The vibrant Pacific coast community appeals to many who are in the market for one bedroom apartments as the area is surrounded by Los Angeles and has 3.5 miles of pristine golden beaches. Some of the popular pastimes include cycling or skating along the beach path that ventures north to Malibu or south to Redondo Beach. Prime surfing locations are found between Pico Boulevard and Bay Street and between Ashland Avenue and Pier Street.
