Located in historic Bluff Park, our backyard, and one of Long Beach’s most charming upscale neighborhoods, you’ll find this beautiful English Tudor Manor fourplex, the First Street Apartments.

The Location: Bluff Park District
The borders of the district run roughly from East Ocean Boulevard on the south to East Broadway on the north, and from Junipero Avenue on the west to Loma Avenue on the east. The area was named for its proximity to Bluff Park, which is a 25-acre area (100,000 square meters) south of E. Ocean Boulevard and atop the tall bluff overlooking the sandy beach of the Pacific Ocean.
Bluff Park consists mostly of single-family and multi-family houses constructed between 1903 and 1949. Located along the ocean bluffs, large two-story Craftsman Bungalows and Period Revival styles predominate with a mix of other significant architectural styles.
On July 20, 1982, it became the 2nd neighborhood to be given historic landmark status by the city. Residents of the neighborhood played a key role in the initiation of the city’s historic preservation movement. Bluff Park is frequented by joggers, strollers, and dog walkers and is an amazing place to kick back and enjoy the sun.
The Property: First Street Apartments
The 1st Street apartments are located just one block from the ocean and minutes from the vibrant Downtown Long Beach community, 2nd Street boutique shopping, abundant restaurants, and the ocean and bay water activities.
This Tudor Manor styled architecture dates back to the 1,485 to 1,558, when craftsmen built sophisticated two-toned manor homes with a combination of renaissance and gothic design elements. The revitalization of this design began in the 1890s and lasted through the 1940s and the majority of these homes are located in the northern US as their face is ideal for colder climates. This property is truly a slice of English residency.
