Welcome to life at The Lakes—where nature meets comfort in one of Long Beach’s most loved condo communities! This VA-approved, light-filled unit feels like your own peaceful retreat tucked inside 11+ acres of lush landscaping, flowing fountains, and a mini wildlife sanctuary (think ducks, turtles, koi, butterflies, and even geese!). As soon as you step inside, you're greeted with tall vaulted ceilings, a bright and open layout and abundance of light. The kitchen has nice quartz counters, stainless steel appliances, and a large pantry and a peninsula for casual meals or catching up over coffee. I love most is the private patio, your own little outdoor oasis. Whether you're sipping wine at sunset, growing your favorite herbs, or just unwinding after a long day, this space is full of possibility. The spacious bedroom features large closets. The home also includes covered carport parking, extra storage, and access to laundry close by. But the lifestyle here? That’s the real win. The Lakes offers resort-style amenities including two pools, spas, tennis courts, a gym, sauna, clubhouse with ping pong and billiards, and even peaceful walking paths around the water features. Plus, it's pet-friendly and just steps from El Dorado Park, bike trails to the beach, and great schools, shop
