1900 Ocean

We live in the apartments and LOVE being here. The doormen are so kind and helpful and the managers are efficient and friendly. The view is spectacular! If anything needs repair they attend to it immediately. I highly recommend these apartments.

I must say I’ve been here for 2 years now and there improving tremendously. Leasing consultants are very friendly and new property director is very nice, always willing to help makes living here a lot easier and peaceful. building has been going through on going renovations and looks a lot better although I wish the the deli was open for late night snacks lol, it’s coming together. I didn’t want to be here when the last property director was here but I love the atmosphere now and all the problems I had are now gone thanks to the team at 1900 ocean. Keep up the good work everyone.

I subletted here for 5 months and LOVED it! Parking came with my studio apartment, never had a problem with vandalism or theft. The pool and hot tub were always clean, the BBQ was cool… the Pet Spaw was even cooler (elevated dog bath is fabulous), computer lab was super convenient as is the free beer for residents. The view from the Lounge is gorgeous, sorry that there is no longer direct access from the Lounge to the parking lot… they should definitely reconsider that as I loved that morning view on the way to my car. Claire is great (Yvette — I wouldn’t bother with — no help at all) Doormen are great! Living on the beach is great! Neighbors are friendly — only moving because the commute to work was a bit too long, but this building is a lot of fun. I lived on the hot side of the building, and yes (!!) it gets HOT from 4−7pm. Close to the Metro and Belmont Shores and Shoreline Village. Had a lot of fun here!

I lived here for a year and half. Had to move because I needed a garage and a place to charge my EV.
$ 800/​month on gas wasn’t fun when you have a plugin EV.
Very nice place to live.
Nice lounge with awesome panoramic view of the beach.
You can take the steps or save the calories and take the elevator to the beach.
Decent gym.
The only negative is parking. Friends had to use street parking.
I wonder if they do background checks though because I saw a guy in an elevator with a big box full of bullets (at least 12“x12“x12″). Sure it isn’t illegal to stock up on ammos but seemed kinda sketchy

We are very satisfied over all. We moved in about a month ago. The only complications we had were due to the movers failure to show on the designated day. The customer agents, Yvette and Jordan, ware as accommodating as t could be to enable our move.
We had upgraded our flooring to wood (actually vynil) and they rushed to accommodate our tight schedule to have the apartment ready on time.
Wonderful ocean views, pool and gym facilities. There’s significant remodeling of the public areas going on but in the meantime the management staff are very accommodating; the front staff, are extremely helpful. We feel like we’re almost in a hotel. Incidental repairs are dealt with immediately.
Heat: We have a most spectacular, south and east facing view through large windows which get morning and afternoon direct sun. There is a small air conditioner in our living room but we added a portable air conditioner because in the hottest month in recent Long Beach history, the solar gain was very hot. Since, with normal temps it’s fine and all the rest is great and we’re loving being here.
This is an old building, made very nice by the current management. There are fewer electrical outlets than a newer building but adequate.
The Four stars are because of the short comings due to the era when this was built. So far we are very satisfied with everything else.

Amazing Oceanfront Living! I really enjoyed my stay. For the record, An Oceanfront Apt is worth every penny. Just wish there was A/​C & More Parking Options because people will pay extra upon availability. Cheers!

i had the worst experience ever with management. they changed my move in date 3 times. the last time was 1 week before scheduled to move in and they wouldn’t call me back with an update. i kept calling and asking until i ran out of patience and asked for my deposit back after a month prior from today’s date 7÷30÷15. the property is great but not worth the trouble and headaches.

don’t let the ocean view blind you. make sure you read every line and every page when you sign I fucked up and just signed my life away the management is out to take your money and they really don’t give a shit about you. there’s also no air conditioning in the units and they still got that old ass popcorn ceiling on deck also there is no deli or restaurant that shit been closed down. FUCK YOU GUYS PEACE.

This is an awesome building. I lived here 10 years ago and I had to move back. The amenities are awesome and the price for them is comparable to other buildings with the same amenities or less. Beyond that, the staff is awesome. They gave me a birthday card personally signed by many of them. I wouldn’t expect those who are managing a 18 floor building to make the time. The doormen are always welcoming and Cassie works hard to have a monthly calendar of fun events for the residents. The maintenance team is top notch and keep the building looking great! Everyone who see the building tell me that it looks like I live in a hotel. Oh! Did I mention that the building is on the sand?! It opens to the beach! I’ve looked at other places in DTLA and Miracle Mile area with the same amenities and they cost the same or more with out the beach view. I’m a happy camper!

