Park Estates is a charming residential neighborhood in southeast Long Beach, defined largely by manicured lawns and tree-shaded sidewalks. While the neighborhood itself is almost entirely residential, living in Park Estates puts you amidst some of the city’s signature landmarks and amenities. The Pacific Coast Highway runs along the southwestern edge of the community, where you’ll find performance venues like the Long Beach Playhouse and the mainstay rock club Dipiazza’s.
The neighborhood sits right on the west side of the California State University Long Beach campus, within a short walk of the Central Quad as well as popular attractions like the Earl Burns Miller Japanese Garden and the Carpenter Performing Arts Center. There’s no shortage of opportunities to spend time outdoors, whether you want to take a stroll around Colorado Lagoon or head south a couple of blocks to Belmont Shore and Bluff Park on the coastline.

We're not the most socialable people. We nod our heads, but rarely get the opportunity to engage in conversation.

Little prevalence in crime but police and other first responders are quick to respond.
