1101 E Ocean Blvd

Villa Aqua is a low-rise, midcentury-inspired condominium complex on Ocean Boulevard in Long Beach, built in 1957 and arranged mostly as two-story buildings. Units vary from one- to two-bedroom floorplans with features that reflect both original period details and later updates: hardwood and tile floors, crown molding, recessed lighting, built-in storage, and galley or eat-in kitchens. Many residences are corner or top-floor units with large picture windows that capture abundant natural light and views toward the courtyard or pool. Common areas emphasize outdoor California living, anchored by a centrally located heated pool, outdoor lounge and barbecue area, secure gated entry, and shared laundry facilities. The association maintains low HOA dues and covers select utilities and insurance; recent property-wide upgrades reported include updated electrical and plumbing, new water heaters, resurfaced pool, and a video surveillance system. Parking is provided via private garages or assigned driveway spaces, though some garages are rented between owners. The complex sits directly across from the beach in the Alamitos Beach area and places residents within easy walking distance of downtown Long Beach attractions, dining, nightlife, bike paths, and public transit, creating a compact, coastal urban lifestyle.