1900 Ocean is California living. Right on the sand. BBQ, pool, Jacuzzi, weight room, and a great view!!! The staff is friendly and helpful. Total security with the doormen. Cassie is our social coordinator with great ideas for gatherings, events etc… She also offers our pets spa days and grooming onsite. I’m very happy with my decision to live here and have urged some of my friends to live here too.

Yvette is very helpful and has great customer Service and the apartment is amazing with a killer view. I hear the waves and smell the ocean every day. Well worth it

I lived here for about four years and loved it. The people here are friendly. I honestly wish I had never left. There is a concierge and door man. I used to just go down the hall get on the elevator and would be right on the beach. The pool is right on the ocean as well. There are two bi gas grills for bbq. The gym is ocean front as well and has several TVs to watch while working out. The Jacuzzi is located by the bbq grills and overlooks the ocean as well. My apt had a view of the ocean and the queen Mary. We had many awesome 4^th of July and new yrs. parties in my apt. The fireworks launch right off the small islands by the queen Mary. The park is right across the street which hosts a weekly farmers market. Downton long beach is about a mile and 2^nd street is within 2 miles away. The mistake I made was we kept signing 6 month lease hoping to buy a home, and this went on for about 4 yrs. Unfortunately each time the rent went up. The last increase they wanted $ 100 more a month which was almost $ 300 more than when we first moved to this apartment.

This is the best rental experience I have ever had… and while it’s true that all we have is dsl for internet, we have no problems streaming Netfix in HD on 3 televisions at one time while all 4 of us are on tablets or phones. I have had all sorts of maintenance issues over the course of my stay here. Not only did they take care of it, but 9 times out of 10 they did it on the same day or the very next day. The property is immaculately cared for. I wake up very early every morning to walk my dog and I see housekeeping dusting and mopping the common areas every single DAY. We have some of the best amenities as well. We have a pet spa for self service dog baths and a great local groomer comes in biweekly as well as daily dry cleaning pick up and delivery service. The property is constantly updating and upgrading this historic landmark. 1900 Ocean is a valued part of the Long Beach landscape and has been seen in countless tv shows and movies and has even had episodes and commercials filmed inside! I have an oceanfront apartment and the view from my family area is unsurpassed for the price. I have a $ 5,000,000 condo equivalent for less than $ 3,500 a month! You just can’t beat that! Our leasing and business office staff are some of the kindest and genuine people I’ve ever paid to see every day. This community is a very large family and our activities coordinator keeps us very busy with community parties and events. Our 24 hour security concierge is privately managed and we have some of the nicest and hard working «doormen» I’ve ever seen. They go above and beyond! My two boys love living here. They love that they live ON the beach and the sunsets they get to watch every day. While we represent a large population of business professionals, we also have a good group of retirees and families. I doubt that I will ever move. If you’re looking for the American dream on the beach without the headache of home ownership 1900 Ocean is where you need to be!

I love my apartment, its beautiful, love the maintenance crew and everyone that works here!!! but the reason I’m writing this review is bc on tuesday i was under lots of stress to print out certain documents i had to turn in 1.5h later, and my printer did not work, and I didn’t want to mess with business office (I didn’t have time to make sure printer had paper, maybe someone already was using printer, etc). anyway I was under a lot of stress and when I’m stressed I usually don’t show up as a nice guy… so I walked down to the leasing office, walked right to the first person I saw there and told them (to make long story short) that i need to use their computer and printer NOOOOOOOOOOOOW :))). Kimberly was her name I found out later, got up and said; go ahead. So i made my deadline on time!!! Later i figured out that I walked into property directors office!!! :)))) its so kind of her that she did that! and I’m sure she was busy!
Thank you everyone at 1900 Ocean who make mine and stephanie’s life feel so at home!!!

This company doesn’t have the common courtesy of notifying applicants of the application statuses after being submitted. I had to call the office and a guy who had answered told me that he was going to call me back within 5 – 10 mins to retrieve my file and so far, he hasn’t returned my call. First impression is everything.

