Belmont Shore

Built around Livingston Drive and 2nd Street between Bluff Park and Naples Island, the neighborhood mixes 1920s and 1930s Spanish-style homes with a beach protected from surf by the Long Beach breakwater, making it a favorite of kitesurfers rather than swimmers.

Naples

Developer Arthur Parsons raised $500,000 to reshape Alamitos Bay marshland into three canal-laced islands starting in 1905; the seawall was rebuilt in 1938 after the 1933 Long Beach earthquake and is again undergoing replacement amid funding disputes.

Bixby Knolls

Subdivided from the Bixby family's Rancho Los Cerritos after Jotham Bixby's death in 1916, the neighborhood's homes were mostly custom-built between 1920 and 1940 and it still includes the historic Rancho Los Cerritos site on its western edge.

The same eye, as an actual inspection

Reading a listing from the desk is not an inspection. When you are under contract, the house still has to be walked — roof to slab, by an inspector.
