Condition Rating
Good
The property, built in 1953, has undergone a significant renovation 'several years ago,' making it move-in ready. The kitchen features modern black cabinets, updated countertops, a subway tile backsplash, and a unique copper sink. While the appliances are described as 'new,' they are basic white models, which detracts slightly from the otherwise modern aesthetic. The flooring and paint appear updated and clean throughout. The renovation is substantial, but the age of the building and the basic appliance package prevent it from reaching an 'Excellent' rating, fitting well within the 'Good' category for a recently updated older property.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Prime Beachside Location: Situated steps from the beach in the heart of Long Beach, offering immediate access to the ocean, Shoreline Village, and several city parks, enhancing lifestyle and potential rental appeal.
Partial Ocean View: The living room offers a partial ocean view, adding significant aesthetic value and desirability to the unit.
Modern Interior Remodel: The unit was completely remodeled several years ago, featuring updated kitchen countertops, subway tile backsplash, a copper sink, and new appliances, providing a clean and contemporary living space.
In-Unit Laundry Hookups: The convenience of washer/dryer hookups within the unit is a significant advantage, especially for a 1-bedroom condominium.
Affordable City Parking Solution: Despite lacking a private garage, the availability of extremely affordable overnight parking through the City of Long Beach ($336 annually) mitigates a common urban challenge.
Cons
Lack of Dedicated Parking: The unit does not include a private garage or dedicated parking space, which can be a significant drawback for many buyers despite the city permit option.
Compact Living Space: At 649 square feet, the 1-bedroom unit offers a relatively small living area, which may feel restrictive for some occupants or limit future expansion possibilities.
Monthly Association Fee & Building Age: The $335 monthly association fee adds to recurring costs, and the building's 1953 construction year could imply potential future maintenance concerns for the HOA, impacting long-term expenses.
