Neighborhood

Perched on the edge of the ocean, Downtown Long Beach merges the urban lifestyle of Los Angeles with a distinctly laid-back beach town vibe. The local dining scene is full of your next favorites, especially if you love seafood. The East Village Arts District cultivates the neighborhood’s creative side, and numerous specialty galleries and performance venues abound.

The city celebrates its diverse population with an eclectic roster of cultural festivals, attracting folks from all across the region throughout the year. The coastline is immensely popular among visitors and locals alike, with Alamitos Beach and ShoreLine Aquatic Park providing excellent venues for hanging out and soaking up the sunshine.

Unlike much of the LA area, Long Beach has earned recognition as being exceptionally bicycle-friendly, giving folks Downtown the ability to easily get around without a car.
