A Message From The President
It is an honor to serve as President of the University Park Estates Neighborhood Association. Having previously served as Vice President, I have had the opportunity to work closely with our board and engage with city leadership through council meetings, community workshops, and regional forums. Those relationships and experiences will help the board better advocate for our neighborhood moving forward.
My goal is simple: to strengthen communication, increase involvement, and help ensure University Park Estates remains a safe, welcoming, and well-maintained community.
With over 26 years of experience in law enforcement, I understand the importance of awareness, prevention, and proactive communication. My intention is to provide thoughtful, practical information that helps reduce opportunities for crime and keeps residents informed.
UPENA is a voluntary association, and its strength comes from participation. Whether through attending meetings, volunteering, contributing ideas, or supporting neighborhood initiatives, every resident plays a role in shaping our community.
I welcome your suggestions and look forward to working together as neighbors.
Sincerely,
Denos Amarantos
President,

Preserving the Heart of University Park Estates
Deeply rooted in the mid-century charm of Long Beach, University Park Estates is more than just a collection of homes—it is a community built on shared pride and lasting connections. Since its inception, our neighborhood has been defined by its unique architectural heritage and its lush, park-like surroundings.
The Association was formed to safeguard this legacy. We dedicated our efforts to maintaining the safety and character of our streets, ensuring that every resident feels at home and every neighbor is heard. By documenting our history and celebrating our future, we cultivate a deep sense of belonging for generations to come.
To foster a safe, inclusive, and vibrant neighborhood through engagement and collective action.
