Big Weekend for Redondo Beach Open Houses

By Keith Kyle

During a week in which most other South Bay cities are only offering a very limited number of homes to see, the open house schedule for September 20th and 21st in Redondo Beach has plenty to offer….and plenty to tour. This weekend sees more than usual with several advertised open houses. See the list below for Redondo Beach and the South Bay open houses. If you’re seeing this post after the September dates please visit our South Bay open houses site for updated homes for sale and schedules.

July 2014 Median Home Prices for Redondo and the South Bay

July 2014 saw some big numbers in terms of both number of homes sold as well as median prices. Redondo Beach had 97 sold homes at a median price of just under $1,000,000 which is a pretty significant number for this coastal community. Most other South Bay cities also saw some significant year over year increases in prices with the exceptions being Torrance, Marina Del Rey and Playa Del Rey. To see the actual homes sales in each city visit our recent home sales price and information site.

Priced out of The Strand in Manhattan and Hermosa? Great Option in the Hollywood Riviera

By Keith Kyle

I get a number of inquiries from my site SouthBayOceanFront.com from buyers looking for a beach front home on The Strand in Manhattan Beach and Hermosa Beach. Many of these buyers are extremely qualified and have the ability to comfortably purchase multi-million dollar homes. The problem in today’s market is that values along the beach in Hermosa and Manhattan have gone up considerably in the past 18 months. There are currently 9 oceanfront single family homes on The Strand and 8 of them are priced over $10,000,000. That was a relatively unheard price point just 2 years ago and now there are several over $15,000,000.

So what is a $5,000,000 buyer to do?

Unfortunately homes becoming available in that range are probably a thing of the past, but there is an option not far and it may even offer attributes that The Strand can’t offer. The area is the Hollywood Rivera (about 10-15 minutes south) and there is a fantastic bluff top street called Paseo De La Playa that offers oceanfront homes, large lots that extend all the way to the beach (some fortunate homes have paths that access the beach directly from the home), and views not only of the beach, but Palos Verdes, the ocean, King Harbor, and coastline views that extend all the way to Malibu.

As of this post, there are 2 oceanfront homes for sale on Paseo De La Playa. The first is currently in escrow located at 605 Paseo De La Playa and is listed for $4,295,000. The second is an off market sale in which the owner is trying to sell it themselves at 617 Paseo De La Playa and the owner is asking $4,350,000.

The homes on Paseo were all originally on leased land with many of the former owners buying out the leases in the past and are now owned free and clear. Built in the 60’s and 70’s some of the homes are fairly original while many have been extensively remodeled.

Why Homes are More Expensive in South Redondo than North Redondo Beach

Why South Redondo Homes Cost More than North Redondo Homes

For buyers (and sometimes even sellers) unfamiliar with the differences in local market in the South Bay, Redondo Beach is just one single real estate market. In reality the differences between neighborhoods can be significant and home values and prices show a clear distinction between similar homes in North Redondo and South Redondo. The city has a number of distinctive neighborhoods but the main sections are broken into North and South and the dividing line is basically 190th Street. North Redondo is quite a bit less expensive due to the location as it sits behind Hermosa and Manhattan Beach so there are no homes with ocean views and the feel of the area is different as it’s not along the water. South Redondo ends at the beach and the ocean to the west and has a unique beach charm and homes often have great views. The recent listings and sales of very similar homes, both in terms of style, layout, size and new construction, make clear the differences in values.

Below is a map showing the general layout, location and dividing lines between north and south Redondo Beach

Areas 151-154 are North Redondo and 155-157 are South Redondo

Building Spotlight – The Village Condos in Redondo Beach

The Village condos and Townhomes - 610-690 The Village Redondo beach CA 90277

Studio, One and Two Bedroom Condos

By Keith Kyle

The Village in South Redondo Beach may just be the most affordable way of living near the water in the South Bay.

The Village condominiums and townhomes feature 323 well maintained units including studio, 1 bedroom, and 2 bedroom condos along with a few townhome style homes at the southern end of the property.

The Village offers resort style living and includes two beautiful pool and spa areas (one is for owners only, the other is owned by Ocean Club rental units but fully usable by the owners in The Village) a state of the art fitness center (again part of the Ocean Club but free access is provided to owners) several bbq areas, walk paths, access to the Redondo pier area and more.

Most units have ocean views, ocean breezes and are a wonderful place to call home…or a second home. Visit our 620 The Village site for pictures, videos, floorplans and more.

Village facts and figures

Well-managed 323 unit complex, with onsite-manager and maintenance staff
Gated Community
Financially strong HOA, with the most recent reserve study estimating reserve funding at 88% on 12/31/2013*
Continuous history of low HOA dues
A Legal Judgment, favoring The Village, specifies that Lyon Management Group cannot increase the monthly fee they charge the Village HOA for our access to the recreational facilities at the Ocean Club.** Long term, this helps to keep our HOA dues down.

What’s around the Village?

One of the nicest features to living in The Village is that you can park your car on a Friday and never need to get back in until Monday (or if you’re really lucky weekdays are not any different than weekends). There is so much to do and all within walking distance.
