Neighborhood Reviews & Questions
Slips is less a residential neighborhood than the network of marina waterways and boat slips in Alamitos Bay, the docks and channels that thread between Naples, the Peninsula, and the surrounding waterfront communities. The name says it plainly: this is where the boats live, a working and recreational marina landscape of moorings, fingers of dock, and the calm water that makes this corner of Long Beach a boating capital. Any housing here is the waterfront edge of the adjacent neighborhoods rather than a tract of its own, and the area's character is defined by the bay, the Duffy boats, the sailing and rowing on the water, and the marina facilities. For people in the surrounding homes, the slips are the amenity, direct access to the bay and the open ocean beyond. As a place on the map, it is water, docks, and boats, scenic and recreational rather than residential.
