Presenting 488 E Ocean Blvd #717
A stunning, newly remodeled panoramic ocean-view residence in the iconic Aqua Towers on Ocean Boulevard. This corner unit captures unobstructed coastline and Queen Mary views from every room and features a rare wrap-around glass balcony. The interior has been stylishly upgraded with a remodeled kitchen featuring new shaker cabinets, designer granite countertops, and stainless appliances, all open to the main living area with two large sliders to the balcony. High-end Newcore wide-plank wood-styled laminate flooring runs throughout, and a full-sized interior laundry area adds everyday convenience. Positioned directly above the course of the famous Long Beach Grand Prix, the balcony delivers premium race viewing once a year, with future 2028 Olympic events planned nearby. Included are one assigned secure parking space plus a rare storage unit, with ample guest parking onsite. The Aqua community offers resort-like amenities including 24-hour concierge, pool, spa, sauna, fitness center, clubroom with lounge and full kitchen, outdoor BBQ area, and two private office spaces; HOA dues include FiOS internet and the building is pet friendly. With a walk score of 94, the beach, bike path, Shoreline Village, the Promenade, the Terrace Theater, and the Fairmont Breakers rooftop lounge are all just steps away.

Inside the Residence
How We Position This Home to the Market
Sell the View, Not the Square Footage
Very few Aqua units face the ocean on a corner. Photography and video lead with the wrap-around glass balcony and the water so buyers price the view first.
Turnkey Removes Every Objection
The remodel is complete — kitchen, flooring, and finishes. The campaign frames this as move-in ready against tired competing inventory in the tower.
Grand Prix and Olympics Story
The balcony sits directly above the Long Beach Grand Prix circuit, and 2028 Olympic venues are planned nearby. That is a headline no comparable listing can claim.
Walk Score 94 Beachfront Living
Sand, the bike path, Shoreline Village, the Terrace Theater, the East Village Arts District, and the Fairmont Breakers rooftop are all on foot — the lifestyle sells the price.
