1500 Esplanade Redondo Beach

1500 Esplanade Oceanfront Condos Now on the MLS

By Keith Kyle

1500 Esplanade Redondo Beach CA

**Update – This post was from 2015 and these original builder homes have sold**

For months now we’ve seen the construction happening at 1500 Esplanade.  These oceanview condos are ideally located on the Esplanade with stunning views stretching from Palos Verdes and Catalina to Malibu. Sitting on the east side of the Esplanade, they offer unblocked and unblockable views.   Realtors and buyers were eagerly awaiting the final product but unfortunately the developer had decided that he would only deal directly with buyers and did not want buyers to have their own representation.  While several units are already sold, that strategy has taken an obvious turn as 4 of these condos are now active on the local MLS.  The units range between 3000 ft and 32oo feet and offer either 3 bed/3 bath or 4 bed 3.5 bath.  Currently the units are priced at $4,000,000.  Contact us for more information or to set up a showing of these beautiful homes.

615 Esplande - Sand Castle oceanfront condos

Oceanfront Condos for Sale at 615 Esplanade Redondo Beach

Beachfront living at the Sand Castle

615 Esplanade Redondo Beach CA 90277

By Keith Kyle

Located oceanfront at 615 Esplanade, the Sand Castle represents the prototypical beachfront condo in Redondo Beach.  Consisting of two separate buildings, one truly oceanfront and the other sitting above and behind, the Sandcastle offers some incredible views and all that comes along with oceanfront living.  Dazzling sunsets, whales and dolphins out front, cool ocean breezes and that wonderful smell of the ocean.

Information and condos for sale for all of the beachfront condos of the Esplanade in South Redondo.

Built in 1971, the Sand Castle definitely shows some signs of aging as it’s constantly subject to the salty spray but as it’s block wall construction it’s a very rugged feeling building and  the location just can’t be better.

615 Esplanade Redondo Beach oceanfront condos for sale

The Sand Castle has 96 units, with the majority being 1 bedroom/1 bath and 719 square feet.  The layout of these units is long and skinny with the bedroom furthest east, kitchen in the middle and the living room facing the ocean.  This makes for some truly spectacular views, even from the kitchen.  Due to the block wall construction, many of the units have a rather industrial feel but some have been updated considerably.  The one bedroom units can start in the high $700,000s with 2 bedroom penthouse units well over $1,300,000 depending on the size and the location.  The front building enjoys incredible oceanfront views from every level (the lowest floor has a few units views partially blocked by the walkpath out front).  The rear building has partial views (horizon only) on the 5th floor (technically the first floor of the rear building) and the 6th floor (again technically the 2nd floor of the rear building) had bigger views but the sand and wave views are blocked by the front building.

The top floor of both the front and rear building offer a larger layout with 1 bed plus a large loft and 2 bathrooms.  Due to the very high ceilings they offer a sense of space that far exceeds the actual additional square footage.  The size of the units isn’t entirely clear with some units larger than others and the tax records not being completely accurate.  The layout is generally the same as the one bedroom with the addition of the stairs and loft.

HOA dues vary somewhat but as of this article they ranged between $416 and $450 ish a month.  The Sand Castle does not have a pool or spa, but there is a pretty great place to swim directly in front.

We hope that this video may give you a better sense of some of the oceanfront buildings and complexes along the Esplanade in Redondo Beach.  Due to the cities zoning, the most affordable way of living oceanfront is along the Esplanade in buildings such as the Surfrider, Ocean Plaza, San Simeon, Sand Castle and more….visit our oceanfront condos in Redondo Beach to see the current listings along the water and homes for sale.

Homes we love – 605 Esplanade – Oceanfront Charmer

By Keith Kyle

As realtors are people to we have our biases and preferences like everyone else.  I’m partial to beach bungalows that capture that original charm of our wonderful coastal community.  Many of these homes have been torn down with mini mansions replacing them and that’s the unfortunate reality of land value being so unbelievable.

**This home has sold** Visit our Esplanade and Redondo Beach oceanfront homes site to see current oceanfront homes for sale.

One of my favorite stretches of homes is a block of the Esplanade, Redondo Beach’s oceanfront address.  The majority of the homes along this street are larger condo complexes or townhomes but a few, original single family homes still exist.  605 Esplanade is one of them and evokes thoughts of idyllic Cape Cod living.  Sitting on the bluff, this home offers stunning oceanfront views with crashing waves and dazzling sunsets.  Unlike homes on The Strand in Manhattan and Hermosa Beach, what this home offers is space and an actual yard.  It certainly could use some cosmetic updates but we hope that someone will embrace the coastal charm and make this their oceanfront dream house.  Contact us for a private showing.

The Village In Redondo Beach Real Estate Market Update

The real estate market in The Village, oceanview condos in South Redondo Beach, just couldn’t be hotter!  One bedroom homes have skyrocketed in value in just the past few months.  See the recent postcard to the sellers and homeowner in The Village.  The Village is a collection of condos and townhomes offering studio, 1 bedroom and 2 bedroom units, many with great views and all located just walking distance to the beach and the Redondo Beach Pier.

And then there were 4 – New Listings on the Ocean Front Street of Paseo De La Playa

In this market with very low inventory and many homes selling the minute that they hit the market, it’s very unusual to see 4 homes for sale on the most sought after street in the Hollywood Riviera.

The 4 homes for sale sit on the oceanfront street of Paseo De La Playa, just above Torrance Beach.  Many residents know the street as it offers great views and is a favorite of cyclists heading up to Palos Verdes.  2 of the homes, the palatial gated estate located at 433 Paseo De La Playa, and 617 Paseo De La Playa are on the west side of the street meaning unblocked and unblockable views of the ocean, Palos Verdes, and the coastline all the way to Malibu.  The primary reason they are still available is the pricetag with the sellers asking $16,000,000 for the home at 433 and the the home at 617 listed for $4,495,000 which is considerably higher than the most recent sales of similar homes.

The remaining 2 homes are fairly new to the market as of January 6th.  Both sit on the east side of the street so they offer minimal coastline views but are still ideally located with a short walk or bike ride to the beach and the Riviera Village.  The home at 630 Paseo De La Playa is a rather pricey $1,888,888 for 1325 square feet and minimal views.  It’s market as a potential site for a 2 story dream home but as the home is in the Torrance hillside overlay area that might be a very tall task.  The home for sale at 528 Paseo De La Playa is a bit more appropriately priced with almost 1800 square feet.
