Coastal corrosion
Undercarriage, brake lines and suspension components corrode faster near the water. Worth looking at closely on any car that has lived here.

Local Context
Buying in Long Beach.
Long Beach sits on the water, and salt air is unkind to vehicles. It is also a port city with a heavy concentration of work trucks and vans, and a steady supply of vehicles coming off commercial use before being resold privately.
What I Watch For
Common issues in this area.
Ex-commercial vehicles
Trucks and vans sold out of business fleets can be well maintained or thoroughly used up. The service history matters more than the mileage.
Port-area wear
Heavy stop-start traffic around the port is hard on transmissions, brakes and clutches.
