If you have been watching the Long Beach market and waiting for the right moment to buy or invest in Wrigley — this is a post worth reading before the weekend.

I have a new listing hitting the market this week at 2241 Pine Avenue in the Wrigley neighborhood of Long Beach. It is a 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom single family home priced at $575,000 — updated, move-in ready, and priced right for where this neighborhood is headed.

Let me give you the full picture, because the home is just part of the story.

What is happening in the Wrigley market right now

Wrigley has quietly become one of the most compelling neighborhoods in Long Beach for buyers and investors who are paying attention. After some softening in late 2024 and into early 2025, the broader Long Beach market has turned a corner. The citywide median hit $825,000 in February 2026 — up 6.4 percent year over year. Wrigley is not just keeping pace. It is leading in some key metrics.

A 35 percent jump in price per square foot year over year is not a rounding error. It reflects real demand compression — buyers who have been priced out of Bixby Knolls, Belmont Heights, and the coastal neighborhoods are discovering Wrigley, and they are moving quickly when they find the right home. South Wrigley in particular is averaging just 28 to 32 days on market. That is a fast-moving sub-market.

The homes that are selling quickly share a common thread: they are updated and move-in ready. Buyers in this price range are not looking to take on a renovation. They want to walk in and start living — or in the case of investors, start renting. That is exactly what 2241 Pine Avenue delivers.

Why this listing makes sense for an investor

At $575,000, this home sits at an attainable entry point in a neighborhood with demonstrated upward momentum. Single family homes in this zip code have been trading between $650,000 and $850,000 depending on size, condition, and block — which means a turnkey 2-bedroom at $575,000 represents real value relative to the market. The home has been freshly updated: new kitchen, updated bathroom, new flooring, and fresh paint throughout. There is no deferred maintenance to absorb into your numbers. You are buying a clean asset in a rising market.

California's ADU laws also make Wrigley lots particularly interesting for long-term investors. Many properties in this neighborhood sit on lots large enough to support an accessory dwelling unit — which can transform the income profile of a single family home significantly. I work through this analysis with buyers on specific properties regularly, and I am happy to walk through it on this one.

A note on this community

This past weekend, my team hosted our first annual Easter Egg Hunt right here in Long Beach — one thousand eggs, two age groups, and hundreds of families coming together at Marina Vista Park. It was our first year and it will not be our last. I share that because it speaks to why I have spent my entire career selling homes in this city. Long Beach is not just a market to me. It is home. And Wrigley is one of the neighborhoods that reminds me why Long Beach's community culture is genuinely unlike anywhere else in Southern California.

Ready to see it?

If you are an investor, a first-time buyer, or anyone who has been watching Wrigley and waiting for the right opportunity — I would love to show you this home. Reach out directly and I will get you in.
