55 Monroe Blvd

A midcentury six-story cooperative built in 1965, this 54-unit waterfront property offers primarily one- and two-bedroom layouts with several alcove-studio conversions. The exterior presents a straightforward block form with private balconies or terraces for many residences and limited on-site garage parking available by waitlist; street and municipal permit parking are common alternatives. Units blend original and updated finishes: hardwood floors, granite counters, stainless appliances, built-in storage, walk-in closets, and practical galley or eat-in kitchens. Each level includes shared laundry rooms and trash rooms, while common areas feature a rooftop sky lounge used for gatherings, an on-site fitness room, a meeting/party room with kitchen access, and bike and surfboard storage. Building services and operating costs are consolidated in the maintenance fee, which typically covers heat, hot water, taxes, master insurance and some flood insurance. The pet-friendly policy permits dogs and cats with no restrictive small-pet rules noted. Located directly across from Long Beach’s boardwalk and Atlantic Ocean access, the property sits within easy walking distance of the LIRR, bus routes, shops and nightlife, delivering a beach-oriented, transit-friendly urban lifestyle.
