ZIP 90813 covers Central Long Beach, roughly bounded by the 710 freeway to the west, Alamitos Avenue to the east, Willow Street to the north, and Ocean Boulevard to the south. It includes some of Long Beach’s oldest residential streets — blocks of Lime Avenue, Lemon Avenue, Magnolia Avenue, and the named-street grid that predates the city’s postwar expansion. Many of the residential buildings in 90813 were constructed before 1930 and have never been substantially renovated. The 77% renter-occupancy rate is the highest of any ZIP in Long Beach.
Cash buyer activity in 90813 is driven by the intersection of old housing, high renter density, and active code enforcement. City code violations in 90813 range from deferred exterior maintenance to structural issues in older buildings to unpermitted work that has accumulated over decades. Properties with open violations cannot be financed conventionally, which means only cash buyers can purchase them. Multi-family properties in 90813 — duplexes, triplexes, and small apartment buildings — are the most common type we purchase here, often with multiple tenants in place.
Jay Buys Houses has purchased multiple 90813 properties, including buildings that were actively cited by Long Beach code enforcement. We understand which violations require immediate remediation and which can be managed post-close, we know how to read city inspection reports, and we have contractor relationships that can address code issues efficiently after we take ownership. Sellers don’t need to resolve violations before our purchase.
One important 90813 factor: the ZIP has a very wide price range for residential property, driven by the variety of property types and conditions. A well-maintained triplex on a quiet block of Magnolia Avenue compares very differently from a code-violated single-family home on an adjacent block with commercial adjacency. We assess each property individually and never apply a blanket 90813 discount.
