About The Hill
The Hill is a neighborhood of single-family homes just east of Coast Highway and north of Seal Beach Boulevard, a few blocks from the pier. Its original homes were built between about 1957 and 1962, and the northern edge backs up to Gum Grove Park.
Housing Stock
The original single-story ranch homes sit on lots of roughly 5,000 to 7,000 square feet, larger than most in Old Town. Many have been remodeled, added on to or replaced with two-story custom homes, some with ocean views from upstairs. Rebuilt homes and view lots set the top of the market, and originals are the entry point.
Lifestyle & Amenities
The beach, the pier and Main Street are a short bike ride or walk away, and Gum Grove Park has trails for walking and running. The Hill is in the Los Alamitos Unified School District, with McGaugh Elementary nearby.

What Sets the Market Apart
- Lots are larger than in Old Town, which makes The Hill a favorite for rebuilding.
- Second-story additions can open up ocean views, so what a lot can add is worth checking.
- Los Alamitos Unified schools and the walk to the beach bring steady family demand.
