I can't say enough great things about Broadstone Inkwell! From the moment you walk in, you can tell this place is something special. The property itself is beautifully designed with a perfect mix of modern style and a vibrant, welcoming atmosphere right in the heart of downtown Long Beach . What truly sets this community apart, though, is the incredible team. Eldon, Erica, and Davis go above and beyond to make every interaction feel personal and effortless. They are genuinely friendly, attentive, and always willing to help--whether it's answering questions, giving tours, or making sure everything runs smoothly. You can tell they truly care about the residents and take pride in what they do. The entire experience--from first inquiry to touring the property--was seamless and enjoyable thanks to their professionalism and positive energy. It's rare to find a team this responsive and welcoming, and it makes all the difference. If you're looking for a place that combines great amenities, an amazing location, and a standout team, this is it. Highly recommend! read more

I've only been living here for a few months and I can say that I'm really happy with the place. The staff in the leasing office have been very helpful with answering questions I have. The maintenance staff has also very helpful. When I put in a service request the answer pretty quick and the issue is resolved. read more

We live here and would recommend it to anyone looking for comfort and style in apartment living. After spending several years in downtown LA (Boyle Heights), I am accustomed to hearing city noises (people, music, sirens, cars). So it's not a big deal to hear the sounds of the Promenade late into the evening. The bands and the DJs are actually enjoyable, even when I am getting ready to sleep. I use earplugs and a sound machine to block out the noise. Maybe the interior apartments are more quiet. But I like people watching and really enjoy my apartment, located at the part of the building that overlooks the Promenade. I feel safe and rest easily knowing that my car is protected in the structure. Altogether, the benefits really outweigh anything slightly inconvenient, like the public noise. read more

Great community to live in, building is very well maintained. The amenities are really nice especially the rooftop grills and hang out area. Eldon and the entire team are made sure our time here was very enjoyable. read more

Wow, all I can say is wow. Such a beautiful property, and best of all amazing staff. Eldon the Manager is amazing, so kind and willing to go above and beyond to help. Thank you! read more

I've very much enjoyed living at Broadstone Inkwell so far. The location is pretty much perfect--it's a center of activity in Long Beach and one of those elusive SoCal spots with good walking access to everything, especially restaurants and public transit. I have nothing but great things to say about the staff, particularly Davis, who initially toured me around the building and later helped make my application and move-in process as smooth as possible. He was also super responsive and accommodating when I was coordinating drop-off timing with movers. He works hard for residents and future residents and it shows. My apartment is mostly great. It is much better insulated from sound than my prior living situations (both from neighbors and the surrounding environment), which is a big win for a downtown location. The layout also works great for me, incorporating more storage than I'm used to. If there's anything I wish were different, it's that there are several details around the apartment that seem rushed. There are doorstops attached to doors that physically can't reach any surface to stop against, causing the door to strike handle-first instead. The Internet technician explained that the building installed Cat 5 cables in the walls, and these can't accommodate speeds beyond 1 Gbps. This seems like a shortsighted choice for a new building as technology continues to advance. A sliding door track is installed at a slight angle such that gravity prevents the door from closing all the way. The underside of the kitchen bar counter is unfinished and exposes plywood and glue and such. None of these is a huge issue and I understand some of them can be addressed by maintenance requests, but nevertheless these details betray the image of luxury and properness expressed elsewhere in the community. All in all, the pros heavily outweigh the cons. I happily recommend Broadstone Inkwell. I made the right choice by living here. read more

Omar and the entire maintenance team at Broadstone Inkwell are outstanding. They are always quick to respond, professional, and genuinely attentive to residents' needs. Every maintenance request I've submitted has been handled promptly and with great care, and Omar consistently goes above and beyond to make sure the job is done right. It's clear the team takes pride in their work, and it makes a huge difference in the overall living experience. Thank you, Omar, and the entire maintenance team, for your excellent service! read more

Broadstone Inkwell has been nothing short of amazing since I moved in. From day one, the staff has been professional, friendly, and always willing to help. Anytime I've had a question or request, they've handled it promptly and with great care. Eldon deserves special recognition--he has been absolutely fantastic! He's courteous, attentive, and goes the extra mile to make sure residents feel taken care of. It's rare to find this level of service in an apartment community, and it really makes all the difference. If you're looking for a home where the team truly values its residents, Broadstone Inkwell is the place. read more

I'm currently in a lease elsewhere, but I've been exploring options for when it's up and Broadstone Inkwell is at the top of my list. Eldon has been incredibly helpful, knowledgeable, and genuine throughout the entire process. He's made the experience stress-free and enjoyable. Can't wait to call this place home in a few months!!!! read more

We are thrilled to be moving to Broadstone Inkwell. Eldon has made the process seamless and has been very communicative of every step that is needed and answered all of our questions. The building is beautiful and right in the heart of Downtown. I can't wait to explore all of the dining options that are now at my doorstep. read more

I just went to tour this place, I've been looking at places in LA & Long Beach and from the first phone call Eldon was so incredibly kind. He was knowledgeable and willing to show me all different apartments, quite frankly he is a huge reason I'm considering this place because other management companies either don't pick up the phone, play games and give the run around. He had answers to all my questions and you can't fake someone caring about their job like that. The property itself is also beautiful. If he was an agent or broker, I'd swoop him up in a heartbeat. He made that experience far less stressful than apartment hunting usually is. read more

