Tucked into the heart of East Long Beach, The Plaza is a welcoming residential neighborhood known for its quiet streets, strong community spirit, and timeless mid-century charm. Developed in the post–World War II era, homes here were primarily built in the late 1940s through the 1950s—giving the neighborhood a classic Southern California feel that continues to attract new generations of homeowners.
With easy access to freeways, top-rated schools, and open green space, The Plaza strikes the perfect balance between everyday convenience and a strong sense of community.

The Plaza offers a relaxed, residential lifestyle with a deep sense of pride and connection. Residents take evening walks beneath mature trees, host backyard barbecues, and wave to neighbors from their driveways. It’s the kind of place where people stay for decades, putting down roots in a neighborhood that values community.
Most homes here are single-story ranch or mid-century properties—solidly built, well-maintained, and perfect for those who want space to grow, entertain, or simply enjoy life at a slower pace. With Long Beach Exchange, Cal State Long Beach, and the coastline all nearby, The Plaza offers both serenity and accessibility.
Spanning more than 600 acres, El Dorado Regional Park is the heartbeat of the neighborhood. Whether you're casting a line at one of its fishing lakes, biking along shaded trails, or picnicking under towering trees, this beloved park is a daily destination for many Plaza residents.
El Dorado isn’t just a place to play—it’s a place to connect. With archery ranges, a nature center, playgrounds, golf, and family-friendly events, it brings the community together and anchors The Plaza’s commitment to outdoor living.
