The Bay Shore is a building complex of condominiums
on located next to the bridge on 2nd Street passing over
the Alamitos Bay, which flows into the Pacific Ocean.
Some of Long Beach, California's most desirable
neighborhoods and residential areas include Naples,
Belmont Shore and the ocean front along Ocean Boulevard
in downtown Long Beach. It is no wonder that this would
be such a sought after residential location. Originally
built as a
vacation getaway with luxury hotels to lure Los
Angeles dwellers down into the nether lands of far away
Long Beach, the goal even then was to develop the land
and sell homes. The stories during the early 1900's were
similar...nearby Balboa Island lots were practically
given away, Huntington Beach gave away small lots for
the purchase of an Encyclopedia set and today, harbor
cruises in Newport Beach bay include the story about
buying a lot for $100 that today is worth millions.
The popular Bay
Shore complex and its 30 or so condos have not reached
the prices of the neighboring homes such as Naples
Treasure Island where a property can fetch a tidy sum in
the millions of dollars. Nevertheless, you'll seldom see
a Bay Shore condominium come up for sale. Forever sunset
ocean views, bay views, swimming pool, barbeques, and
subterranean parking are a few amenities for those who
purchase and live in The Bay Shores.
Although the
building looks fairly ordinary by most standards, a
common phrase in Real Estate is location, location,
location. Look at the photos above to see that this
building sits along the water near Bayshore Beach.
Located on 201 Bayshore Avenue, Long Beach, Calif.,
opportunities for a boat slip exist when you purchase
here. And a walk out your door puts you at
Bayshore
Beach, a community library, and the 64-acre Bayshore
Playground on 14-54th Place. It includes a coop
preschool, handball court, paddle tennis court,
playground, racquetball court, roller hockey rink and
the rental facilities on the beach where you can have a
small party, barbeque or wedding.
Also a common view
are the
gondolas that ply these gentle waters,
kids learning to sail from the Leeway Sailing
Center, and sunbathers
soaking up rays on the Alamitos Bay.
