The newest 55+ condo listing in the South Bay is a very nice second floor one bedroom + den condo in The Montecito located at 2001 Artesia just east of Aviation.

This home is listed by Lynn O’Donnell of Vista Sotheby’s.

The Montecito is just over a mile to the beach so offers the cool ocean breezes and the location is close to just about everything.

This nicely updated and maintained condo sits on the southwest corner of the building and only these 2nd floor locations offer larger balconies.  The home offers some nice features including hardwood floors, granite counters, recessed lights, in unit laundry and a den/office with a murphy bed.

The building was completed in 2008 so it still has the bells and whistles today’s buyers are looking for…..in unit laundry, large windows, granite counters, and central heat and A/C.

One occupant must be 55+, while buyers of any age may purchase the condo.

Amenities are a bit limited and the complex does not have a pool or jacuzzi or fitness room but does have a nice courtyard and each level offers an exterior sitting/dining area and outdoor fireplace.  The Montecito is only a mile and half to the beach so even in summer the weather is generally very moderate.  Learn more about The Montecito.
