Basically your are paying for the ocean view and some amenities that have just been updated however they are raising tenants rents as much as 25% each year!!! The kitchens and bathrooms are horrendously outdated. The apartments have really old dirty carpets also with flat white paint that has 10 coats or more with hardened drip stains everywhere. They are spacious rooms though. The staff has been constantly changing because of poor management. You are right on the beach but when the weather is hot and its the weekend this is the most crowded beach in long beach. The gym is nice and the community room. I would advise you NOT to move here unless its for 2yrs or less. Everyone gets a huge rent raise and moves. One elevator is always booked on sat & sun because of the "shell" game Avalon is playing!

The building is right on the Atlantic Ocean. There is a beautiful Olympic size pool. There is an area right by the pool, where tenants could invite guests, or hold parties, or get-togethers. There is an overhanging in case of rain or inclement weather, one could still sit outside. There is a nice air conditioned and heated gym. There are indoor party rooms. There is indoor parking for your vehicles, at an extra charge. The apartments are spacious, with lots of room and beautiful views of the ocean, boardwalk, and beach. The lobby was just renovated. There are door people in the front lobby. All visitors have to be announced.

I can't begin to say how terrible this building has become for tenants. They charge Manhattan prices but give literally NO services. Everything--but everything--that they advertise is broken. One elevator only most of the time for an 11 story building. Elevators are filthy as is the lobby. Air conditioning in the public spaces has been broken for a long time. Bathrooms and showers in the pool area broken for the second year in a row. Absolutely no work has been done to restore the building since the storm. No gym. No carwash. No lobby areas. Basically nothing--but the rents continue to rise. Virtually EVERY tenant is disgusted. The only thing that keeps anyone here is the proximity of the ocean, but that has worn thin. Don't believe anything they say. There are plenty of other buildings who actually provide service.

Best apartments and right on the beach! Priced right great management.
