The stunning Villa Riviera has defined Ocean Boulevard in Long Beach since 1929. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the lavish winged French Gothic building with its green-patinaed copper roof soars above the city and Pacific Ocean beyond. Architect Richard D. King was internationally recognized for his advanced seismic design set above sand and sea level on solid ground, its sturdy steel frame held by triple layers of earthquake-resistant rivets and covered in  thick poured concrete. This fourth-floor condo with a glittering Ocean Boulevard view retains many original features, including hardwood floors; kitchen cabinets offsetting a new refrigerator, dishwasher, and four-burner gas stove; and original tile bath with city vistas. HOA fee covers almost ALL UTILITIES (gas, electricity, cable, water, heat, and basic internet). MILLS ACT for historical buildings means PROPERTY TAXES ARE LOW. Building amenities include a vast community sundeck surveying a panoramic Pacific view with propane barbecues, tables and available umbrellas, lounges, a propane fire pit, and corn hole and shuffleboard courts. The elegant Ballroom and Umbrella Room are available for use. Property management and security are onsite. Onsite parking is available via a waiting list; alternate parking is nearby.
