Pros & Cons

Comprehensive Building Amenities: The iconic International Tower provides 24-hour concierge and security, a spacious lobby, conference room, community room, and a recently upgraded fitness center, enhancing resident lifestyle and convenience.
Iconic Building Status: Residing in the iconic 'round building' of the International Tower offers a unique architectural appeal and a recognized address in Long Beach.
Cons
High Association Fee: The monthly association fee of $1122.01 is substantial and will significantly impact the overall cost of ownership, potentially limiting buyer pool and long-term affordability.
Building Age: Built in 1965, the building is nearly 60 years old. While the unit is upgraded, an older building can present potential for future special assessments for major structural or system repairs, despite current amenities upgrades.
Temporary Amenity Unavailability: The outdoor pool is currently being upgraded, meaning a key recreational amenity is temporarily unavailable to residents, which could be an inconvenience for new owners.
