Long Beach is a decent size city. It will depend on which area of Long Beach he wants to live in. East side is mainly single family, but buying in will be more like 600k range now a days. Belmont shore and Ocean Blvd will most likely be over the 500k price point as well. Is he open to the surrounding areas?

Just like Jesse said, Long Beach is a decent sized city. There are a few single family homes that still pop up for sale around the $500k price range, however, these houses tend to be really small, anywhere from 600-1000sqft with some few exceptions. A lot of them are also not in the nicest areas of Long Beach. That being said, I think the condo route would a better decision. There are more condos your client can choose from that fit his price range and he will also have more flexibility on the area in LB that he wants to live in. Hope that helps!
Thank you. It looks like Condo is the best way to go since he's just looking for a place to live. I think a house would be far outside his reach bc he'd have to do major Reno, which he doesn't have the cash for.
