Pine Avenue Perks
Located at 838 Pine Ave., between 8th and 9th Streets, this upscale townhome center is situated at the very top of the bustling Pine Avenue shopping district, arguably the most popular of Long Beach’s five distinct dining, culture and entertainment districts. It boasts a prime location in the main artery of the city’s dynamic downtown scene.

The lively urban avenue is lined with towering historical buildings, landmark art deco edifices, and modern adaptive reuse condominiums and lofts. By day Pine Avenue is alive with a steady stream of business and tourism commerce. By night, it seamlessly transitions into the hub of Long Beach nightlife, with crowds spilling over into its many galleries, boutiques and a unique fusion of dining destinations for every international taste.

The nearby City Place, a mixed-use retail development, is home to Pine Avenue’s popular weekly Farmer’s Market. Art lovers will appreciate living so near to the Museum of Latin American Art, the only museum in the western United States solely focused on showcasing contemporary fine art from Latin America.

Convenient Access to Public Transit

The condominiums at 838 Pine Ave. are a short walk from a wide range of low-cost, high-convenience public transit choices.

Of those, residents can choose from: Passport A & D buses (rides west of Alamitos Avenue in downtown Long Beach are free); Passport B bus (The East Village Tour free shuttle that travels throughout the emerging art neighborhoods of East Village and West Gateway); Passport C bus (The Pine Avenue Link route, serving Pine Avenue, Shoreline Drive, Pine Avenue Circle, The Queen Mary and the Aquarium); Long Beach Transit “Regular Service” buses; the 22-mile light rail transit MTA Blue Line (runs from 7th Street in Downtown L.A., through the communities of Vernon, Huntington Park, South Gate, Watts, Compton, Carson, finally ending in downtown Long Beach).

For car commuters, residences at 838 Pine Ave. offer quick, convenient access to the 710, 405 and 110 Freeways.

Outstanding School District: Long Beach Unified School District

838 Pine Ave. is zoned for several excellent schools within the nationally-recognized Long Beach Unified School District, from elementary to high school.
The city’s outstanding school district (LBUSD) is slated to receive some $56 million over the next two years as part of President Barack Obama’s $787 billion federal economic stimulus package.

LBUSD was one of the top five finalists for the 2008 Broad Prize for Urban Education, recognizing America’s best urban school system for increasing student achievement. The district was the national Broad Prize winner for the 2003-04 school year.
