Long Beach’s Park Estates is a somewhat hidden neighborhood despite having entrances off busy Pacific Coast Highway and Bellflower Boulevard. It’s one of the most desirable neighborhoods in the city. Though it lacks the treasured waterfront vistas of Naples and the Peninsula, and the old-money elegance of Los Cerritos’ Virginia Country Club, it is a remarkably quiet and stately area dotted with some of the city’s most pricey estates.

The 671-home tract is also a museum-like collection of mid-century modern architecture with homes several levels above the now-$1-million Cliff May homes east of Studebaker in the Ranchos neighborhood. Anyone with an appreciation of the architecture of the 1950s and 1960s could easily spend hours driving along the tract’s winding streets admiring the works of the greatest mid-mod designers Paul Tay, Richard Neutra, Edward Killingsworth, Dick Poper, William Lockett and Kenneth Wing.
