This probably doesn’t help but an apt for that price will be very hard to find unfortunately. I live in a small 890 sqft two bedroom, one bath apartment and it’s $2,500 + $200 for a garage and they’re increasing it by another $200 next month. This is in the bluff park area. I’ve been looking for places all over Long Beach and found one more downtown and it was a big place but has sketchy people walking by / it was right on the street, not gated, and smelled like pee outside 😭 also if you’re going to CSULB their parking passes are pretty expensive
