I have lived in Newport for 2 years and have been living in Long beach for 5 years now.
I liked living in Newport, but overall the people are stuffy and kind of rude. The police have nothing better to do than harass people for minor traffic violations (got a ticket for turning my turn signal on and changing lanes to quickly).
Pros for Newport - Clean, beautiful beaches, lots of stuff to do.
Cons- Rude people, VERY expensive to do anything, no parking, all new development track homes packed really, really close together
LB
pros - Reasonable prices, beautiful homes, a sense of history, nice real people
cons - some neighborhoods not the nicest, North Long beach
Perfect solution is.........................Belmont Heights!
Has the Newport feel and is a lot less expensive and boarders long beach. I would look into moving to Belmont Heights or Belmont Shores.
Best of luck!!

Newport Beach To Long Beach

Christoper (above me), has no idea what he's talking about...
Long beach does have some great place, I will agree with that, but there are many places in long beach that are not the safest! Also long beach has many places that are on the cheaper side for living, that's if you're okay with living in a neighborhood, that's not the safest. And most places in Longbeach don't have parking, meaning you have to park on the street, and pray your car doesn't get broken into.
Newport beach, is clean and very pricey. The crime rate is low, there is lots to do, however the rent is very very high.
The two city, are apples to oranges.

The last time I went to Long beach it was really really ugly (and forget about trying to swim in the ocean!!), but that was a while back. I think they may have spruced it up since then. Knowing what I know (limited), I would still choose newport beach.

I live in So Cal. If you like snobs and are filthy rich, Newport Beach. If you like more normal people and a little less expense, Long Beach. Nothing is cheap here,though.

i will do my best to keep it between newport and long beach with an ocean view, like you asked... 1. mastro's ocean club. PCH just south of corona del mar 2. chart house. PCH in NB (harbor view, not an ocean view) 3. billy's. PCH in NB (right next to chart house) 4. spark woodfire grill. PCH/main st in HB (pier/ocean view) 5. dukes. PCH in HB/main st (right on the beach) not too familiar with long beach. here are some other notes: 1. las brisas in laguna has a nice view but the food is just okay. it's not even between NB or LB anyway... 2. if laguna is okay, then try hush restaurant on PCH. not an ocean view, but still close to the ocean nonetheless. you can walk there. 3. the bungalow on PCH in newport is great. not an ocean view, but fairly close to it.

If you have BIG bucks in your bank account, then Newport Beach without a doubt. If you are middle class or less, then Long Beach is your place.

Brandi, you aren't from around here, are you?
Seriously, some people (like Christopher) shouldn't be allowed near a keyboard. Somebody might actually believe the junk he types.
The answer to your question can be summed up using analogies:
Newport Beach compared to Long Beach is like:
2007 Mercedes E-Class vs. 1966 Chevy Nova
Creme brulee vs. Tastee Freeze vanilla cone
Filet Mignon vs. McDonald's cheeseburger
Got the picture? Not that there's anything wrong with the latter... In fact, I used to take my '66 Nova down to McDonald's, then to Tastee Freeze for dessert. But you asked for comparisons.
Here's another: There are a lot of African Americans in Long Beach (especially the northern part), but Kobe Bryant, NBA star, lives in Newport Beach.
Check out rent.com, apartments.com, and craigslist.org for comparison prices. I'm guessing NB is at least twice as much as LB.
Good luck!

depending on how much you are willing to spend. if you have money and want a nice appartment newport beach is yours. It is posh and def fulfills the stereotypes.
Long beach is cheaper but you have to be safer there. it does have a reputation

I live in L.A at the Beverly hills hotel and bungalows, and go to long beach every weekend its much nicer and also lots to do
and see. And the prices are great too. But also some of the highways to get to long beach are kinda scary. And long beach is really safe but like all places you need to watch out!!
And the cost of living seems prity good to me but i prefer my hotel I've been living there for 1 year and wouldn't leave but if i did i would go to long beach for sure!! go on houses for sale in l.a and you will get lots of good results!! Also if your renting put the same thing except put for rent!!!
