There are dozens of reasons Farakh Zaman and his wife chose gallery421 as their new home. "The open floor plan and the great view," said Zaman, a U.S. Air Force officer." The decor is modern and updated. And the location is great - close to the highway, a block from downtown to the restaurants, bars, stores and the church we want to attend. But first and foremost, he said: "It offered the most value for the price."
The Zamans are among the first wave of residents moving in at Long Beach's newest luxury apartment community. gallery421 features 291 new homes and the best premium amenities in Long Beach. Located on West Broadway, just north of Ocean Boulevard, gallery421 offers a business and conference center with Wi-Fi and teleconferencing, billiards room, card room and even a special dog grooming room.

Models are open now; first move-ins are scheduled for June.
"We conducted extensive local consumer research to determine what type of community amenities and residential features most appeal to the active lifestyle enjoyed by Downtown residents," said Frank T. Suryan, Jr. Chairman and CEO of Lyon Communities, the buildings owner. "The way we live is evolving. Were listening, and gallery421 is our response." gallery421 is Lyons third upscale apartment community in Long Beach.
