About this home

This fully remodeled Spanish-style duplex presents a rare opportunity to acquire a high-performing, turnkey investment property in the heart of Belmont Shore. Both units are currently tenant occupied and generating strong, up-to-date rental income, offering immediate cash flow in one of Long Beach’s most sought-after coastal neighborhoods. Each unit features an identical and highly desirable floor plan with 2 bedrooms and 1.5 baths, updated kitchens and baths, formal dining rooms, kitchen nooks, inside stackable laundry, central air and heat, excellent storage, and abundant natural light. Extensive renovations throughout reduce the need for near-term repairs and upgrades, providing peace of mind for the next owner. The upstairs unit offers additional rental appeal with French doors leading to a large private rooftop deck, while the downstairs unit features a spacious private patio and a rear area providing direct access to the shared two-car garage—amenities that support strong tenant demand and long-term rent stability. Located in a prime Belmont Shore setting near shops, dining, and the beach, this duplex benefits from consistent tenant demand and proven rental performance. A rare opportunity to secure a stabilized asset with modern upgrades, attractive unit layouts, and excellent income potential in a premier coastal location.

Modest Lot Size: The 2,490 sqft lot is relatively compact for a duplex, which may limit future expansion possibilities or extensive additional outdoor amenities.
Standard Neighborhood View: While the property has a view, it is limited to the 'Neighborhood,' lacking the more premium ocean or city views often sought after in coastal Long Beach.
