Long Beach sits on the Pacific coast in southern Los Angeles County and has a storied maritime, oil-and-refinery and port history. The large port of Long Beach is one of the world’s busiest. Neighbourhoods within Long Beach include Belmont Shore, Naples Island, Bixby Knolls, and downtown Long Beach. Housing types are coastal single-family homes (some on canals, especially Naples Island), suburban and dense urban areas, condos/lofts near the waterfront, and older craftsman style homes inland. The city is urban/suburban; coastal and part of the Los Angeles metropolitan sprawl. The nearest major larger city is Los Angeles (~20–30 minutes away). Existing home prices in Long Beach tend to be somewhat less than Los Angeles city core, but still high. Though I don’t have exact latest city-wide median here in the sources I gathered, typical homes might range US$800K-1.5 M depending on location (waterfront vs inland). Building new homes in premium zones along the coast will likely reach US$2 M+, especially for waterfront lots.
