The generously sized second and third bedrooms, side-by-side laundry and guest bath are all off the front hall. Best of all, there is only one common interior wall. The 1500 Ocean Building offers a resort-style atmosphere, with lovely heated pool, spa, gym, and even a beautiful clubhouse.

This lovely community has a highly desirable location that’s directly on the sand with easy beach access! Talk about a great location! You’re in close proximity to the downtown urban vibe and lifestyle, with the business district, the Long Beach Performing arts center and theaters, fine dining, the Pike, Rainbow Harbor, the Aquarium and more. And you’re also close to Belmont Shore, with its fun and eclectic Second Street’s trendy shops, great dining, entertainment and nightlife.
