Long Beach neighborhoods compared by home value
Zillow tracks typical home values for 41 Long Beach neighborhoods. The citywide figure was $852,391 in September 2026, up 2.4% in a year and 84.3% in ten years. The table covers 15 of the best-known areas, from the coast to the north end of the city. Zillow's index covers every home type, so areas with many condos and apartments converted to condos read far lower than streets of detached houses, even when they sit a few blocks apart.

|---|---|---|
| Peninsula | $2,284,521 | +10.5% |
| Naples | $2,020,015 | +8.5% |
| Belmont Shore | $1,364,075 | +3.6% |
| Bixby Knolls | $1,306,819 | +5.5% |
| Los Cerritos Area | $1,226,865 | +3.6% |

| Downtown | $465,995 | -3.9% |
| East Village | $394,615 | -5.7% |
The spread is wide: the Peninsula's typical value is almost six times East Village's. Most of the high end sits in the southeast, around Alamitos Bay, and in the older estate streets of Bixby Knolls and Los Cerritos in the north.

Long Beach's coastal neighborhoods
Peninsula, Long Beach: $2,284,521 typical value
Zillow typical value $2,284,521 (September 2026), up 10.5% in a year, the highest of any Long Beach neighborhood and the biggest gain in this table. The Peninsula is a narrow strip about a mile long with the ocean on one side and Alamitos Bay on the other, entered at 54th Place and Ocean Boulevard and ending at the Alamitos Channel. Homes are mostly beach houses on small lots, and the whole strip sits between ocean and bay at low elevation. Before you buy, pull the FEMA flood map and the state tsunami hazard map for the address, and price flood insurance early.
Naples, Long Beach: $2,020,015 typical value
Zillow typical value $2,020,015, up 8.5%. Naples is three islands in Alamitos Bay divided by canals, laid out from 1905 by developer Arthur M. Parsons, with Italian street names and a fountain at its center. Mother's Beach (Marine Park) on the bay has calm, shallow water, and the Naples Island Christmas Boat Parade runs through the canals each December. The Naples seawall, rebuilt in 1938 after the 1933 Long Beach earthquake, began replacement work in 2015, but the work has stalled over funding; ask the city about the status near any home you are considering, and check whether a dock is covered by a city permit.
Belmont Shore, Long Beach: $1,364,075 typical value
Zillow typical value $1,364,075, up 3.6%. Belmont Shore runs from Bluff Park east to Alamitos Bay and Naples, with 2nd Street and its 15 cross streets forming the business district. The housing mix is 1920s and 1930s Spanish-style homes, older houses expanded into modern designs, large newer houses and blocks of apartments. The beach sits inside the federal breakwater, so it gets little surf; kayakers, kitesurfers and boaters use it more than swimmers. The Leeway Sailing and Aquatics Center has taught sailing on the bay since 1929. Read more on the Belmont Shore page.
Belmont Heights, Long Beach: $1,175,183 typical value
Zillow typical value $1,175,183, up 1.6%. Belmont Heights was its own city for a year before joining Long Beach in 1909. Its borders are Ocean Boulevard and Livingston Drive on the south, Redondo Avenue on the west, 7th Street on the north and Nieto Avenue on the east, with shops along Broadway east of Redondo. The Belmont Heights Historic District, between 4th and 7th Streets from Newport to Roswell Avenue, is mostly Craftsman bungalows: 206 of 304 homes surveyed were contributing Craftsman houses, built mainly between 1905 and 1939. Read more on the Belmont Heights page.
Bluff Park, Long Beach: $777,413 typical value
Zillow typical value $777,413, down 3.3%, one of the few areas to fall. The neighborhood figure covers every home type, including condos along Ocean Boulevard, as well as many older single-family homes. The Bluff Park Historic District, created in 1982, runs from Junipero Avenue to Loma Avenue between Ocean Boulevard and a line between 2nd Street and Broadway. The narrow park on the bluff gives the area its name, and the Long Beach Museum of Art sits on Ocean. Ask the HOA for reserves and any balcony inspection results if you look at an Ocean Boulevard condo.
