"It's a neighborhood where you can visualize the past. The houses from the 1930s and '40s are classic, and all are very different. We like the neighborhood because it's very safe and family-oriented."
"California Heights was first developed in the 1920s, when there was a growth spurt in Long Beach triggered by the discovery of oil on nearby Signal Hill. Earlier, most of the housing in Long Beach was closer to downtown."
"California Heights includes about 1,500 homes and is the largest designated historical district in the city. The neighborhood is bounded by Wardlow Road on the south, Bixby Road on the north, Atlantic Avenue on the west and Cherry Avenue on the east."
