Long Beach is one of the great secrets of Southern California- a city on the ocean with wonderful eclectic neighborhoods and amazingly friendly people. Nestled about a third of a mile from the water sits East Mariquita Street, a hidden little avenue about two blocks long. Mariquita includes a variety of grown trees, California bungalows built in the 1920s, classic Spanish homes with red tiled roofs, and smaller apartment buildings. From here you can walk or ride a bike a little over a mile east to Belmont Shore, the trendiest shopping and dining area in Long Beach. Or walk south a few blocks to the beautiful classic Long Beach Museum of Art at the edge of the Pacific Ocean. Dine and have drinks on the patio overlooking the water at Claire’s Restaurant, with unobstructed views of Catalina Island and the Queen Mary and Chef Michael Ryan’s many fresh creations. Tucked In the middle of Mariquita Street in this smaller mid-century condominium building, we now offer a sunny one bedroom top floor corner unit. Bright living room and adjoining dining area with a large dual pane window that overlooks this quaint neighborhood. Also features a spacious bedroom with a wall to wall closet, and lots of extra storage in the hall. Would make a valuable rental property investment near the ocean as well.
