Residents enjoy quick access to the vibrant arts scene, local galleries, and the popular beachfront promenade that defines Sand City’s laid‑back lifestyle.

Studio apartments typically fall in the $2000 range, making them an attractive option for solo renters seeking a blend of convenience and coastal living.
