Neighborhood Reviews & Questions
Addams sits in the northern reaches of Long Beach, one of a cluster of Northside pockets named for the elementary school at its center, in this case Jane Addams Elementary. It is a straightforward residential grid of mostly single-story homes built in the postwar years, when North Long Beach filled in with housing for shipyard and aircraft workers. Daily life runs on the surrounding arterials rather than any walkable core: Atlantic and Cherry Avenues carry the markets, taquerias, and errands, and the 91 and 710 freeways put the rest of the region within a quick drive. It is one of the more affordable parts of the city, and the housing stock reflects that, with block-to-block upkeep that varies more than the regional numbers suggest. What you get in return is a quiet, unpretentious neighborhood with bigger-than-expected lots for the price and easy freeway access in three directions.
