About Student Housing in Long Beach
Long Beach is California's seventh-largest city, stretching along twelve miles of Pacific coastline south of Los Angeles. It is a port city with a dense downtown, distinct residential neighborhoods, and a strong arts and dining culture that extends well beyond the student population. The Long Beach waterfront and the historic Belmont Shore strip on Second Street give the city a texture that most California university towns lack. Metro A Line light rail provides a direct connection to Los Angeles for students who need it, and Long Beach Transit buses link most student neighborhoods to campus and downtown. The city's diversity, walkable pockets, and year-round mild climate make it a genuinely livable place to spend four years.
Best Neighborhoods for Students in Long Beach
Belmont Shore
The neighborhood anchored by Second Street between the ocean and Alamitos Bay combines walkable dining and retail with proximity to the beach. It is one of the most desirable addresses for CSULB students who can afford slightly higher rents.
University District
The streets immediately adjacent to campus hold the highest concentration of student housing in Long Beach. Rents are moderate, walkability to class is excellent, and turnover is high enough that units appear regularly.
Bixby Knolls
A quieter residential area north of campus along Atlantic Avenue, Bixby Knolls appeals to students who want more space and a neighborhood feel at rents below the beachside options.
