Oceanfront Living in Long Beach's Sea Pointe Towers
Sea Pointe Towers, a 10-story condominium complex completed in 1987, stands as a prominent fixture along the Long Beach boardwalk. With 128 units, this oceanfront property offers residents a blend of coastal living and urban convenience. The building's straightforward modern design features balconies on each floor, providing residents with private outdoor spaces to enjoy the sea breeze. Situated in the heart of Long Beach, Sea Pointe Towers allows easy access to the city's amenities while maintaining a serene beachfront atmosphere. The property's location on the Long Beach Barrier Island places it within eight blocks or less of waterside views, embodying the essence of the "City by the Sea" lifestyle.
Spacious Layouts with Ocean Vistas
Sea Pointe Towers offers a range of living spaces to suit various needs, from cozy one-bedroom units to expansive two-bedroom homes. The one-bedroom layouts span from 750 to 900 square feet, featuring 1.5 bathrooms and selling for $565,000 to $798,400. These units often include oversized, southeast-facing balconies, perfect for enjoying sunrise views and the rhythmic sounds of crashing waves.
The two-bedroom units are more spacious, ranging from 1,062 to 1,500 square feet, with 1.5 to 2 bathrooms. These larger apartments command prices between $735,000 and $979,000. Many two-bedroom units boast double exposure, offering panoramic ocean views from multiple vantage points.
Regardless of size, all units in Sea Pointe Towers showcase modern amenities and recent updates. Many apartments feature open-concept living areas with kitchens equipped with stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, and ample cabinet space. Hardwood floors, recessed lighting, and large walk-in closets are common throughout. Bathrooms often sport spa-like designs with updated fixtures.
A standout feature in many units is the in-unit washer and dryer, a convenience not always found in coastal condominiums. The large balconies, some wrapping around corner units, provide an extension of living space with stunning ocean or city views.
Monthly HOA fees range from $1,100 to $1,600, covering water and the building's extensive amenities. These fees, while substantial, reflect the luxury services and prime oceanfront location of Sea Pointe Towers.
Resort-Inspired Amenities with Direct Beach Access
Sea Pointe Towers offers an array of amenities designed to enhance the oceanfront living experience. The second floor serves as a beachfront oasis, featuring two pools - one heated for year-round enjoyment - and a hot tub/jacuzzi. This area opens directly onto the boardwalk, providing seamless access to the beach.
The pool deck has recently been upgraded with new pavers and a covered seating area, creating a comfortable space for relaxation. Residents can engage in friendly competition with on-site shuffleboard, bocce ball, and cornhole courts. Plans are underway to add fire pits, further enhancing the outdoor social spaces.
For indoor recreation and socializing, the building boasts a new social room. Bike storage is available for cycling enthusiasts, convenient for rides along the boardwalk or through the neighborhood.
Sea Pointe Towers prioritizes security and convenience with a 24-hour doorman and concierge service. The building offers both garage parking and a resident parking lot, ensuring that car owners have protected spaces for their vehicles.
The condominium is pet-friendly, welcoming furry companions with some weight restrictions (typically 35-45 lbs). This policy allows residents to enjoy coastal living without leaving their four-legged family members behind.
Additional amenities include central air conditioning, balconies in most units, and well-equipped kitchens with dishwashers, disposals, and microwaves. The combination of these features creates a comfortable, resort-like atmosphere right at home.
Vibrant Coastal Community with Urban Conveniences
Long Beach, aptly nicknamed the "City by the Sea," offers a unique blend of beach town charm and urban amenities. The neighborhood surrounding Sea Pointe Towers is characterized by a mix of condominiums and single-family homes, all within easy reach of the waterfront.
Ocean Beach Park, the area's most popular stretch of sand, is just steps away from Sea Pointe Towers. During summer months, the boardwalk comes alive with concessions, outdoor movie screenings, and various water sports activities. For winter recreation, the Long Beach Municipal Ice Arena is nearby, offering hockey programs and figure skating lessons.
The commercial heart of Long Beach runs along Park Avenue, about a 15-minute walk from Sea Pointe Towers. This bustling thoroughfare is home to an eclectic mix of shops, restaurants, and services. Frippery Ltd., a highly-rated gift shop, and Cover Girl Fashion, a popular shoe store, are both within walking distance, perfect for a leisurely shopping excursion.
Dining options in the area cater to various tastes. Long-standing establishments like Laurel Diner, an old-school eatery serving traditional American fare since 1932, coexist with newer additions like Nagahama Japanese Restaurant, known for its fresh sushi and sashimi.

Accessible Coastal Living with City Connections
While Sea Pointe Towers benefits from its beachfront location, it also offers convenient transportation options for those needing to commute or explore beyond Long Beach. The Long Beach Station, servicing the Long Beach Branch of the Long Island Rail Road, is about a mile away - a 5-minute drive or a 25-minute walk. This line provides direct access to New York City, making it feasible for residents to work in Manhattan while enjoying coastal living.

Within Long Beach itself, the area is moderately walkable, with many daily errands possible on foot. The flat terrain and oceanfront boardwalk make biking a viable option for local transportation, especially during warmer months.
While public transit options within Long Beach are limited, the compact nature of the city and the proximity of Sea Pointe Towers to key areas like the commercial district on Park Avenue make car-free living a possibility for many residents. For those who do own vehicles, the building's garage parking and resident parking lot provide convenient options for car storage.
The location of Sea Pointe Towers strikes a balance between the tranquility of beachfront living and the accessibility needed for modern urban life.
