A quiet Long Beach neighborhood
Those looking for a peaceful suburban setting in the middle of Long Beach can find it in Los Altos South, a residential neighborhood known for the size of its yards. “People usually move there for the family atmosphere and the bigger lots,” says Realtor and resident Justin Sidell who works with Dream Life Real Estate. The neighborhood’s other standout feature is its central location, which makes it ideal for those looking to commute to North Orange County or the South Bay. “There’s close proximity to everything,” Sidell says.

Updated midcentury housing
Northeast of downtown Long Beach, Los Altos South was developed from the late 1940s through the 1960s. The winding streets are lined with sidewalks and larger, well-manicured yards with flourishing garden beds. As for housing options, there are mostly midcentury ranch-style homes and split-levels. That doesn’t mean it’s architecturally uninteresting though. Most houses in the area have been updated and remodeled, increasing the square footage — the neighborhood average is around 1600 square feet — and adding carefully crafted modern exteriors. “The homes in Los Altos were built back when people wanted bigger lots and smaller houses,” says Realtor and resident Joe Sopo who works with Keller Williams Realty. “Things have changed, obviously. There’s hardly a home in the neighborhood that hasn’t added bedrooms or bathrooms over the last few decades.” Ranch-style homes range from $1 million to $1.6 million, while split-levels start from $1 million and go up to $1.5 million. Whichever style, the neighborhood’s homes are sought-after. “There's low inventory, and a lot of buyers wanting to get in,” Sidell says.
