Transparent Coastal Living in Surf City USA

Finding a quality 2-bedroom apartment in Huntington Beach shouldn't require navigating endless layers of corporate bureaucracy, dealing with slow third-party property management entities, or paying surprise monthly junk fees.

HBPads was founded with one clear mission: to provide a privately owned, meticulously upgraded, and honestly managed beachside sanctuary. Located at 1601 Alabama St, our boutique four-unit community is designed specifically for active coastal lifestyles, remote professionals, and roommate layouts seeking premium value near the sand.

Meticulous Craftsmanship

We personally oversee the modern remodel of every single 2-bedroom floor plan. By integrating luxury-level finishes, we ensure your home stands up to active coastal wear while actively cutting down your utility costs.

At $2,600 per month, we issue one single, clear monthly lease rate for the entire apartment home. Standard water and trash services are completely included. There are zero hidden administrative surprises.

Beach-Proof Hardwood Floors

Standard apartment carpets quickly trap moisture, allergens, and endless beach sand. We intentionally replaced all flooring with durable, easy-to-clean hardwood surfaces to make beach clean-up completely effortless.

Acoustic Peace of Mind

Coastal living brings street traffic and vibrant weekend energy. We installed thick, upgraded dual-pane windows specifically to dampen outside noise, allowing remote professionals to live and work in complete silence.

Our space maximizes independent privacy and shared economy. With spacious storage, updated kitchens, and a quiet four-unit footprint, it is engineered specifically for roommates, couples, and active Huntington Beach lifestyles.
