Oceanfront Condos on The Esplanade in South RedondoEsplanade condos

Living at the beach may be more affordable than you think as Redondo Beach zoning allows for larger ocean front condo buildings not seen in other areas of the South Bay.   At the moment there are far more oceanfront condos, townhomes and homes for sale then in recent memory.  The current homes range from 1 bed 1 bath condos in the Sand Castle, to one of the more impressive oceanfront homes ever to come on the market at 717 Esplanade.  7 of the current homes for sale are ocean front condos on the Esplanade with the bulk of the additional opportunities being single family or multi unit.  The home at 739 Esplanade is one of the more intriguing properties as it’s currently 3 separate levels, each with kitchen and baths that can be torn down with the ability to build townhomes, or a very large estate, but may also work as an owner occupied investment property with owners living in one of the 3 levels and renting the other two.

Reason Number 1458 that I love Living in the South Bay

There’s nothing like living in a place that others think of as a summer vacation spot.  I’ve lived in Hermosa Beach for over 20 years and it’s hard not to be inspired by such a beautiful place.  Just last week while taking a walk on the beach on one of the more beautiful days of the year we spotted these three whales just a few hundred feet off shore.  Just another reason why it’s good to live at the beach.

No Shortage of New Construction in Hermosa Beach CA

New Construction Homes for sale in Hermosa Beach CA

Well it looks like we’re back to a building boom with hardly a block in Hermosa Beach that doesn’t have some type of construction happening. The new construction is focused primarily in the highest value areas of the sand section with multiple new oceanfront homes being built on The Strand with other notable builds taking advantage of ocean view and ocean close lots. With land at such a premium in Hermosa it no surprise that when values rise in the luxury home market the builders start actively seeking lots.   Homes in Hermosa Beach

Hermosa Beach Sand Section Home Prices Reaching New Levels

Although median prices in a luxury market such as the Hermosa Beach sand section can vary dramatically due to one or two oceanfront home listings on The Strand, the median home prices for active listings has reached record highs.  The sand section of Hermosa Beach is the area closest to the ocean and is bordered by Manhattan Beach to the north, the streets of Valley/Ardmore to the east, and Redondo Beach to the south.  There are numerous housing options ranging from magnificent Strand homes, to “walkstreet” homes with an alley in the back but a pedestrian only sidewalk in the front, to endless ocean view condos, townhomes and single family.  In general prices are higher north of Pier Avenue.

According to local realtor and Hermosa Beach resident Keith Kyle with South Bay Brokers “the homes active on the market are almost all exclusively very high end luxury homes and we’ve reach a median home price never seen before.”  The current median home price for all types of active homes is at $3,749,000.  This in a town where the median prices have hovered in the $1.1M-$1.2M in general for the past few years.  There are many factors at the moment including a number of ocean front homes including 2666 The Strand, an oceanfront estate priced at a whopping $15,900,000 (incredibly it was raised from it’s original $13,900,000), 718 The Strand at $6,300,000 and 5 other homes priced over $4.0M with 3 walkstreet homes for sale.

North Manhattan – El Porto Real Estate

While the real estate market around the country was taking a hit, home values along the coast of the South Bay remained as stable as ever.  The “sand” section of Manhattan Beach   remained particularly strong as oceanview and oceanfront homes that are walkable to the beach are always in demand.  Home prices in the sand section (see map) are reaching unbelievable highs with full lot walkstreets in the 3-6 million dollar range, depending on age, condition and view.

While these homes are out of reach for most South Bay buyers, there is an area of Manhattan Beach that offers far more reasonable home prices.  The area is known as “north” Manhattan, although it’s more familiar to most as El Porto.  El Porto is the northernmost neighborhood of Manhattan Beach. Ideally located for commuters traveling to Santa Monica or downtown Los Angeles, El Porto offers close proximity to LAX, Marina Del Rey, the Westside and more. As El Porto lies on a fairly steep grade, homes in the area often offer stunning ocean and panoramic views from Palos Verdes to Malibu. One unique feature of El Porto is that it offes many half lots generally measuring 45×30 which allows for some more affordable housing within a block or two from the ocean.  Many of these homes are “legal non-conforming” duplexes with a 2 bedroom unit upstairs and a 1 bedroom or studio rental downstairs.  Homes in the area start in the mid $800,000 and depending on size, age, and views can go up to the $2,000,000+ range.  The area is ideal for people not needing a huge home, that love the beach and ocean, and want to shave off 15 minutes of their commute.  For surfing enthusiasts, it happens to front the best surfing beach in the South Bay.  If you are looking for an oceanview home in Manhattan Beach you may want to consider the El Porto.
