Signal Hill is its own city, just over two square miles and completely surrounded by Long Beach. Oil made it famous after the 1921 gusher at Alamitos #1, and the city incorporated in 1924. Today the derricks have largely given way to homes, parks, and wide-open views from the top of the hill. Housing ranges from single family homes to a wide choice of condos and townhomes, many built as the city redeveloped former oil land. Up top, you will find view properties that make the most of the elevation. Down the hill, a practical mix of residences sits close to everyday shopping. Signal Hill works well for owners who want a small-city feel with Long Beach access in every direction, whether you are moving up to a view home, downsizing into a townhome, or deciding what to do with a property you have inherited. Hilltop Park and Discovery Well Park anchor a network of walking trails, and Signal Hill Park adds more green space. Errands are easy at Town Center East and Signal Hill Gateway Center, where you will find Costco, The Home Depot, Target, and Best Buy. The city is served by Long Beach Unified School District, and Signal Hill Elementary, Alvarado Elementary, and Nelson Academy are all within city limits.
