Hollyglen Hawthorne Real Estate Not Much of a Secret Anymore

By Keith Kyle

I’ve often told my clients that Hollyglen, a small pocket of Hawthorne that sits west of the 405 and north of Rosecrans, is a great alternative to Redondo Beach and Torrance.  It’s long been somewhat of a secret and even locals hadn’t heard of it.  One of the key things that changed that was the advent of the Wiseburn School District, a highly rated charter school system with very high test scores and some of the nicest campuses in all of the South Bay.

I’ve always liked Hollyglen as it has a very “West Torrance” type of feel with tree lined streets, homes that are well kept and updated, schools and parks within walking distance and a somewhat private feel due to the location.  Another aspect that makes it even more appealing is the proximity to freeways, major employers including Mattel, Chevron, Northrup and a number of other aerospace companies.

Recent home prices indicate that the secret is clearly out.  What had recently been a lower priced alternative to Torrance and even north Redondo, now is priced at similar numbers.  Recent sales show that the target prices for sellers is around $900 for an entry level single family.  There are occassional “deals” but those often receive multiple offers and end up well over list price.

Most homes in the neighborhood range between 1100 sq ft and 1400 sq feet with 3 bedrooms and 2 baths.  Most have been nicely updated but still have that original beach bungalow charm.

Palos Verdes Real Estate Explained – Community and Home Info

By Keith Kyle

Real estate on the Palos Verdes peninsula isn’t always easy to figure out. When people say Palos Verdes, or PV, it’s not always clear just what they’re talking about. With 4 different cities (really 5 if you include the unincorporated area that is actually called Palos Verdes Peninsula), multiple real estate areas often including more than one city, the entire area serviced by the Palos Verdes Unified School District, various zoning issues including equestrian areas and vastly different areas and neighborhoods (not to mention distinct climates)….how is one able to get a handle on the area?

The map below should help as it’s broken down into both cities and real estate “areas”.

The pink sections show Palos Verdes Estates and the corresponding real estate numbers used by realtors to break the areas down into similar real estate neighborhoods.  The orange areas show Rancho Palos Verdes which had an abundance of very distinct areas and neighborhoods.  The purple shows Rolling Hills Estates, green represents Rolling Hills (gated community with very large lots) and the yellow is the small pocket of Palos Verdes Peninsula.

506 Paseo De La Playa – One Funky House in one Spectacular Location

By Keith Kyle

**This home sold in 2014 and is no longer available**

Paseo De La Playa, the oceanfront street in the Hollywood Riviera, offers some incredible opportunities in the rare instances when homes become available.  These homes sit oceanfront on the bluff, offer huge lots, and some even offer a path down to Torrance Beach, an almost private beach due to the inaccessibility for most.  The homes along the cliff were primarily built in the 60’s and 70’s and most definitely have that Brady Bunch vibe…with a multi million dollar view.  Some homes have been extensively remodeled and updated but not the home at 506 Paseo.  It’s like stepping back in time with shag carpets, paneling, funky colors and more.  The home may be funky but it has limitless potential as the views and location are stunning.  This home needs a complete overhaul, and with the level of work we feel it’s significantly overpriced but for the right buyer this truly presents the opportunity to create a showcase home.
