Los Altos homes and real estate (zip code 90815) are located in the east side of Long Beach, a popular area built up in the early 1950's. This area attracts families with children because many parks, elementary schools and middle schools are within walking distance and have excellent educational reputations. It is bordered by the Los Altos Shopping Center and California State University (CSU) at Long Beach and is an ideal location for commuters because of its close 405 Freeway access.

Attractive neighborhood parks such as Whaley Park are bordered by single family homes and treelined streets.

Currently  there are many single family homes listed in the broad 90815 zip code area of Los Altos, Stratford Square, the Plaza, and Artcraft Manor and College Park/University Park Estates, La Marina, and much more in the broader area of east Long Beach.
