Built in 1958, this unit retains most of its original mid-century features. The kitchen and bathroom are significantly dated (30+ years) with worn cabinetry, laminate counters, and old fixtures. While the building has seen common area upgrades, the unit itself requires a full interior rehab to address the aging systems and finishes.
Boasting a Walk Score of 97, this property is situated just one block from the ocean in Downtown Long Beach, offering immediate access to top-tier dining, entertainment, and beaches.
The property qualifies for significant financial incentives, including potential $20,000 down payment assistance and special financing, making it an exceptionally attractive entry-level or investment opportunity.
Residents benefit from recent capital improvements including updated elevators, new interior flooring, enhanced security, and a private storage room, ensuring a well-maintained community environment.
On-site parking is currently subject to a waitlist, necessitating an additional monthly expense and the inconvenience of utilizing nearby off-site parking options.
