About Cliff May Ranchos

The Cliff May Ranchos, formally Rancho Estates, are about 700 homes built in 1953 and 1954 near El Dorado Park and the San Gabriel River path. It was the largest tract of architect Cliff May's career and one of the purest examples of the California ranch house he popularized.

Housing Stock

The L-shaped homes pair rustic ranch design with floor-to-ceiling glass, built-in patios, low-pitched gabled roofs with wide overhangs, exposed-beam ceilings and redwood exteriors. Cliff May worked with Chris Choate, whose prefabricated panels made the tract possible, and developer Ross Cortese.

Lifestyle & Amenities

El Dorado Park and the San Gabriel River path are close by, and the neighborhood draws design-minded buyers from across Southern California. Long Beach Unified serves the area.

Neighborhoods & Enclaves

Original Condition

Homes that keep their mid-century features intact.

Restored Homes

Expanded Homes

What Sets the Market Apart

  • Original architectural features carry real value with design-minded buyers.
  • How faithfully a home has been restored matters as much as its size.
  • A recognized architect's tract draws buyers from well beyond Long Beach.
