Alamitos Beach · Long Beach, California
1637 E 5th StreetUnit 302
Open House
Welcome home to your bright, top-floor retreat in the heart of Alamitos Beach, a short walk from the 4th Street Corridor and Retro Row's beloved farmers market, vintage boutiques, and restaurants.
Light And Volume
Soaring vaulted ceilings, and morning sun
You step into an open, airy floor plan crowned by soaring vaulted ceilings and brightened by recessed lighting throughout.
Your sun-filled living and dining area glows with warm morning light through east-facing windows, while a gentle ceiling fan keeps things cool and calm.
The Kitchen
Granite, and an island made for gathering
Your stylish kitchen shines with granite countertops and a generous center island made for gathering and slow weekend mornings.
It opens directly onto the living and dining space, so nobody cooking is ever cut off from the room.
Primary Suite
A walk-in closet, an en suite, and balcony access
Your serene primary suite boasts a walk-in closet, a beautiful en suite finished in granite, and direct access to the balcony.
Two spacious bedrooms welcome restful nights, and both bathrooms carry the same granite finish through the home.
Second Bedroom
A large closet, and its own door to the balcony
The second bedroom offers a large closet, direct bathroom access, and a bright sliding door onto your private balcony. It works just as easily as an office.
The balcony is reachable from both bedrooms, which makes it feel like part of the home rather than an afterthought.
Everyday Ease
Thoughtful upgrades that make ownership effortless
Fresh interior paint and a new water heater, both completed in 2025. The luxury of in-unit laundry, with the washer and dryer included.
Come feel the warmth, space, and belonging you have been searching for.
One Of Eight
A boutique building
Set within a boutique eight-unit building, this is the top-floor residence.
A secured gate and a secured garage door sit between the street and your two assigned side-by-side parking spaces. A refreshingly low HOA fee keeps this coastal lifestyle effortless.

Highlights
The Neighborhood
Alamitos Beach
Alamitos Beach is the pocket of Long Beach where you can leave the car parked all weekend. The 4th Street Corridor begins two blocks south, and Retro Row runs east from there with the vintage shops, the farmers market, and the restaurants people drive across town for.
The shoreline and the bike path are a fifteen minute stroll. Downtown Long Beach, the Pike, and the Metro A Line are all a short ride away.

If This One Is Not It
Not in love with where you live?
This residence may not be the one, and that is fine. It is more common than people admit. What I have learned is that the people who end up somewhere they love are almost never the ones who got lucky on a listing. They are the ones who made a plan first.
Start with a plan
A free membership with the steps, the tools, and honest guidance to get from where you are now to the home you actually want. No pressure, just clear answers.
Find out what yours is worth
Wondering whether a move is even possible starts with one honest number. I will put together a real valuation of your property, not an automated guess pulled off a portal.

What this would cost you monthly
Pre-loaded with this residence’s price and HOA dues. Move the sliders to match your own situation.
Rate default is 6.67%, close to the current Freddie Mac 30-year fixed average. Property tax is estimated at 1.15% of purchase price annually and insurance at $55 per month. Both are estimates, not quotes. Your actual rate, taxes, assessments, and insurance will differ. This is an illustration, not a lending offer or a commitment to lend.
