Where Is The Best Place To Live If You’re A Student At Long Beach State?
What place is the best to live at if you go to Long Beach State? What is the cheapest, yet its still a nice place.
I’m looking for apartments near the campus that a student could afford…..

The “Student Affair’s” office may be able to help with this.
Anything east if Cherry Avenue in Long Beach is a relatively nice, safe area. Include Lakewood and the southern half of Bellflower in your search. Long Beach Transit serves all three areas to CSULB.

The farther north and east you go the worse the area. If you can get a place in Seal Beach, that would rock. Or Bixby Village across the street has small apts too, and they are nice. Snoop Dogg is from Long Beach, so enough said about areas to watch out for. There is no shortage of crack in the LBC….

Long Beach has a lot of really nice apartment at a good price around the university. Go to apartment.com or some other a[artmement listing.

I live in Belmont Shore, which is maybe a mile or two away from the college. Lots of college kids live here because it’s a beach community and you are walking distance from Second Street (lots of restaurants, bars, etc).
Seal Beach is cool too…quieter than Belmont Shore.
Like another poster said, I would stay west of Wardlow St and south of Cherry or Redondo (between Cherry and Redondo might be okay for some). Downtown LB isnt bad, but just east of it is. The closer you get to the 710 freeway, the worse it gets.
So the rule is, the closer to the Orange County line, the better.
