The Surf Side is a six-story cooperative built in 1969 on Long Beach’s East End, positioned directly on the oceanfront. The masonry-and-concrete midrise contains a mix of studio, junior-four, one- and two-bedroom co-op apartments arranged around elevator-served corridors. Units typically feature hardwood floors, updated kitchens with granite counters and stainless appliances in many residences, formal dining or eat-in kitchen layouts, spacious living rooms, terraces or balconies with ocean and city views, and full primary bathrooms; some units include in-apartment washer/dryer, entry foyers, ceiling fans, built-in speakers and whirlpool tubs. Common interior amenities emphasize day-to-day convenience: an elevator, lobby laundry facilities, pantry/storage areas and generous closet space. Exterior and shared facilities cater to coastal living: direct beach access, bike, beach chair and surfboard storage rooms, an oceanfront rooftop party room/clubhouse with panoramic views, and limited parking managed by a waitlist or off-site rentals. The co-op’s maintenance structure typically covers heat, water, building insurance, flood insurance, taxes and special assessments, and the pet policy allows cats while generally prohibiting dogs; rentals are restricted. The building’s location sits a few blocks from the boardwalk, nearby shopping, and easy access to Meadowbrook Parkway, supporting an active, seaside neighborhood lifestyle.
