A neighborhood known for its peace suburban vibe

A quiet oasis in the city, Park Estates is known for its high-end suburban feel. With spacious yards and well-rated public schools, it's a peaceful neighborhood of Long Beach. It offers a blend of residential tranquility and proximity to bustling city retail. "It really offers the best of both worlds," says local Realtor Shannon Paul, who works with Zaia Estates and has over five years of experience in the area. "You get this quaint, intensely suburban enclave with beautiful custom homes and tree-lined streets — which I know everyone says about every neighborhood, but these are serious trees — and at the same time, as soon as you leave the neighborhood, there's a ton of great shopping and dining.”

Custom and midcentury housing

Along the streets of Park Estates, residents can stroll along sidewalks, passing by lush plant life and landscaping in yards known for their size. “People choose the neighborhood because they are looking for custom homes on large lots,” says Realtor Janel Winston who works with Coldwell Banker Realty and has over two decades of experience in the area. The homes in Park Estates are thoughtfully designed with layouts that maximize natural light, and some structures were designed by well-known architects like Lloyd Wright and Richard Joseph Neutra. Developed in 1948, the neighborhood features midcentury architecture, including ranch-style homes and spacious five-bedroom homes. Ranch-style homes range from $1.2 million to $4 million, while five-bedroom houses can start from $2 million and go up to $2.3 million.
