The Plaza is a classic postwar neighborhood in east Long Beach, north of the 405. It began as part of the Lakewood Plaza tract, and in 1953 residents voted to join the City of Long Beach. Homes went up from the late 1940s through the 1950s, and the streets still carry that easy, mid-century suburban feel. The original houses were modest two and three bedroom single family homes, and many have since been remodeled or expanded with added bedrooms, baths and family rooms. That mix creates options. Owners who have updated can move up with strong equity, while longtime owners and families handling an inherited home can decide whether to refresh, rent or sell. El Dorado Park sits right at the neighborhood's edge, with room for walks, picnics and weekend sports. East Spring Street is the main shopping and dining district for this part of the city, and grocery stores have operated at Palo Verde Avenue and Spring Street since the early 1960s. The Plaza is served by Long Beach Unified School District, with quick access to the 405 and 605 freeways.
