Addams. Tucked into the northern side of Long Beach, this neighborhood delivers everyday convenience with a friendly, residential feel. Classic postwar cottages and tidy apartment courts line quiet blocks, while quick access to the 710 and 91 keeps commutes simple. Weekend plans often spill into nearby Bixby Knolls for indie dining and arts, or over to Wrigley for coffee and casual bites. Big errands are easy, too, with shopping corridors in adjacent Lakewood just minutes away.
Green space is a real perk. The river-adjacent DeForest Park offers shaded picnic areas, a nature trail, and access to restored wetlands—ideal for jogs, dog walks, and birding. A few blocks east, Houghton Park anchors community life with sports fields, playgrounds, and year‑round programs. For learning, creativity, and civic services, the modern Michelle Obama Neighborhood Library features a makerspace, teen zone, and a robust calendar of events.
Families appreciate the neighborhood’s connection to Long Beach Unified. Addams Elementary serves younger students, while the recently modernized Jordan High School provides extensive college and career pathways. Local bus lines run along Atlantic Avenue and Long Beach Boulevard, linking residents to Uptown amenities and Downtown destinations without the car.
