Seal Beach

The city is well known as a quaint, small town with a traditional coastal city vibe. City programs, non-profit groups and businesses provide a variety of services, exciting events and activities in which residents can participate and enjoy. The Naval Weapons Station makes up about two-thirds of the city’s landmass, with the remainder comprised of a group of neighborhoods. One of the largest neighborhoods is Leisure World, the first planned retirement community, which is home to about one-third of Seal Beach’s population. Additionally you’ll find neighborhoods like Old Town, with its quaint all-American Main Street lined with shops and restaurants; Surfside, the southernmost neighborhood in Seal Beach, the quintessential gated resort community complete with beach access and its own designated post office; and The Hill neighborhood with its consummate suburban-niche-feel that features large residential lots, children at play, and more than enough parking. Also, College Park East and College Park West offer suburban, family-friendly living with sprawling, well-kept homes, and numerous parks, including the celebrated Arbor dog park. Every neighborhood has its own charm and adds to the overall appeal of living in Seal Beach.