THE WORST place i have ever lived!
BAD:
–terrible management: don’t respond to phone calls or emails, unavailable.
–asbestos in building except they don’t tell you that until after you’ve moved in
–neighbors: shady neighbors; floor smelled like weed ALL the time
–parking: only one parking spot available and there it’s so hard to find street parking
-$$: way too expensive for what you get in return! they charge you ridiculous amounts for nothing; they took extra out from the deposit to wash the windows OUTSIDE the building and to clean the apt and paint when it looked just like how we got it in the first place!
–lack of air-​conditioning: DANGEROUSLY hot, especially for pets; no AC w/​the heat so alarming that several nights we had to sleep at other places to avoid the dangers of sleeping in the temperatures; our furniture even got destroyed from the heat
–internet: extremely slow; limited options
–deposit: make sure you ask what they will already be deducting from your deposit when you leave… they would not give us the deposit back for the FAB key claiming that was part of the deposit when in actuality, we paid extra for it!!! AND, it took them THREE months to give me back my deposit after i emailed, called and stopped by at the building several times to follow up.
GOOD:
–maintenance people and doormen were always nice and helpful
ABSOLUTELY think TWICE or even three times before living here. this is my second Unilocal review i’ve ever written and this place was so horrendous that i absolutely was willing to go out of my way to write this review! don’t be fooled by the nice lobby. behind the scenes it’s a horrible place to live! just b/​c it is the first hit that pops up when you search doesn’t mean it’s worth living here!
AND miles, the manager is completely useless. not trustworthy… and yvette who works at the front is an airhead that made the move in extremely annoying since she messed up so many of the initial steps at the beginning!!!
DO NOT MOVE IN TO THIS PLACE!

Internet (only slow options available) and parking (single parking spot for one bedrooms and some two bedrooms, no guest parking, some street parking) are not great but otherwise a nice place to live.

I have lived here for five years and within this past year they have lost a delivered package twice at two different times now. One was my bday gift and now a Christmas gift. The first time they just took $ 200.00 off my rent three months later and now they didn’t do anything about it and just said they will talk to doorman as their protocol will be looked at. They didn’t ask for id and no signature. They didn’t fix the protocol or procedures the first time this happened five months ago! Sentimental value gifts do not have a price tag! They don’t take any accountability for this.
Expensive enough rent and this is what we get!

I lived here for 2.5 years and thought this was overall ok place to live
The pros:
Secured/​covered parking (although just one spot). Guests have to park on street which can get full late at night
well maintained common area
doorman who also accepts large deliveries
maintenance staff is quick when I submitted work order
business center with computer, internet, copy machine, fax
nice view of ocean (although long beach itself is kind of a dirty blah beach)
Staff is generally nice and polite
Trash chute on each floor
Washer/​dryer in my unit (not all units have this)
Cons:
They will usually increase your rent $ 100 to $ 200 per month everytime your lease expires
I lived on west facing side and it gets very sunny and extremely hot/​uncomfortable in summer months of June to September. The curtain/​shade is not enough to block out sun. I bought a portable AC which helped somewhat in the living room but many times I also had to leave my apartment in the afternoons/​early evening to avoid baking in the sun
When I moved out they took about $ 350 of my deposit for carpet cleaning, painting wall and other fixes even though I cleaned the apt and I don’t wear shoes inside. I was already warned that they do this so don’t expect your full deposit back.
In the end I really couldn’t live with how hot my apt got in the summer and yearly rent increases so I decided to move out.

My wife and I moved in this past September, OMG, I love this place, 1 bed/​1 bath and one amazing view. A secured underground parking garage with direct access to my floor makes grocery shopping a breeze, a 24 hr doorman and a great lounge overlooking the ocean, they often have meet and greets here, also this is where my wife and I spent time for a building thrown Christmas party and another time for Thanksgiving Day dinner (my first holiday away from my extended family) but that day we got another family, 1900 East Ocean.
A nice gym that I do not see that often because after work we grill outside and then we are either in the heated swimming pool or hot tub overlooking the most gorgeous view ever, taking a dip in the ocean or walking to the beach. To think I used to pay money to stay at a place like this for a week vacation when we lived on the east coast but now we live it everyday. I cannot imagine living anywhere else
