Riviera Village – The Heart of South Redondo and the Hollywood Riviera

Welcome to Riviera village in the hollywood riviera

If you’re looking for a classic beach downtown area and Hermosa and Manhattan are just too crowded, take a trip to the charming Riviera Village in South Redondo Beach.

The Riviera Village features great locally owned shops and restaurants, a very pedestrian friendly feel and sits just a few blocks from the beach.  It has a distinct retro feel of beach towns of old.

Riviera Village offers a charming collection of over 300 eclectic shops, restaurants and services.

Stroll the tree-lined streets or people-watch at one of the sidewalk cafes. Relax in an open environment where Redondo Beach sea breezes keep your shopping and dining cool.

Farmers Market, Fridays 3 to 7 pm

The Riviera Village Farmers Market is a great spot to pick up everything you need for a great picnic at the beach, Saturday night dinner with friends, or relaxing Sunday brunch.  Friday farmer’s market has loads of fresh produce, fruit, and a wide selection of prepared foods, including olive oils, jams and jellies, and snacks.   Grab some local food and head to the beach for a sunset picnic.

Third Thursdays

Enjoy shopping after dinner as selected stores stay open late on the third Thursday of every month. Live music and a drawing for Village gift baskets add to the fun.

Restaurants and dining

While we try to keep our website udated, restaurants sometimes come and go and there may be new ones not on the list or ones that have closed.  Please visit the Riviera Village website for the most up to date list.

1800 PCH Redondo Beach – Small Town Community Charm

Unique Community at 1800 S PCH in Redondo Beach

By Keith Kyle1800 PCH Redondo Beach

One of the more unique communities in Redondo Beach and the South Bay is located at 1800 S Pacific Coast Highway.  It is a relatively new complex with more updated finishes and layouts but what makes it unique is the setting above and what’s below.  The community sits above retail and restaurant areas with a huge subterranean parking garage below.  The parking is split between guest use and resident use (with the resident parking behind a gate).

The main level consists of individual detached homes (technically townhomes) arranged among colorful gardens, brick walkways, gazebos and more.  Designed to offer the  true community feel of the beach communities of the 40’s and 50’s, each home has a unique look but all share a similar Cape Code styling to give the community a sense of uniformity, while offering a level of individuality not found in most planned unit developments.

The complex has 98 homes ranging from 3 bed/3 bath with 1,497 square feet to 41800 PCH Redondo Beach bed/3 bath homes with 1,836 square feet and many options in between.     Other than the slightly odd parking situation, which feels more like a condo than townhomes, this is one of my favorite complexes in the South Bay.  Residents seem to love the neighborhood feel and location not to far from the ocean and walkable to Riviera Village.   As part of Redondo Beach, the residences also attend Redondo Unified School District and offers fantastic and highly ranked schools K-12.

Recent prices have ranged from the high $1,200,000s to around $1,450,000

So What’s the Easiest Way to Search for Homes?

What's the easiest way to search for homes in Redondo?

By Keith Kyle

We’re contacted by buyers all of the time looking for homes in the South Bay and Redondo Beach.  Often times they have been searching on their own, scanning daily through the Zillows and Redfins of the world.  Much of the time when they come to me they’ve just given up on searching for themselves….too much information, too much work….well that’s what Realtors get paid to do and contacting an experienced local agent can make a home buyers life far more simple.

Local Realtors not only can set up a fully customized home search for you, but for the most part it’s a fairly automated system so even if you’re just looking or curious, any good realtor should be happy to help.  Even the timing of these update emails can be customized so you’re notified monthly, weekly, daily, or if you’re timing is immediate, realtors can even notify you the minute a new home hits the market.  There is simply no easier way to search for homes and there should never be any obligation on the buyers part.

If we can help in any way, provide us some information about your ideal home and your timing and we’ll take care of the rest and create a custom search for you.

721 and 727 Esplanade Redondo Beach

Home of the Week – 721 Esplanade Oceanfront in the South Bay

By Keith Kyle

There are many condos along the oceanfront Esplanade in Redondo Beach with great views.  The area has a number of larger complexes on the west side of the street that overlook the beach and ocean, but due to the architecture, location, and proximity to the neighboring buildings, views are sometimes limited.  This latest listing at 721 Esplanade, known as Oceania, is about as good as it gets.
721 Esplanade - Oceania 721 Esplanade

Sitting oceanfront in the northern side of the building, the unit overlooks a single family home (granted a spectacular single family home at 717 Esplanade for sale just south of $13.0M) .  Given the location in the building, even the side bedroom (which would have no view in most buildings) has a pretty spectacular Redondo/King Harbor view.  While the current price of just under $1.2M seems a bit high to us for a non penthouse unit, it’s been nicely updated, has large rooms, and offers one heck of a view.  Given the location of the building, the location of the unit, and the condition, it may appeal to a number of people looking for affordable luxury.   The Oceania building, along with the neighboring 727 Esplanade, sit higher on the bluff than other buildings as well adding to the expansive view.
