939 E Appleton St

A low-rise, midcentury courtyard complex built in 1962, this single-story property (with some two-level units) arranges roughly two dozen condominiums around a landscaped central courtyard anchored by a decorative water feature and pond. The masonry-and-stucco exterior and modest gated entry reflect the era; unit types range from one-bedroom flats to two-bedroom corner homes and occasional upper-level end units with balconies. Interiors commonly present open living/dining plans, modestly updated kitchens, built-in storage, ceiling fans, and primary suites; finished details vary by ownership, from original period finishes to modern laminate or hardwood floors and renovated baths. Shared building elements emphasize relaxed outdoor living: garden pathways, roses and mature trees, and a focal fountain that frames many living-room and balcony views. Practical amenities include assigned or detached single-car garages (some with overhead storage), on-site community laundry and low HOA dues that typically cover water, trash, and landscaping. Parking layouts mix private garages and limited guest spaces; pet policies and management services vary by unit. Situated in the Alamitos Beach/East Village area of Long Beach, the complex is walkable to restaurants, galleries, nightlife, parks, the marina and sandy beaches, offering a neighborhood-oriented, beach-proximate lifestyle rather than high-rise urban living.
