Neighborhood Reviews & Questions
Saint Mary's is a central Long Beach neighborhood named for St. Mary Medical Center, the long-running hospital that operates in the middle of it near Linden Avenue. It is a dense, older neighborhood of bungalows, apartments, and small multi-unit buildings on a flat grid just north of downtown, and the hospital and its medical offices give the area a steady, institutional anchor. The location is central and connected, a short distance from downtown, the waterfront, the Long Beach Boulevard transit corridor, and the 710, with the everyday commerce of the surrounding avenues close at hand. The housing is older and affordable, and the area carries the density, mixed upkeep, and safety considerations common to the central city. For buyers who want an attainable, central position near a major hospital and easy access to downtown and transit, Saint Mary's is defined, like its neighbor Memorial Heights, by the medical campus at its core.
