This oil rich city is completely surrounded by Long Beach, but has made its mark by being an economically progressive entity. Although, oil is its trademark, the city has transitioned, by attracting numerous businesses, and also, residential developments which take advantage of the incredible views the city has to offer. Beautiful gated communities and luxurious townhomes now occupy land where oil derricks once existed. Residents can enjoy city sponsored activities and events, and Summer Concerts in the Park. Award winning Long Beach Unified School District services Signal Hill.
