Bixby Hill

Bixby Hill is one of east Long Beach's most private addresses. This gated community sits beside Cal State Long Beach, with a 24-hour guarded entrance at Palo Verde Avenue and Anaheim Road. Streets stay quiet, through traffic is limited, and historic Rancho Los Alamitos, with its adobe ranch house, barns, and gardens, sits right in the neighborhood. Most homes here were built from the mid-1960s into the early 1970s. Expect spacious one- and two-story single-family homes, with styles ranging from mid-century modern to Mediterranean, plus a smaller selection of townhomes and condos. It fits established owners who want room, privacy, and a guarded gate, and it works just as well for empty nesters trading a larger house for a townhome inside the same community. If you are managing an inherited Bixby Hill property, the details matter, from HOA rules to condition and timing. Shopping and dining are close at 2nd and PCH and Marina Pacifica, and Belmont Shore and Alamitos Bay are a short drive south. Bike paths connect toward the bay and Seal Beach. The neighborhood is served by Long Beach Unified School District, with Cal State Long Beach just across the street.
