If oceanfront is what you’re looking for…..501 Paseo De La Playa

By Keith Kyle

I’ve been fortunate to represent a few clients on purchases or sales along Paseo De La Playa in the Hollywood Riviera and the locations is nothing short of spectacular. Paseo De La Playa is the oceanfront street that connects Redondo Beach with the beginning of the Palos Verdes Peninsula and offers a lifestyle not found in many places.

The recent listing of 501 Paseo De La Playa is no exception. This 5 bedroom, 3 1/2 bath home sits high on the bluff and offers mesmerizing views of the ocean, Palos Verdes and the beautiful coastline from Redondo to Malibu.

Redondo Beach’s House of Mirrors

The saying goes, those who live in glass houses….what about those that live in mirror houses?

I’ve seen many houses in my day and haven’t always agreed with the sellers choices but I recently saw a house unlike anything I’d seen before. The home, located at 606 Esplanade #1, is a front unit townhome with great ocean views, an ideal location, and loads of potential….but…..

In it’s current state it’s more like a carnival fun house than something you would expect in a beach house. From the moment you walk in you are surrounded by mirrors. Every wall, every closet, every corner is mirrored. You can’t walk into a bathroom or bedroom without seeing yourself reflected on every surface of the room. It’s truly incredible and just a little dizzying.

Although it probably wouldn’t take much to turn the home into something fantastic, it’s hard to notice anything other than your reflection with the current situation. I’ve seen mirrors added to beach homes to reflect the views, or add some light, but when every surface is mirrored its like being in a carnival funhouse.

It’s not hard to see why the listing agents chose to only post one picture as it might be impossible to get any pictures without the photographer’s reflection…hundreds of times. In general the home has great potential. The rooms are large, it offers a great ocean view, the kitchen living room have great light with sit down ocean views, but at the moment between the mirrors and the price, it’s going to be a tough sell. 606 Esplanade #1 in South Redondo Beach

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.

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.

What’s the Difference Between North and South Redondo Beach?

By Keith Kyle

When most buyers come to me they know that they’re interested in Redondo Beach, but don’t know much about the various parts and the differences in the neighborhoods. While there are a number of different neighborhoods and real estate “areas” the big distinction is between North Redondo and South Redondo.

So what’s the difference?

The physical dividing line between the two is 190th Street and Anita, but in reality the differences are much more than just the separation of the street. The “feel” of North Redondo and South Redondo are the most significant difference. North Redondo sits east of Manhattan Beach and Hermosa Beach with no beach to call it’s own, while South Redondo has the prototypical “beach” feel and incorporates the areas of King Harbor, Redondo Beach, the Redondo pier and the beachfront street of the Esplanade.

Both north Redondo and South Redondo have a variety of housing options ranging from condos to mansions and everything in between, but when people often think of “Redondo Beach” they think of oceanfront and oceanview homes and those are only found in South Redondo.

The tradeoff is home prices and values. In general, homes in South Redondo are more expensive and more valuable than similar homes in North Redondo, and it’s really all about the proximity to the beach, and the “beach” feel. While condos are a bit rarer in North Redondo, home prices generally start in the mid $500,000 for a smaller condo or townhome up to well over $1,500,000 for a larger home on a larger lot. Home values can start in the mid $300,000 for a condo in Brookside Village and can reach to over $10,000,000 (which is very rare) for one of the few oceanfront estate style homes on the Esplanade.

A Number of Condos Listings Hit the Market in Seascape One Redondo Beach

By Keith Kyle

There’s been a definite lack of inventory in the world of ocean view and ocean front condos in Redondo Beach over the past 18 months. Prices have risen dramatically as inventory dipped to record lows and demand for the “vacation” style feel of complexes such as the Seascape buildings, The Village and condos on the Esplanade have continued to grow. At least in one complex there’s been a higher than usual number of homes coming on the market in recent days. Seascape One is located in the 200 block buildings of The Village (which is unusual in itself as it’s actually on Catalina). As of July 18th there are 3 units for sale in Seascape One. Of the 3 2 offer a interior garden view (this is the only Seascape or Village building offering interior facing units) and one offers some pretty significant ocean and harbor views. Built in 1978 the condos are fairly ideally located just behind King Harbor and walkable to the pier, the beach, and the shops and restaurants of the King Harbor area.
