The 5.8k sf apartment building features two- and three-bedroom units, including a townhome unit with garage direct access. The community amenities include ample parking, including garage parking and an on-site laundry room. The property’s ideal eastside location (Walk Score: 82, “Very Walkable”) allows tenants to have close proximity to the many restaurants and shops in Traffic Circle and California State University, Long Beach, and Recreation Park.
