I’m often asked just what makes South Bay real estate so expensive? Well sunsets like this in Manhattan Beach and Hermosa Beach are certainly part of the reason. Ahh the price of paradise……
Just another typical July night in Hermosa Beach. This is a view north looking towards Manhattan Beach and the Manhattan Beach pier. Imagine this being your nightly view which is the reality for the ocean front homes of The Strand and Esplanade in Redondo Beach.
From spectacular ocean views to quiet family friendly streets, the neighborhood of the Hollywood Riviera has it all. Some neighborhoods lie right on the bluff with cool ocean breezes and a distinct beach feel, while others lie on tree lined streets and offer a sense of privacy and seclusion not common in the South Bay. Many homes have great views but there are no better views in all of the South Bay than the oceanfront homes of Paseo De La Playa
Experience the charm of dining and shopping in the Riviera Village, spectacular sunsets, and an abundance of outdoor activities in the Hollywood Riviera. With view protections in most of the area due to the “hillside overlay” this is one of the more unique areas in the South Bay with some assurance that the view the home has now will be the same view in the future.
Let us be your Hollywood Riviera realtors and experience our impeccable service, knowlege of Redondo Beach and Torrance, and the South Bay.
This is one of the more unique homes I have seen in quite a while. It was a custom build on an oversized lot with fantastic views and top of the line finishes and located just 2 blocks from the beach in the Hermosa Beach Sand Section. The house is absolute modern luxury with an abundance of open spaces to take advantage of the beach weather and ocean views. The home is listed by Nick Schneider of South Bay Brokers.

Manhattan Beach offers housing options from multi-million dollar mansions on the world famous “Strand” to wonderful cottages on tree lined streets. Manhattan Beach real estate is generally comprised of 5 very distinct “sections”. All of these neighborhoods are part of the award winning Manhattan Beach Unified School District but each has a very different atmosphere that appeals to people with varying priorities.
The sections are the Sand Section with many charming pedestrian only streets and the ever important proximity to the beach, the Tree Section with great family neighborhoods and tree lined streets, the Hill Section with breathtaking ocean views and breezes, the gated community of Manhattan Village, and the area east of Sepulveda Blvd known as East Manhattan.
