Historic Character, Elevated Views & a Rare Opportunity: Bring your vision to this high, 11th-floor studio in the iconic Beaux-Arts style Cooper Arms Building, where more than a century of Long Beach history meets an exceptional Downtown location. Be the next prestigious owner to enjoy one of the first structures to be designated a Long Beach Historical Landmark in 1980 and later being added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2000. Sunlight, elevated outlooks, and a private balcony create an airy right-sized retreat above the city, with views toward the Long Beach Marina, Queen Mary, Palos Verdes Hill and the comforting grassy courtyard below. The residence is move-in ready or thoughtful improvements and cosmetic updates—an inviting opportunity to restore its character, tailor the space to your style, and unlock its full potential. Inside, the open studio layout offers flexible living and sleeping options, generous storage, a separate kitchen and bath, and classic details that provide a strong foundation for a creative refresh. Beyond the front door, the landmark 1924 building offers controlled-access, on-site property management, a gracious Grand Entry Salon, a landscaped courtyard with barbecue & picnic area, secure package lockers, community laundry in the basement and bicycle storage area, plus a celebrated top-floor Solarium and recreation space with sweeping panoramic views where residents can enjoy billiards, Wi-Fi, and breathtaking panoramic views. Step outside and experience the best of bike-friendly coastal city living: the beach, East Village Arts District, Ocean Boulevard, Pine Avenue, Shoreline Village, Rainbow Harbor, the Convention Center, Terrace Theater, Aquarium of the Pacific, dining, vibrant nightlife, and mass transit are all close at hand. The condo has also provided a steady source of rental income in the recent past, adding an established investment dimension to its appeal; prospective buyers should independently review rental records, HOA rules, local regulations, and future income potential. Whether envisioned as a primary retreat, weekend escape, income-property opportunity, or renovation project, this is a distinctive chance to own a high-floor residence in one of Long Beach’s most recognizable historic addresses. Available Parking options in the nearby area. This property is offered in its present as-is condition.
