We help property owners throughout all of Long Beach and nearby cities such as Lakewood and Huntington Beach, but there is one zip code that we consistently get asked about by tenants and property owners alike and that is the 90808 zip code.
Read on to find out more about what makes the 90808 zip code one of the most popular zip codes in all of Long Beach.
Parks and the Outdoors
When you are in Southern California you want to be able to enjoy the outdoors as much as possible. While the beach is never far away when you live in Long Beach, sometimes you just want to stretch your legs a bit nearby home. One of the reasons the 90808 zip code is popular for both rentals and homeownership is due to the great selection of parks we have readily available.
- Heartwell Park - Heartwell Park is probably best known for the 5.1 mile loop trail that runs along Carson St. The park has much more to offer but on any given day you will find cyclists, walkers, and joggers enjoying the nice trail to take advantage of the great outdoors.
- El Dorado Park West - At 272.5 acres in size it is hard to find what can’t be done in this park. From a full golf course, volleyball courts, softball fields, tennis courts and much more this is one of the most popular parks throughout Long Beach and those in the 90808 get the quickest access with the close proximity to their homes.
Schools
One of the main reasons rentals (and primary residences) are so popular in the 90808 zip code is the
quality of schools
at each level of education. From elementary, middle school, and high school you will find that the schools are in the top 20% or even top 10% for California. Having a strong school system in this local area can mean that renters with children may stay for longer rental periods to capitalize on the great education opportunity.
Single Family Home Sizes
We have found that single family homes are consistently one of the most attractive types of properties for rentals. In the 90808 zip code you will typically find 3 bedrooms and 2 bathroom homes that are over 1,100+ sq ft. This configuration is popular and makes it attractive to a wide variety of renters.
There are smaller home floor plans as well, both 2 bedrooms/1 bathroom options and even 3 bedrooms/1 bathroom. These smaller floor plans still are in high demand due to great schools, parks, and the proximity to the freeway. When you are looking for an
investment property
in the 90808 these smaller floor plans can be great long term opportunities as they can be expanded to the most popular 3 bedrooms/2 bathroom option.
