Homes in Bixby Knolls
Custom homes from the interwar years make up much of the neighborhood, in Spanish Colonial Revival, Tudor Revival, Craftsman and other period styles, with occasional modernist designs. Los Cerritos, around Virginia Country Club, holds estate-sized homes, including work by Kirtland Cutter and by Greene and Greene, and La Linda Drive forms one of its gated sections. Some originals have been replaced with larger houses.
What moves value in Bixby Knolls
Golf-course frontage, lot size and architectural pedigree create a wide spread between the estate streets near Virginia Country Club and the more conventional blocks to the north and east. Walkable Atlantic Avenue, the A Line along Long Beach Boulevard and quick 405 and 710 access support demand.

Appraisal considerations in Bixby Knolls
Architect-designed and historically significant homes are matched on quality and design rather than square footage alone, and the architect is named when records confirm it. Because estate-level sales near the country club are infrequent, the report states how far back and how wide the search went, and proximity to Long Beach Airport, the 405 and Atlantic Avenue frontage is weighed with sales in similar positions.
How are Virginia Country Club estate homes valued when few similar sales occur each year?
We lengthen the time window first, adjusting older Los Cerritos sales for market change, then add carefully chosen custom-home sales from comparable Long Beach enclaves. Lot size, golf-course frontage and architectural significance are documented so each adjustment can be followed.
