Description

A rare mixed-use, work-live residence offering exceptional flexibility in the heart of Downtown Long Beach’s East Village Arts District. Located within the modern Blu community, this unique property features two spaces with separate private entrances, ideal for owner-users, entrepreneurs, creatives, or investors seeking a versatile and income-producing opportunity. The ground-level retail/office storefront fronts 4th Street and offers excellent visibility with metered parking directly in front. This space includes an accessible restroom and an adaptable layout that can easily accommodate a wide range of uses, including retail, professional office, creative studio, consulting, wellness services, showroom, or client-facing business. The layout allows for reconfiguration to suit various business or operational needs. The upper-level residential space is completely separate and thoughtfully designed for flexible living. It can function as a two- bedroom residence or as a one-bedroom home with a dedicated office, offering versatility for working professionals or those seeking additional space. The residence features modern finishes, a well-appointed kitchen with stainless steel appliances, in-unit laundry, and a full bathroom, creating a comfortable private retreat above the commercial space. The dual-entrance design allows each level to operate independently, providing the option to live and work on-site, lease one space while occupying the other, or generate dual income streams. This flexibility makes the property well suited for a variety of ownership strategies, including owner-user occupancy, partial leasing, or long-term investment. Residents enjoy access to Blu’s upscale amenities, including a fitness center, outdoor lounge and BBQ areas, putting green, and resident gathering spaces, all within a secure, professionally managed building. Two assigned parking spaces are included. Located just blocks from the beach, marina, Pine Avenue, Shoreline Village, and The Promenade, with convenient access to major freeways and Metro rail, this property offers a rare blend of urban convenience, coastal lifestyle, and commercial-residential flexibility. Mixed-use properties of this caliber—especially in a newer, amenity-rich downtown community—are exceptionally rare. This is a unique opportunity to own a flexible, future-forward asset in one of Long Beach’s most desirable districts.
