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.
