Neighborhood
Downtown Long Beach & the East Village
Downtown Long Beach sits right on the water. It has the energy of a city center with the easygoing pace of a beach town. From Holly House you can walk to seafood spots, cafés and the galleries, studios and small theaters of the East Village Arts District.
Long Beach holds cultural festivals all year. Alamitos Beach and Shoreline Aquatic Park are close by for sunsets and weekend walks. The city is known for being unusually bike-friendly for Southern California, so many Downtown residents get by without a car.
