More About Seal Beach

Seal Beach, you hear about it a lot on the news, in movies, and in luxury circles but where exactly is Seal Beach and what is it like to live here? Seal Beach is located between Sunset Beach and Belmont shore just southeast of Long Beach California and home to about 25,000 residents. It's located in the westernmost corner of Orange County just across the border with Los Angeles County and adjacent to San Pedro Bay.

Seal Beach got its start back in the 1860s in the eastern area of what is now called Old Town. This was a small wharf and warehouse area established by farmers and merchants who wanted a closer, more convenient port to ship wine and other agricultural supplies. Over the years, it slowly grew and not only is it a popular port, it's an avid surfing community as well. Servers date back to the early 1900s when the town hosted the mainland's first surfing competition. Today, surfers still find their way to Seal Beach for some of the best ways in California.

Seal Beach has been noted as the #1 best suburbs to buy a house in the state of California. That's quite a feat. It receives excellent scores for its public schools, affordable housing, family life, low crime, excellent nightlife and diversity. It's median home value is about $358,000 and 76% of Seal Beach residents own their own homes. But, rent isn't astronomical either with a median rent of about $1800.

This small, quaint city on the border of Orange county has been ranked as one of the best places to live in the Los Angeles and Long Beach area. But don't take my word for it, here's what others say about living in Seal Beach.

"Seal Beach is a small, quaint city on the border of Orange County and Los Angeles, and it is my absolute favorite place to live thus far! The people here are incredibly friendly and inviting, the Main Street restaurants and shops are local and crime is almost non-existent. There are several delicious restaurants to try on Main Street Seal Beach as well as off of Pacific Coast Highway. I always feel so welcomed and happy no matter where I step foot in this city. In addition, there are many families that live here, which makes it a wonderful place to raise kids. I would like to see more community events throughout the year. I think that adding more events in Seal Beach would bring us all closer together. Other than that, this city should be more on the map! It's been life changing living here, and I cannot wait to see how Seal Beach grows!" - Niche.com
