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.

Living in southern California you learn the true 4-seasons of the year. 1) Drought, 2) Wild Fires, 3) Riots, and 4) Traffic.

Living in Park Estates used to be something worth jealousy of friends. Now with the removal of our nearest grocery- Ralphs things have become a little more difficult with the commute required to Marina Pacifica just to buy a gallon of milk. The drive is not the worst part, but the mall parking just to buy said milk is a waste of time and inconvenient. I'd rather pay the extra $2.50 and just buy my milk at CVS now.

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