The Seal Beach City Council this week agreed to study the financial impact of annexing Island Village, a gated community on Long Beach's eastern border with Orange County.
The neighborhood, which is south of Second Street and east of Studebaker Road, shares much in common with Seal Beach, residents told the council. One thing not shared, at least not yet, are Seal Beach's generally higher property values.
Los Angeles County Supervisor Don Knabe reportedly supports moving the 182-home community into O.C.
Third District Councilman Gary DeLong, who represents Island Village on the Long Beach council, has said he will support his constituents' wishes.
The Orange County Register has all of the details.
