1964 was certainly a busy year in Long Beach. If you are exploring condo opportunities in Bluff Park then you will quickly see what we mean as in addition to the wonderful complex of the Park Royale you will also find the nearby Carlton Imperial. Commanding a prime location on 2nd St just blocks from the ocean is just one appealing aspect of this building. With this condo complex bounded by Kennebec to the west you can simply stroll down Kennebec to enjoy the Long Beach Museum of Art…and you just might enjoy the cool ocean breeze at the same time.
After you get through the lobby at the Park Royale you will notice the middle of the building is wide open to enjoy the nearly year round great weather. In addition to a nice sitting area on the ground floor with this setup the other benefit is you don’t have to travel down any dark hallways to get to your condo.
Find Out More About the Park Royale
We invite you to explore more about the key features of this development to see if it is right for you.
- Heating – Typical of condos developed in the 1960’s you will find that this condo development uses radiant heat. This is important to note as with radiant heat operating off of electricity it can mean larger electricity bills in the winter…although our “winters” aren’t too cold near the beach.
- Laundry – Inside laundry wasn’t too common for condos in 1964. Don’t fear that you will have to go to the laundromat though as there is community laundry available.
- Amenities – Other than a hobby room off of the lobby there aren’t any amenities like a pool or spa available.
- Secured Parking – Parking must have always been a challenge by the beach as the Park Royale was built with secured parking. Always check your HOA and Title documents to ensure that your specific unit does have parking spaces assigned. When you pull into the parking garage you will notice the added benefit of storage space above the parking spots as well.
- Balcony – A distinctive feature of the Park Royale are the balconies that have a unique curve to them. For the units that do have a balcony you will find them large in size allowing you to enter from your sliding glass door and spanning the width of your unit. The depth of the balcony allows for you to easily put a few chairs to enjoy the neighborhood.
With 24 units at the Park Royale you will find a mix of 1 bedroom units, 2 bedroom units and even 3 bedroom condos! If a 3 bedroom condo is on your “must have” list then this is a building you will want to keep tabs on as that is a rarity among Long Beach condos. Each of the floor plans provide great opportunities. The 1 bedroom condos can be nearly 900 sq ft and even allows for a formal dining room! The 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom condos offer a large living room space, plenty of storage and you can spread out a bit enjoying over 1,200 sq ft. If you happen to land one of the coveted 3 bedroom units then you can have the opportunity to relax in this great location in nearly 1,500 sq ft.

Frequently Asked Questions: Park Royale Condos in Bluff Park
Everything buyers ask us about this Bluff Park building — answered.
Where exactly is the Park Royale located?
The Park Royale sits at 2302 E. 2nd St. in Long Beach, CA 90803, in the heart of the Bluff Park neighborhood. It’s just blocks from the ocean, bounded by Kennebec to the west — a short, pleasant stroll down to the Long Beach Museum of Art, often with a cool ocean breeze along the way. It’s one of the more walkable spots in Bluff Park, which is part of what keeps demand here steady.
How many units are in the building, and what sizes are available?
The Park Royale is an intimate, 24-unit building — small enough that it has a real sense of community rather than the anonymity of a large high-rise. Units range from roughly 798 sq ft up to about 1,500 sq ft, and you’ll find a genuine mix of 1-bedroom, 2-bedroom, and even 3-bedroom floor plans. The 1-bedrooms can run close to 900 sq ft (some even with a formal dining room), the 2-bed/2-bath units stretch past 1,200 sq ft with generous living space and storage, and the largest 3-bedroom layouts approach 1,500 sq ft.
Does the Park Royale really have 3-bedroom condos?
It does — and that’s worth highlighting, because 3-bedroom condos are genuinely rare among Long Beach buildings. If a true 3-bedroom unit near the beach is on your must-have list, the Park Royale is one of the few Bluff Park buildings that can deliver it. Because there are so few of them, the 3-bedroom units here are highly coveted and don’t come up often.
Is there in-unit laundry?
No — like most condos built in 1964, the Park Royale was designed with shared facilities, so there’s community laundry on site rather than washer/dryer hookups inside each unit. You won’t be heading to a laundromat, but if in-unit laundry is a firm requirement, it’s worth confirming whether the specific unit you’re considering has been modified, as some owners in older Long Beach buildings add their own.
What kind of heating do the units have, and does it affect utility costs?
The building uses radiant heat, which is typical of 1960s Long Beach condos. Because radiant systems here run on electricity, you can see higher electricity bills in the cooler months — though Bluff Park’s mild, beach-adjacent climate means the “winters” rarely demand much heating at all. It’s a small but real budgeting consideration that experienced buyers factor in.
What amenities and parking does the Park Royale offer?
The Park Royale keeps things simple. There’s a hobby room off the lobby and a comfortable ground-floor sitting area in the building’s open-air central courtyard — a nice design touch that also means you’re not navigating dark interior hallways to reach your condo. There’s no pool or spa. On the parking front, the building was built with secured parking, and many spaces come with the bonus of overhead storage. Parking assignments do vary by unit, so always verify in the HOA and title documents that your specific condo includes assigned spaces.
What are the balconies like?
The balconies are one of the Park Royale’s signature features. They have a distinctive curve to them, and where a unit has one, it tends to be large — spanning the width of the unit and accessible through a sliding glass door. The depth is generous enough to set out a few chairs and enjoy the neighborhood. Not every unit has a balcony, so it’s worth confirming for any specific listing.
How often do units come up for sale here, and how do I stay ahead of new listings?
Condos at the Park Royale don’t hit the market often, which is exactly why interested buyers benefit from advance notice rather than refreshing listing apps. We keep a close watch on Bluff Park inventory and can often give you a heads-up before listings appear on the major portals. Request our Hot List of available Long Beach condos, or call 562-989-7111 to be added to our database for the latest Bluff Park listings.
What should I know about HOA fees, and is the building FHA or VA approved?
HOA dues at the Park Royale cover the shared elements typical of a building this age — the community laundry, secured parking area, courtyard, and building maintenance. For a full breakdown of what dues typically include in Long Beach buildings, see our guide to condo HOA fees. FHA and VA approval status can change over time and is specific to the building’s current standing, so if you plan to finance with an FHA or VA loan, confirm the Park Royale’s current approval before writing an offer — our guides to FHA-approved and VA-approved condos walk through how to check.
