This great Belmont Heights Condo has 2 large common area patios, one in the private interior of the complex and another adjacent to this unit.  Catch some rays, barbeque, read a book or enjoy the fireworks and ringside seats to Ocean Blvd parades, marathons and other events without leaving home.  None of the other owners use the large upper deck adjacent to this condo at this time, so it is like having your own. 

Just a couple of short blocks to the beach; walk down to enjoy one of our beautiful sunsets, take a walk on the beach, or bike into Downtown Long Beach on the bike path. 

This complex is comprised of 8 condominium units, built in the 1950's retro style, these units are very appealing.  Most have separate entrances and are quite private from each other. 

Many homes and condos close to the ocean, here in Long Beach, do not have air conditioning; we just don't need it most of the time.  This condo does have a wall unit air conditioner in the living room, which the seller plans to leave for the new owner.   The seller will also be leaving all window coverings. 

Have you been dreaming about moving down to the beach?  Are you craving clean ocean air?  Looking for a walk-able neighborhood?  Long Beach offers some of the friendliest, desirable and most affordable beach living in all of Southern California. 

Long Beach waterfront neighborhoods surrounding the bay:

This lovely condominium is being offered at $419,000. 

This is NOT a short sale and it is NOT bank owned, it is a conventional sale and is priced to sell.  It is the lowest priced 2 bedroom condo, with any kind of ocean view, currently on the market in the Belmont Heights and Belmont Shore neighborhoods. 

Co-listed with Wendy Rich-Soto

California Heights Cancels 2008 Annual Home and Garden Tour - Long Beach California

The California Heights Historic District has decided to cancel this years 12th annual Home and Garden Show and postpone it until October 2009. 

Few are unaffected by the events leading to the current condition of our economy, this wonderful event is no exception.  Homeowners have postponed projects that would otherwise have been completed before placing their homes on the tour.  Attendees who would normally take the tour for improvement and restoration ideas are placing home improvements on hold and are finding themselves on restricted budgets due to inflating gas and food costs as well as, in some cases, large overhead costs due to increased mortgage payments, none of which bode well for anticipated attendance. 

The event has traditionally provided funds for projects in and around the California Heights Historic District and will be sorely missed.

Long Beach Mortgage Rates Report: September 13, 2008

The mortgage backed securities market has improved dramatically since the new FHFA seized Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.  An implicit government backing of mortgage bonds became explicit with that single event.  The rate difference, or spread as we call it, between govʼt bonds and mortgage bonds, has narrowed from abnormally high margins.  This means that mortgage rates dropped as much as .375% since the govʼt takeover.  Alas, I think that party is a bit short-lived.  The exuberance appears to be a bit irrational and the reality of impending bank failures has worried the mortgage backed securities market again.    Short-term, Iʼm advising clients to lock-in these low rates and be done with it. For borrowers with a 30 day time period until closing, Iʼm advising that they lock as well.  Rates may spike up and come back down,  to these below 6% levels, but I donʼt see a great opportunity for the medium-term to improve upon todayʼs already low rates.

Sep 02 Downtown Long Beach-Belmont Shore-Parking Solutions-Long Beach California 2 comments » Long Beach Community News Long Beach Parking Solutions   Last month the Long Beach Real Estate Home Blog published an article on Downtown Long Beach Parking.  The article discussed the escalating parking problems caused by the re-development in the Downtown Long Beach area.  One of the potential parking solutions addressed was Vertical Parking.  The article went on and examined an assortment of related potential issues and raised a whole bunch of questions for which there were no immediate solutions.     Shortly after publishing this article I was contacted by the owner of Apex Skypark.  They are a Robotic Parking Solution company located right here in Anaheim.  He took the time to address the concerns and informed me that they are currently working with the City of Long Beach in an attempt to bring these solutions to the Downtown Long Beach and Belmont Shore neighborhoods.  Well, both communities can certainly use more parking - he piqued my interest.    An invitation to contribute to the Long Beach Real Estate Home Blog was extended to Apex in an effort to better explain this to Long Beach residents.  We are pleased to welcome Harold W Ashworth, a Long Beach Peninsula resident and Vice President of Apex Skypark.     By:  Harold W Ashworth   I have become intimately involved with The City of Long Beach and their Parking Issues. Working with the Long Beach Re-Development Agency has shown me just how critical parking is in the Downtown Long Beach area. As a Long Beach Resident (The Peninsula) I have experienced many of the same issues everyone else faces as they try and Park on 2nd Street in Belmont Shore for dinner in the evenings and or dinner on the waterfront at Shoreline Village. Whether it is waiting for the Valet to bring your car or running out to re-fill the meter has become quite the challenge.   That being said - The Automated Robotic Car Garages hits close to home for me as I am involved with a local company right here in our own backyard. Apex Skypark®, Inc., located in Anaheim, builds the Robotics and Systems for this new Technology - New to the USA only. Presently there are only 4-5 Garages operating in the USA but many are either under construction or they are in the design phases. We are currently working with Developers and the City of Long Beach on a couple of locations for this very thing. Long Beach will become the first on the West Coast for an Automated Robotic Garage.

Aug 30 Fun on the Naples Island Canals-Long Beach California Real Estate 1 comment » Long Beach Community News Naples Island - Long Beach California Life and Fun on the Naples Italianesque Canals Saturday afternoon, August 30, 2008   Another glorious day in Long Beach California.  Does this ever get boring?  Not!  Today I showed duplexes in Belmont Shore and Seal Beach, dropped my client off and cruised around Naples Island taking pictures on the canals.    I met 2 lovely young ladies, Sophia and Sylvia, who were sunning themselves on one of the bridges.  They were kind enough to agree to let me photograph their sunny faces, so cute!  Imagine my surprise when they asked me "Do you want to see us jump off of the bridge?"  Well, they didn't wait for an answer, they just went ahead and jumped off of the bridge!  Then dragged themselves out of the canal at a convenient dock.    The 2 adorable little river rats were having a ball.  I cracked up laughing.  Just had to get pictures of this to share. 2 little hams, didn't mind, they wanted to make sure I got them mid air.  So, here they are, mid-air...  They are looking forward to seeing their pictures here.  Girls I hope you like them.  Read more » Laurie Manny Long Beach Realtor (562) 212-5420 Main Street Realtors Belmont Heights 244 Redondo Avenue Long Beach California 90803   Long Beach Real Estate Blog Long Beach Real Estate Website   http://www.lauriemanny.com/004290 Posted on August 30, 2008 23:04:23 by Laurie.Manny
