Raising eight stories above the surf is a glass tower full of the finest luxury this town has seen.

Long Beach is becoming the new Gold Coast.  Long before its incorporation in 1922, Long Beach was known for drawing 19th century New York's power elite to its shores as an upscale resort town. Men and women would stroll the boardwalk on Saturday evening dressed to the nines in tuxedos, gowns , and mink stoles. Today, this enchanting and hypnotic "City by the Sea" is more charismatic than ever, invigorating new developments which continue to reenergize the area.

In terms of location you have shopping, dining, banking, tennis, golfing, biking, hospitals, pharmacies, and much more within a few minutes. Its a quick train ride to Manahattan and a short drive to JFK making this an ideal location. Plus you are right on the beach... close your eyes and it feels like paradise.
