This studio apartment is in a quiet, small complex of 12 units on two properties. Vacancies are rare and summer vacancies are in high demand. The coastal property features an almost year round breeze, cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter. Belmont Shore is a mixed-use community featuring multimillion dollar homes along side reasonably priced condos and apartments. Families, couples, and singles live side by side in a lively community, filled with interesting things to explore. A free shuttle service, bike trails and walking routes connect Belmont Shore, Naples Island, and Mall shops, restaurants and gyms. Beach opportunities include ocean and bay beaches with scenic walking trails connecting them all. Bus lines run directly to CSULB for even more opportunities and bike lanes are creating a web of trails that stretch in all directions. Is Long Beach a good beach?
