Neighborhood Reviews & Questions
College Square is a small residential neighborhood in North Long Beach, a flat grid of modest single-family homes and apartments near Long Beach Boulevard. It is a quiet, unassuming part of the Northside, with daily errands handled on the nearby boulevards and quick access to the 91 and 710 freeways for getting around the region. The housing dates mostly to the mid-century build-out and sits at the more affordable end of the city's market, with upkeep that varies from block to block, as it does across much of North Long Beach. There is no signature park or retail node inside the boundary, so the neighborhood leans on its neighbors and arterials for shopping and green space. The appeal is straightforward: an attainable price and a central-Northside location with easy freeway connections.
