Neighborhood Reviews & Questions
Renaissance Square is a central neighborhood just inland from downtown Long Beach, part of the band of older, denser blocks that connect the city center to the central avenues. It is a mixed, urban area of bungalows, apartments, and small commercial buildings, with the redevelopment-era name reflecting the city's long effort to reinvest in this part of town. The location is genuinely central: downtown, the waterfront, the 710, and the Long Beach Boulevard transit corridor are all close, which makes it easy to get around without a long commute. The housing is older and affordable, and like much of the central city, the character shifts block to block with the upkeep that comes with an urban, mostly renter neighborhood. There is limited green space inside the boundary. The appeal is an affordable, transit-rich, downtown-adjacent position for buyers who value central location over a suburban setting.
