Along with a number of positive improvements cropping up in the city center, a host of new downtown Long Beach apartments are changing the way people live in this area for the better.
This is especially so at the new AMLI Park Broadway, a high-end apartment community near the new library and civic center. The six-story building brings over 200 high-efficiency apartments to Long Beach’s growing downtown neighborhood, as well nearly 6,000 square feet of street-level retail.
In many ways, the community joins the massive, over $500-million effort on behalf of the city to overhaul downtown. Its proximity to these changes and the burgeoning night life and restaurant scene have gifted the building a Walk Score of 96 and a Bike Score of 87.
Apartments sit comfortably in the luxury range of rental homes. Residents have their pick from studio and one-, and two- bedroom floor plans, and a choice between units with light or dark finishes. Regardless of what renters decide, they’ll enjoy a range of modern design elements that come standard.
The kitchens are outfitted to the nines with the at-home chef’s needs placed front-and-center. Large Samsung gas stoves with double ovens, French-door refrigerators, and spacious dishwashers round out the appliances, and all are ENERGY STAR®-rated for maximum efficiency. Choice finishes like quartz countertops, kitchen islands, custom tile backsplashes, upgraded plumbing and handsome European-style cabinets complete the room.
Other perks like full-size laundry, generous bath tubs with tile surrounds and Nest thermostats are sprinkled throughout each floor plan. While only select apartments come with floor-to-ceiling windows, every apartment has a private balcony or patio, many with commanding Long Beach views.
Residents have access to a line of amenities more commonly seen at a resort. Once complete, the crown jewel of these will be the pool deck with a salt water pool, adjacent lanai and scenic downtown views overlooking the new library on Broadway Avenue. Another highlight is the expansive fitness center, which boasts top-of-the-line equipment and a group fitness room in a distinctly contemporary space with wood-style floors.
For those looking to entertain guests, a landscaped courtyard provides a shuffleboard table, darts, several TVs, a bar and fire pit. One of the more unique amenity areas is the maker space, which comes equipped with tools for residents to work on their latest DIY projects or brush up on their hands-on creative skills. Bike storage is available to cyclists and—ever-important—parking should not be an issue with the controlled-access garage. The community is also 100-percent pet-friendly with a paw wash to clean up.
Unlike many buildings in its class, AMLI Park Broadway delivers on a promise of sustainability. The community aims to achieve LEED® Silver certification and has water-saving fixtures, premium air filtration technology and electric car charging stations. Healthy building materials were used in the community’s construction and over 75 percent of waste generated in building was diverted from local landfills.