Alamitos Beach, Long Beach: $516,007 typical value
Zillow typical value $516,007, down 2.4%. Alamitos Beach sits between downtown and Bluff Park along Ocean Boulevard, and was planned as its own townsite before Long Beach annexed it. Housing is mostly condos and apartments, with some single-family homes, which is why the typical value is low for a beach area. The sand in front of it is set to host beach volleyball at the 2028 Olympics. Buyers here are usually choosing between condo buildings, so compare HOA dues, reserve studies and parking before price.
Downtown and central Long Beach neighborhoods
Downtown Long Beach: $465,995 typical value
Zillow typical value $465,995, down 3.9%. Downtown runs from the Los Angeles River east to about Alamitos Avenue and from Ocean Boulevard north to around 7th Street, and includes the West End, North Pine, the Civic Center and the downtown core. Housing is mostly condos and apartments. The Aquarium of the Pacific, Shoreline Village, Rainbow Harbor, the Pine Avenue restaurants and the Convention Center are all here, and the Metro A Line runs north to Los Angeles. Redfin's median sale price in the 90802 ZIP, which covers downtown, was $533,843 in the three months to September 2026, and homes took a median 56 days to sell.
East Village, Long Beach: $394,615 typical value
Zillow typical value $394,615, down 5.7%, the lowest value and the largest drop in this table. East Village is the arts district on the east side of downtown, with galleries, small restaurants and the Second Saturday Art Walk. Most homes for sale are condos and lofts. Low entry prices come with condo-specific checks: the building's FHA and lender approval, the share of units rented out, and any special assessments.
Rose Park, Long Beach: $853,033 typical value
Zillow typical value $853,033, up 2.1%, almost exactly the citywide figure. Rose Park and Rose Park South are two city historic districts named for a small circular park on Orizaba Avenue at 8th Street, donated to the city in 1910. Most homes are Craftsman bungalows from 1905 to the 1920s, with some Prairie and Mission Revival houses and later Ranch homes. Belmont Heights is to the east. Changes to exteriors in a historic district need city approval, so ask for any past permits.
Wrigley, Long Beach: $821,089 typical value
Zillow typical value $821,089, up 2.8%. Wrigley is a group of neighborhoods on the west side of the city, near the Los Angeles River: North Wrigley, South Wrigley, Southeast Wrigley and Wrigley Heights. Homes on 48 lots built by William Wrigley Jr.'s company between 1928 and 1934 form a landmark district. The A Line stops at Wrigley station, and Veterans Park and the Wrigley Marketplace serve the area.
North and east Long Beach neighborhoods
Bixby Knolls, Long Beach: $1,306,819 typical value
Zillow typical value $1,306,819, up 5.5%. Bixby Knolls runs north of the 405 roughly to Del Amo Boulevard, with Atlantic Avenue and Long Beach Boulevard as its main streets. Most homes were custom-built between 1920 and 1940. Shops and restaurants line Atlantic south of San Antonio Drive, and the Virginia Country Club and the Rancho Los Cerritos historic site sit on the west side by the river. Redfin's median sale price in 90807, which covers Bixby Knolls, California Heights and Los Cerritos, was $1,109,674 in the three months to September 2026, up 9.4%.
Los Cerritos, Long Beach: $1,226,865 typical value
Zillow typical value $1,226,865 for the area Zillow calls Los Cerritos, up 3.6%. The neighborhood was subdivided in 1906 around Rancho Los Cerritos and has about 700 homes, many on estate-sized lots, including houses by Greene and Greene and Kirtland Cutter. It includes the gated La Linda tract. Film crews use its streets often: a Country Club Drive home was the Bueller house in Ferris Bueller's Day Off. Large older homes mean large inspection lists, so budget for sewer-line, foundation and electrical checks.
