About This Home

As of October 2023

Live inside one of Long Beach’s most iconic buildings draped in French-Gothic architecture, art deco charm and sophistication topped with beach views and direct beach access from the building. This bright and warm one bedroom, one bath will feel like home the minute you enter. With two large bay windows and a peek a boo ocean view that is more view than a peek. Natural wood floors flow throughout the living room and the bedroom features newer carpet. The bedroom is spacious with a large closet, dressing area and attached bathroom. The charming kitchen has a retro style stove, an abundance of cupboard space, granite kitchen counters, with updated cabinets, and custom back-splash. The Villa Riviera is on the National Register of Historic Places & this home is one of the very few where every detail was considered in maintaining the original integrity of the era. This unit offers the HUGE tax savings of the Mills Act. (ask us for more info!) All utilities are included in the HOA fees this includes cable TV and internet. Villa Riviera is a secure community located in the desirable area of Alamitos Beach, blocks away from thriving Long Beach small business in the downtown area, top notch restaurants, nightlife, entertainment and direct access to the beach with all it has to offer. Yoga on the beach, biking, walking trail, shoreline village.... and so much more!
