California Heights is a residential neighborhood in north Long Beach, set inland from the coast among broad streets and historic homes, including many Spanish Colonial Revival and Tudor-style houses.

The neighborhood’s historic character is visible in its architecture and preserved streetscapes, while nearby Bixby Knolls adds cafés, restaurants, shops and local arts events. For outdoor time, residents can reach neighborhood parks and the gardens and trails of Rancho Los Cerritos, a historic site with grounds open for exploration. The California Heights neighborhood’s median rent is $2,095 per month, with a typical range of $1,190 to $5,000. Local trips are often made by car, bicycle or on foot; bus service and connections to Long Beach’s wider transit network offer alternatives.
