SMALL IN FOOTPRINT. BIG ON PERSONALITY. Why rent ordinary when you could own something extraordinary? Welcome to #810 at the Artaban, a charming 1922 architectural treasure in the heart of downtown Long Beach. Perched on the eighth and top floor, this enchanting studio is a little slice of vintage California cool, where historic character meets an incredible urban coastal lifestyle. The moment you step inside, your eyes are drawn to a magnificent oversized picture window framing the downtown skyline and sparkling Pacific Ocean beyond. With no neighbors above, this top-floor hideaway feels like your own private escape above the city. Original hardwood floors, beautiful wood moldings, delightful period tilework, and a vintage stove bring warmth and personality to every corner. A cozy sleeping nook and thoughtfully arranged living spaces make the most of the footprint, proving that great style doesn't require a lot of square footage. And the Artaban itself? Pure old-school glamour. A gorgeous historic lobby welcomes you with ornate architectural details, decorative tilework, and a beautiful fireplace. Head upstairs to the spectacular solarium, where sweeping skyline and ocean views create the perfect place to unwind. A lush, landscaped rear patio offers another peaceful escape, while secure entry, a pet-friendly atmosphere, and an exterior repaint currently underway add to the appeal. Here's the real game changer: HOA dues are just $266 per month and include electricity, heat, water, sewer, trash, and building insurance. Convenient parking is available across the street for approximately $140 per month. Step outside into the heart of the East Village Arts District, where indie coffee shops, galleries, neighborhood hangouts, and a creative scene give every day a little personality. Browse local art, discover your new favorite spot, or catch the neighborhood buzzing with events. When the ocean calls, grab your bike, hit the beachfront path, jog along the Pacific, or meet friends for sunset drinks and dinner on the waterfront. Downtown energy and beach-town freedom, all in one place. A little history. A lot of personality. And the chance to make something truly special your own. Why keep paying rent when you could start building your future here? Welcome HOME.
