Mid Century Modern Long Beach vs. Hancock Park

Hancock Park Home Courtesy of LA Times

Mid-Century modern homes aren't just popular in Long Beach. As you may know within the Rancho tract of homes there is a popular mid-century modern series of homes that was designed by Cliff May.

On July 11th, the La Times featured a wonderful mid-century modern home that has recently been listed in Hancock park. Being listed at $2.6million it goes for a bit more than here in Long Beach but the same features exist none the less. The home, though large embodies some of what draws many people to these homes.



  • Light - With often floor to ceiling windows the homes feel bright and truly welcome in the out doors. You don't shield yourself from the southern california weather, you embrace it!

  • Indoor/Outdoor Living - The home in Hancock park, as well as the Cliff May homes here, are often centered around a pool or other outdoor space. It helps to blur the lines of inside and out.

  • Embracing History - You will find that many owners have gone to great lengths to find period fixtures and even period furniture. It's hard to find, but it truly makes the homes come to life.

Finding your mid-century modern home in Long Beach can be a fun experience. The Cliff May neighborhood in the Rancho area has limited inventory so keep a careful watch to find the home that is right for you.
