Seal Beach is a small coastal city with a big personality. Old Town Seal Beach near the pier has charming beach cottages and bungalows from the 1920s through 1960s. Leisure World (now Seal Beach Leisure World) is one of the largest retirement communities in the country with over 6,000 units built in the 1960s. The Hill area and newer developments round out the housing stock.
Coastal location means salt air corrosion on top of hard water and aging pipe issues. Old Town homes face the most aggressive salt exposure while Leisure World units have age-related plumbing needs typical of 60 year old construction.