California Heights, Long Beach: $948,822 typical value
Zillow typical value $948,822, up 1.5%. Cal Heights sits north of Signal Hill and west of Long Beach Airport. It has been a city historic district since 1990 and holds about 1,500 homes, mostly Spanish Colonial Revival, with Craftsman and Tudor Revival houses mixed in. Lots were sold after oil was found on Signal Hill in 1921, and most building was complete by 1939. Any exterior change needs a Certificate of Appropriateness from the city, which affects remodel plans and ADUs.
Los Altos, Long Beach: $1,070,391 typical value
Zillow typical value $1,070,391, up 3.8%. Los Altos is in east Long Beach, bounded by Clark Avenue, Studebaker Road, the 405 and Willow Street, and Cal State Long Beach. The Los Altos Center has a Target, Trader Joe's and Lazy Acres, and the 405 and 605 are close. Redfin's median sale price in 90815 was $1,074,684 in the three months to September 2026, and 64.9% of homes in the ZIP are owner-occupied (Census ACS 2020-2024).
North Long Beach: $711,012 typical value
Zillow typical value $711,012, up 3.1%. North Long Beach covers the area north of the railroad line above Bixby Knolls up to the city limits with Compton, Paramount, Bellflower and Lakewood, a few blocks past the 91 freeway. It is mostly residential, with the Uptown business district on Atlantic Avenue, Houghton Park, the Michelle Obama Neighborhood Library and Jordan High School. Redfin's median sale price in 90805 was $731,785 in the three months to September 2026, with 44.7% of sales closing above list.
Long Beach neighborhoods by what you are looking for
Walkable shopping streets: Belmont Shore and Downtown
2nd Street in Belmont Shore and Pine Avenue downtown are the two strips where you can do most errands and eat out on foot. Smaller walkable stretches run along 4th Street's Retro Row, Broadway in Belmont Heights and Atlantic Avenue in Bixby Knolls. Citywide, 66.8% of workers drive alone to work and 16.2% work from home (Census ACS 2020-2024).
Living on the water: Naples, the Peninsula and Belmont Shore
These three have bay or ocean frontage and the city's highest values, from $1,364,075 to $2,284,521 (Zillow, September 2026). Expect flood insurance quotes, seawall questions and summer parking pressure. See our California homeowners insurance guide before you write an offer.
Historic homes: California Heights, Belmont Heights, Rose Park and Bluff Park
Each has a city historic district, with Craftsman and Spanish Revival homes from the 1900s to 1930s. Districts limit exterior changes but can open the door to the Mills Act property tax program, which the city runs; ask the planning office whether a home has a contract.
Lower entry price: East Village, Downtown and Alamitos Beach
These are the only areas in the table under $520,000 (Zillow, September 2026), because most homes are condos. All three fell in value over the year, so check recent sales in the same building rather than the neighborhood figure.
Detached homes near the median: Wrigley, Rose Park and North Long Beach
Typical values from $711,012 to $853,033 put these close to or below the citywide $852,391. They have more single-family houses than the downtown condo areas, and a detached lot can have room for an ADU. Long Beach says it is the highest per-capita producer of ADUs in California.
Most value gained in the year: the Peninsula and Naples
The Peninsula rose 10.5% and Naples 8.5% in the year to September 2026. Among all 41 Zillow neighborhoods, Bixby Hill also rose 8.5%. Among the areas in our table, East Village (down 5.7%), Downtown (down 3.9%) and Bluff Park (down 3.3%) fell most.
What to check in any Long Beach neighborhood
Long Beach's housing is old: the median home was built in 1959 (Census ACS 2020-2024). That shapes the checks. Ask for a sewer-lateral camera inspection and the age of the electrical panel. In a historic district, ask the city which changes need a Certificate of Appropriateness. Near the coast, look up the tsunami and flood maps. Across the city, the city's methane gas zone map shows areas where new construction needs gas mitigation, which matters if you plan to add an ADU.
Property tax is the same rule statewide but the rate varies by tax rate area; a sample Long Beach rate area was 1.259025% for 2026-27 (Los Angeles County Auditor-Controller).
