GREAT CITY FOR . . .

Architecture. Whatever your architectural preference, you're likely to find it somewhere in Long Beach. From Victorian mansions resembling wedding cakes to breathtaking Spanish Revival homes, there isn't a style that isn't represented. California craftsman homes, clapboard cottages, beach bungalows, Art Deco duplexes, and mid-century abodes – they're all here. Among the city's architectural treasures is the Villa Riviera, a 1929 French gothic masterpiece flanked with a fleet of gargoyles.
