Linden Ave, Bixby Knolls

Linden has an awesome shopping area in the East Village Arts District. Every second saturday they have an art walk, and every saturday there is a farmer's market. There are specialty shops in the area as well, plus some super cool bars. it's a fun place to hang out, day or night. It's really safe and well lit too.

Linden is one of those streets that are awesome on one side and terrible on the other. It doesn't make too much sense, but there it is. There are several amenities near or on Linden, but as in most of Long Beach, the parking is a nightmare. Since you are quite near the transit mall, if homeless people bother you, this area of Long Beach may not be for you.
