800 E Ocean Blvd

Completed in 1928, this 16-story landmark high‑rise occupies a prominent oceanfront corner in Long Beach and is nationally listed for its Châteauesque / French Gothic–inspired architecture. The exterior features ornate masonry, decorative roofline details and a verdigris copper roof that create a strong historic silhouette against the coastline. Residences are primarily two‑bedroom configurations and one‑bedroom plans adapted from original layouts; many units display period details such as hardwood floors, built‑in cabinetry, mahogany doors, French mullion windows, decorative plaster work and original tile plumbing fixtures alongside modern updates like granite or quartz counters and stainless appliances. Common interior elements include a grand lobby, ballroom with catering kitchen, elevator service, laundry facilities, secure parcel and bike storage, and abundant built‑in storage in many units. Shared outdoor amenities emphasize ocean-facing social spaces: a large sun deck with seating, barbecue areas, cabanas and panoramic views of the Pacific, marina and city skyline. The association covers utilities (including cable and internet) and maintains building systems upgraded over time, including fire sprinklers, seismic retrofits and elevator work. Parking is managed by the HOA on a lease/waitlist basis with nearby public options; guest parking and a guarded/key‑fob entry protocol provide added security. The building’s Mills Act historic designation offers substantial property tax savings and the location puts residents steps from the beach path, Pine Avenue dining, Shoreline Village, the Aquarium of the Pacific and cultural venues in downtown Long Beach.
