California Heights


It's like going back in time or Living in History.


If you'd like to live in a community with old-fashion ambience, you've found it! Take a stroll down the tree-lined avenues lit by the renovated antique street lamps. Along the way, you´ll see a wide variety of home styles including 1938 Ranch, Tudor Revival, Spanish Colonial Revival, and the well-known Craftsman Bungalow.

 



How It All Started


Until the discovery of oil in nearby Signal Hill in the early 1920s, California Heights was part of the Bixby Ranch and was primarily cattle land. Once oil was discovered, there were those who thought California Heights might have oil reserves as well. But by 1923, it became painfully evident that there was very little oil to be had and residential development began.

The Jothan Bixby Company built 25 Spanish style bungalows. Then other homes were built one at a time creating a variety of home styles in the neighborhood. The California Heights area grew rapidly attracting new families, and by 1939, most of the building was complete.

 

Today, this neighborhood is a close community dedicated to protecting and preserving the character of each home and the integrity of the neighborhood as a whole. Because of its high concentration of older original homes, California Heights is officially recognized by the city as one of 17 historic neighborhoods in Long Beach.
