Downtown has recently experienced a renaissance. Pine Avenue has become a great urban center. By day, the alluring aroma of fresh-brewed cappuccino combines with a feeling of urban energy and business excitement. Pedestrian-friendly Pine Avenue has maintained its rich history as landmark art deco buildings have been reborn, becoming home to unique urban residences, studio lofts, outdoor cafes, outstanding restaurants, trendy nightclubs, art galleries and shops. By night, nightclubs are plentiful with something for every taste including jazz, blues, disco and pop.
Long Beach's emerging arts community has made its home in the East Village, formally the East Village Arts District. Art shops and trendy live/work spaces inhabit the area, creating an eclectic mix of popular retreats for resident artists and visitors alike.
Home to the majority of Downtown residents, the North Pine District offers an alternative residential style. In close proximity to Pine Avenue, visitors and residents alike can enjoy the convenience of the newly opened CityPlace, an open-air urban retail center featuring stores such as Nordstrom Rack, Ross, Walmart, Anna's Linens and much more.
