Learn MoreChimney ages and weak spots in Signal Hill
Down on the lower streets you get small older houses and apartments, while redevelopment from the 1980s on added condos, townhomes and hilltop homes. Metal flues and caps on the later units wear differently from old brick, so the elevation can almost tell us the era. Marine air stays mild but damp this close to the coast, and any cracked crown tends to show as a leak between November and March. Shaking is part of the record too, since Long Beach took a major quake in 1933.
Ages on These Streets
Older houses on the lower streets and newer condos and townhomes higher up, with detached homes a minority overall.
What Wears Out First
Old mortar on lower-street stacks, and metal caps and flues on hilltop condos exposed to the damp coastal air.
