Lower Westside puts you on the west edge of Long Beach with an everyday rhythm shaped by the waterfront and long-standing local businesses. Along Santa Fe Avenue and Pacific Coast Highway, you’ll find family-run eateries, colorful murals, and quick routes to job centers at the Port of Long Beach. Residents enjoy proximity to neighboring Wrigley and an easy hop to Downtown, plus access to nearby hubs in Los Angeles County like Wilmington and San Pedro.
Recreation is a strong suit. Weekend soccer matches and community programs animate the fields and community center at Silverado Park, while Admiral Kidd Park offers playgrounds and shaded picnic spots. East of the river, Drake Park ties into the Los Angeles River Bike Path, giving cyclists a scenic route to the ocean. Commuters appreciate frequent service from Long Beach Transit, keeping the area well connected without a car.
Families are served by Long Beach Unified schools, including Cabrillo High School with its academies focused on engineering, health, and the arts, and neighborhood elementary options like Stevenson Elementary known for community-centered programming.
Whether you’re drawn by affordability, access to the coast, or a tight-knit, come-as-you-are feel, Lower Westside offers everyday convenience with real urban texture. If you’re buying or selling here, Agent Pronto can connect you with a trusted local agent to guide your next move.
