association will apply if it is not listed. Approval is building by building, so two complexes on the same street can differ.

Long Beach condo loans: the monthly payment

At Freddie Mac's average 30-year rate of 7.24% (week of October 29, 2026), a downtown condo at the 90802 median of $526,984 with 20% down costs about $2,873 a month in principal and interest. Property tax adds about $553 a month at the 1.259025% rate for Long Beach tax rate area 4998, before any special assessments, and dues come on top.

Condo fees and costs in Long Beach

Monthly dues vary more by what they cover than by price. Published community pages list examples: the Belmont Shore building across from the beach at $301 a month including cable, water, insurance and trash; Villa Riviera covering electricity and gas as well; El Dorado Lakes covering water, trash and sewer; Aqua charging two separate monthly dues including internet. Ask for the current budget rather than relying on these figures, and compare dues after subtracting the utilities they include.

• Property tax. The 2026-27 rate for Long Beach tax rate area 4998 is 1.259025%: the 1% base plus voter-approved debt for Long Beach Unified, Long Beach City College and the Metropolitan Water District. Other parts of the city can carry different rates. See our Los Angeles County property tax guide.
• Mills Act savings. Some historic downtown buildings, such as Villa Riviera, have Mills Act contracts that reduce the assessed value. Ask for the contract and how the savings pass to the unit.
• Transfer tax. Los Angeles County charges $1.10 per $1,000 of price; see our transfer tax guide.
• Special assessments. Ask for two years of board minutes to see whether any repair levy is planned.
• Parking and storage. In some towers a second space is deeded separately and sold for extra.

Long Beach condo buyer checklist

1. Pull the Redfin ZIP figures above for your target area and compare with recent sales in the same building.
2. Get the full disclosure package: CC&Rs, bylaws, budget, reserve study, insurance declarations and two years of minutes. Our California HOA laws guide lists what the association must give you.
3. Ask for the balcony and exterior elevated element report and any seismic retrofit records.
4. Check the building on the FHA and VA condo lists if you need either loan.
5. Read the rules on pets, rentals and short-term rentals, which vary building by building.
6. Check the flood zone on the FEMA map for bay-front and Peninsula buildings.
7. Visit at night and on a weekend: Ocean Boulevard event days, such as the Grand Prix in April, close streets near downtown towers.
8. Budget property tax at the parcel's actual rate, not 1%.
