203 Belmont Ave

Serenely upstairs in highly desirable Belmont Heights, this vintage studio apartment is laced with charm. The tiled bathroom has a builtin chest of drawers; its walk-in closet can hold a bicycle or available storage can hold bike and camping gear. One of the most walkable neighborhoods in the Shore area, Belmont Heights is blocks from the Plaza Pool, gyms, restaurants, parks, shops, or Alamitos Bay and the Pacific Ocean, but without the parking problems of the Shore. While parking on the 200 block of Belmont can be tight, street parking on most of the adjacent streets, where there are few apartments, is plentiful. Sharing only one wall with another unit, this studio is quiet and light-filled with windows on 3 sides. Newer flooring, blinds, kitchen appliances and storage, this small jewel is perfect for one-person minimal living. Rent does not include a $100/mo. utilities fee, but on site laundry and privacy gates around the property make it a private oasis. The apartment features a sleeping alcove which once housed a Murphy bed. Tenants have adapted the spaces variably, using the alcove as a dining room, bedroom, or home office, depending on how the main living space is used. Renter is responsible for electricity and pays $100 utilities fee to cover City of Long Beach Utilities Services. Landlord pays house lights, laundry utilities (hours: 8am-10pm), gardening, etc. using the AACSC Standard Rental Agreement for a one-year lease, going month to month thereafter. It is a no smoking, currently adult, property of really, considerate, quiet, good neighbors.
