Bluff Park Historic District
The Bluff Park Historic District is a small residential neighborhood located in the City of Long Beach, California.
On July 20, 1982, it became the 2nd neighborhood to be given historic landmark status by the city. Residents of the neighborhood played a key role in the initiation of the city’s historic preservation movement.
The borders of the District run roughly from E. Ocean Boulevard on the south to E. Broadway on the north, and from Junipero Avenue on the west to Loma Avenue on the east.
It consists of mostly of stately single-family and multi-family houses constructed between 1903 and 1949. Located along the ocean bluffs, large two-story Craftsman Bungalows and Period Revival styles predominate with a mix of other significant architectural styles.
The area was named for its proximity to the Bluff Park, which is a 25 acre (100,000 square meter) south of E. Ocean Boulevard and atop the tall bluff overlooking the sandy beach of the Pacific Ocean. A replica of the Lone Sailor Statue resides in the park as a tribute to Long Beach’s naval history.
