HOLLYWOOD LOVES LONG BEACH

American Pie, Ferris Buellers Day Off, Red Dragon, Donnie Darko and Not A Teen Movie were all filmed in Long Beach California.

This lovely 'American Pie' Manse located at 4153 Cedar Drive, Long Beach, California was home to 'Jim' and his family.  It is the same house where Jim broadcast Nadia over the Internet while the entire school and neighborhood watched.  This is a beautiful community that has very large homes and mansions on extra large lots with decadently wide-tree lined streets, many backing to the 18 hole  Virginia Golf Course.  The Virginia Country Club community, lined with highly desirable estates, is adjacent to Bixby Knolls and the fabulous Historic District of California Heights, all of which contain extremely sought after properties.  These areas are about 2 miles inland from the beach.

Second Street in Long Beach California, connecting Naples Island back with the Long Beach mainland.  It is here that the American Pie 2 boys are depicted going on vacation to the lake in the fictional Grand Harbor, Michigan.  They actually took the short cruise, across Alamitos Bay, through the Orange Curtain as we call it here (the Orange County Line) to the wonderful beach town of Seal Beach, California where they had a grand old time on Main Street in Seal Beach.  Seal beach is home to multi-million dollar homes on the sand, many lovely beach cottages and a multitude of very nice 55+ condominium complexes that are senior friendly and a short walk to the beach.  Seal Beach is an upscale and bohemian beach community.
