The five highest-priced home sales reported in Long Beach–Gateway Cities, California for the week ending November 8, 2026 came to a combined $10.99 million. Four of the homes are in Long Beach, in Belmont Heights, Bixby Knolls and the Los Cerritos Area, and one is in La Habra Heights.
All five are single-family homes, built between 1935 and 1980, and several have been extensively renovated while keeping the character of their original designs.
No. 1 — $3,600,000 · 293 Saint Joseph Ave, Long Beach, California
The top sale of the week was a home on Saint Joseph Avenue, set on a hilltop lot in the Estates Section of Belmont Heights, that sold for $3,600,000. Built in 1935, it was rebuilt from the studs and enlarged in 2008, taking its cues from the Italian and Spanish Revival architecture of the 1920s and 1930s. The kitchen and the primary bath have been remodeled more recently.
The materials carry the design. Reclaimed Tuscan tiles cover the roof. Inside are mahogany millwork, hand-built cabinetry, Italian Noce travertine, terra-cotta and hand-cut Moroccan marble mosaics. Every wall, inside and out, was laser-leveled and then plastered by hand. Outside, copper appears in the lighting, gutters and vent trim, alongside custom wrought iron and old-world gates.
The home has four bedrooms, two full and two half baths and 3,732 square feet on two stories, plus a finished basement. Wood-burning fireplaces warm the living room, the family room and the primary suite, which has its own den, a bath with glass tile from floor to ceiling and a custom walk-in closet.
A heated, arched loggia built for dining in any season opens to the backyard, where an infinity spa spills into a saltwater pool with a sun ledge. There is also a firepit and a fourth fireplace outdoors. Raised gardens and dense planting wrap the 6,347-square-foot lot from front to back. The home is a short walk from the beach, boating, restaurants and the farmers market. The property last sold for $1.1 million in 2003.
The home went under contract 29 days after it was listed. Michael Roland of Coldwell Banker Realty was the listing agent, and Christina Hawkins, also of Coldwell Banker Realty, represented the buyer.

There are three bedrooms and four bathrooms in 2,535 square feet on two stories, with the primary suite on the main floor, a formal dining room and a fireplace in the living room.

Behind the gates of La Linda Drive, in the Los Cerritos Area of Long Beach, stand 33 custom homes. The one at No. 42, a Hollywood Regency design from 1975, sold for $1,710,000.
Its centerpiece is the formal living room, a sunken space roughly 30 feet long and 23 feet wide under a 20-foot ceiling. A large fireplace and four arch-topped windows frame the room, the floor is limestone, and a pair of antique crystal chandeliers came from the Breakers Hotel in Long Beach. Visitors arrive through a 10-foot entry door beside an original gas lantern.
The renovated kitchen keeps its original St Charles cabinets and adds Bahia Blue granite counters and a La Cornue range, under a pine ceiling with a mahogany stain. A butler’s pantry is next to it.
