The History of Downtown Long Beach
A great place to Live & Work, Downtown Long Beach has it all! A nice mixture of old with the new and staying very modernized is they city to this community and contributes to it’s economical success.
Once a neighborhood of primarily high industrial and commerce…you can now find yourself staring at a Luxury Tower of condos, Lofts or apartments. This process has been going on for decades and will continue for the years to come.
Another nice and very beneficial feature to this community is how great the public transportation business has made it’s mark here. No need to drive to work and sit in traffic, just simply hop on the bus and be taken to your destination in minutes, saving you the headache!
