Creating Coastal Community: The Boardwalk’s Sales Milestone Reflects Appeal of Oceanfront Lifestyle Living
The Boardwalk’s achievement of more than 50% sales demonstrates how exceptional oceanfront development can create vibrant communities that enhance both resident lifestyles and the broader Long Beach area. This milestone, highlighted by a recent Dwell magazine feature, reflects the success of a development approach that prioritizes community building alongside luxury living.
Lifestyle-Driven Development Success
The sales milestone at The Boardwalk highlights the market appeal of developments that offer comprehensive lifestyle experiences rather than simply luxury housing. Located along Long Beach’s historic boardwalk with direct access to 3.5 miles of Atlantic coastline, the development provides residents with an integrated coastal living experience.
The strong buyer response reflects demand for communities that support diverse lifestyle preferences through thoughtful amenity programming and design. More than 40,000 square feet of resort-inspired amenities create opportunities for fitness, relaxation, work, and social interaction within the residential community.
“The response to The Boardwalk has been incredible, with people recognizing a truly unique opportunity for luxury living along Long Beach’s iconic waterfront,” said Glen Fox, Co-Director of Sales for Douglas Elliman, emphasizing how the development’s lifestyle offerings have resonated with buyers.
Community Integration and Neighborhood Enhancement
The Boardwalk’s success stems partly from its thoughtful integration into Long Beach’s existing community fabric. Rather than creating an isolated luxury enclave, the development includes boardwalk-level space for neighborhood restaurants and retail shops that serve both residents and the broader community.
The fitness center, yoga studio, and co-working spaces address practical daily needs while creating informal gathering opportunities. Pet-washing stations and other convenience amenities demonstrated attention to the details that support comfortable daily living.
“The building has really come to life with engaged residents and dynamic amenity spaces,” noted Kristin Altfather, Co-Director of Sales for Douglas Elliman. This resident engagement creates the community atmosphere that enhances both current residents satisfaction and continued market appeal.
Seasonal Appeal and Year-Round Community
The Boardwalk’s design and amenities support both seasonal enjoyment and year-round community life. The outdoor pool, lounge areas, and direct beach access provide exceptional summer experiences, while indoor amenities and community spaces maintain engagement throughout the year.
“We’re excited for the summer season, when our connection to the ocean and our resort-style outdoor amenities will truly shine,” added Altfather, highlighting how the development’s appeal peaks during the coastal season while maintaining value year-round.
The combination of seasonal and permanent amenities creates flexibility for residents with different usage patterns while maintaining community vitality across seasons. This approach supports both full-time residents and those who use their residences seasonally.
Design that Celebrates Place
The involvement of renowned interior design firm BG Studio International has created residences that celebrate their oceanfront location through thoughtful design elements and maximized views. Expansive private terraces and panoramic ocean and skyline views connect residents to the natural setting while providing luxury living experiences.
Steven Krieger, President of B2K Development, emphasized that “the stunning Long Beach seascape inspired the design of The Boardwalk, both inside and out,” demonstrating how successful developments can respond authentically to their environments.
The design approach creates homes that feel connected to their coastal setting while providing the sophistication and amenities expected by luxury buyers. This balance has contributed to buyer appeal and community satisfaction.
Building Long Island’s Coastal Future
The Boardwalk’s sales success contributes to Long Island’s evolution as a destination for sophisticated coastal living that rivals other premium waterfront markets. With homes prices from $875,000 to $4,500,000 across 192 condominiums, the development demonstrates market appetite for diverse luxury options within exceptional coastal settings.
The projects milestone achievement reinforces the potential for thoughtfully planned oceanfront development that creates lasting value for residents while contributing positively to established coastal communities. As Long Island continues to attract buyers seeking alternatives to urban living, developments like The Boardwalk provide models for community-focused luxury that enhance both individual lifestyles and regional appeal.
