Wrigley

The Wrigley neighborhood of Long Beach was one of the first communities established in Long Beach. Named for William Wrigley of Wrigley chewing gum fame, this Long Beach neighborhood was first established in 1905. For those looking for affordable homes with large lots and classic architecture, Wrigley is definitely a neighborhood to check out. Wrigley features many lovely 1920s Spanish style homes along with other classic traditional homes built in the 1930s and 1940s. There is a small historic district on a portion of Eucalyptus Avenue. Developed on a gridiron street pattern, the Wrigley district lies south of the 405 Freeway, north of Pacific Coast Highway, east of the Los Angeles River and west of Long Beach Boulevard and Pacific Avenue. The neighborhood is convenient to the freeways, the Metro Train and the Wrigley Marketplace shopping center. 

The Wrigley neighborhood has an active neighborhood association: http://wrigleyassociation.org, and an active Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/wrigleylb