I LOOOOOOVVVVVVEEEEEEEEEE living at Broadstone Inkwell. I moved here approximately two weeks ago, relocating from Las Vegas. I am originally from Los Angeles, and moved to Las Vegas 6 years ago into a home I purchased. I was incredibly nervous about moving back to Southern California this year, and the overall renting experience after owning a home in Las Vegas. I was also going through a lot personal issues/transitions that caused a lot of anxiety. These nerves were quickly calmed by the wonderful Broadstone Inkwell community manager Emmanuel. I called Broadstone Inkwell in April 2024 (before the building opened), and Emmanuel answered. He took the time to conversate with me about the building and explained what it was like living in downtown Long Beach (a city I had never previously lived in). I told him that I wanted to live in Long Beach because it was close to my family and I wanted to live near or on the beach. I also confessed that I was considering other properties that were closer to the beach with ocean views such as: 1900 Ocean Beach Club, The Crest, and 200 West Ocean. He took the time to talk to me about the other properties I was considering, the downtown Long Beach living experience, and about how Broadstone Inkwell was the newest building in downtown Long Beach. I was almost immediately sold on Broadstone Inkwell (even though the building technically does not have ocean views, but is super close to the beach) after speaking to Emmanuel because of his thorough explanations, his kindness and willingness to help me, and the fact that Broadstone Inkwell is a brand NEW building (meaning I would be living in an apartment no one has ever lived in, and quite frankly you just cannot beat that). He also reassured that the Broadstone Inkwell was located in a great walkable area of downtown Long Beach. Emmanuel texted me photos of the two apartment floor plans I was considering and asked me what color scheme I wanted. After doing this, he emailed me the link to the application via email. I applied for my apartment. I was instantly approved, and he placed my apartment on hold with a deposit. The countdown to my move-in date of June 29 officially began. I emailed and texted Emmanuel throughout the months of April-June 2024 asking him various questions that popped up from apartment measurements to move-in day planning to using the various apps related to the building to renting out the rooftop deck at the building. Anything I asked, Emmanuel answered or provided great guidance. A feat I totally appreciate. I visited Broadstone Inkwell on May 11, 2024, and was instantly greeted by the beautiful Sasha. She gave me a tour of the building and showed me my actual apartment. This was the first time I saw the building and apartment in person, and I fell in love. I knew I had made the right choice in selecting Broadstone Inkwell. When my move-in date arrived and I got to the building to pick up my keys, I was instantly greeted and helped by Eldon. Eldon was super sweet and very helpful. He checked in on me throughout the course of the day, a feat I truly appreciated, and gave me numerous recommendations for local places to eat and things to do in the LBC. I cannot get over how great the team is at Broadstone Inkwell from Emmanuel to Sasha to Eldon, the maintenance supervisor and the porter (I still do not know their names, but will soon). Everyone is super helpful, genuine and kind. I commend them for setting the tone with wonderful energy for the building. I am incredibly happy living here. I feel safe and supported. I don't feel lonely. I feel as though I am living in a resort. The building has great amenities. The gyms are great! The rooftop deck is wonderful. The co-working space is wonderful. The pool is a bit small, but you don't really need a pool when you live this close to the ocean. The building is BEAUTIFUL (lots of art) and smells great! I LOVE my parking space. I work comfortably from home. I love having all these restaurants, bars, stores and other venues/things to do this close. I am still adjusting to being back in California, and living at Broadstone Inkwell has made it easy for me to do just that. All my family and friends who have visited my apartment LOVE it as well. read more

Just toured this community and it's beyond beautiful! The amenities and the decor are one of a kind and very special, you can tell it was made thoughtfully. I love the location and life it has, it's a prime spot! Eldon, who toured me was very insightful and was a pleasure to work with, very knowledgeable about the building and the area. Thank you! Cannot wait for my lease to be up next year because I will definitely be applying then! read more

After touring 7 diff apartment bldg's in DTLB, I reached out to the newly opened Broadstone Inkwell for a tour. Sasha helped me set up a same day in-person tour and let me tell you I was impressed with the complex the moment I arrived. Sasha helped me narrow down my 1-bed search to a unique floor plan. I found the apartment's modern design and amenities to be a real bonus! I'll be spending quite a bit of time at home so I look forward to switching up my routine by watching a movie on the sky deck or hanging out by the fire pit--both overlooking the LB and Signal Hill area. Eldon and Sasha made the application process and my transition to the bldg really simple. They have been quick to respond to my requests and are always a pleasure to connect with. The Broadstone Inkwell and its residents are in good hands. This place has checked all the boxes in my honest opinion. read more

Glad to see that this particular building is different from all others in the downtown Long Beach Area. Many I have toured seem very basic and not much thought put in it. Lived at the Camden's for 11 years and finally decided it's time for a change. As soon as this building is complete I'm putting in my 30 days to enjoy something new. The manager that took me on the tour was very attentive to my needs. read more

We are currently residing in Broadstone Inkwell Apartments in Long Beach. Our stay here has been wonderful. Eldon and the administrative staff are a gift to the residents. They are helpful and professional. They always greet you with a smile and have time to address your needs or concerns. The property staff can be seen working hard everyday to keep things running smoothly. The property is modern, well equipped, artsy, and exceptionally well kept. The apartments are spacious and quiet. An important feature of Inkwell is the location. In middle of Long Beach downtown, everything is at your fingertips--from 20 or so excellent and fun restaurants and clubs to a short walk to the performing arts center and beach. Everyone you meet and greet in the hallways is kind and pleasant. I must again credit Eldon and company who's great attitude and leadership that contribute to the comfort and safety of the property. Well done! Joanne A. read more
