Located on the beach, residents can enjoy the fabulous roof deck with an outdoor kitchen and BBQ overlooking the Pacific Ocean and the San Pedro Bay. They enjoy watching the sun set with incredible views of the Queen Mary and more. Entertaining guests from out of town became even easier with guest suites on-site available to be reserved for family and friends.
Pets also enjoy living in luxury at the Villa Riviera – so long as they meet with the HOA’s breed restrictions and weight restrictions. For those looking to take a stroll on the beach - Long Beach’s six miles of beach start at your door step. The city has even installed 4.1 miles of separate walking and bike paths. Running along a white sand beach for nearly its entire journey, the trail provides direct access to the Pacific Ocean and the city's popular Belmont Veterans Memorial Pier.
