Village Palos Verdes – Oceanview Townhomes in the Hollywood Riviera

Village Palos Verdes in the Hollywood Riviera

Oceanview townhomes in Redondo Beach

By Keith Kyle

One of the more affordable ways of finding an ocean view home in the Hollywood Riviera is the largest complex in the area known as Village Palos Verdes.  Located just east of Palos Verdes Blvd and west of Calle Mayor, the complex is just a short walk to Torrance Beach and the charming shopping area of Riviera Village.  There are 180 units in the complex and due to combination of the staggered layout and the hillside location, many/most of the townhomes have some type of ocean views.  In general the units facing Palos Verdes Blvd have the best views, but they also deal with overlooking a fairly busy street.  Units are either 2 or 3 bedrooms usualy with 3 baths and priced ranged in 2014-early 2015 between the mid to high $600,000s up to just under $800,000 for the larger homes with better views.

Each unit has a two car garage.  The complex had long been problematic in that the siding for all buildings had needed replacing for a very long time and the spector of a pending special assessment kept many buyers away.  The work has since been done and the complex looks fresh and appealing.  HOA fees are generally in the mid $400s but vary somewhat depending on the unit.  The complex offers two pools and is a short walk to the beach, and has an abundance of shopping and dining nearby.  It’s an ideal location.

Where Have all the Ocean Front and Ocean View Condos Gone?

Although the housing inventory has been low in Redondo Beach for almost 2 years now, the market for and ocean view Village condos is almost non-existent. Popular condo complexes such as The Village, the Seascape buildings, and various oceanfront buildings on the Esplanade are nowhere near the normal inventory levels. According to realtor Keith Kyle, “It’s really been months since there’s been anything new. There are currently a few places that have been on the market for some time now, but the few new listings, if priced anywhere near where they should be, disappear quickly.”

“These homes offer the iconic South Bay beach lifestyle and are are highly sought after, often by professionals that travel extensively, local retired or semi-retired people looking for that vacation beach feel, or those priced out of nearby townhomes and single family homes.”

The inventory has continued to drop to nearly a trickle with only 2 condos on the market as of this writing.  Both are in the Seascape buildings behind King Harbor and the Redondo Pier area.  The homes often offer the real feel of living on vacation as many have great views and some offer terrific amenities.

Paseo De La Playa homes for sale

Two Big Oceanfront Home Sales in the Hollywood Riviera on Paseo De La Playa

By Keith KyleSouth Redondo homes

Monthly home sales median prices can often be skewed by a few big numbers and October will certainly reflect that with two homes selling on the oceanfront street of Paseo De La Playa in the Hollywood Riviera.

The first sale was located at 406 Paseo De La Playa which is actually the non ocean front side of the street, but due to it’ location there are no homes on thewest side of the street and most of the ocean views are unblocked and panoramic.  The home was a very nice contemporary/modern design with large windows to allow for floor to ceiling views.  With 4 bedrooms and 3 1/2 baths the home sold for a sizable $3.380,000 which is a number not generally seen on the east side of the street.

ML#:   SB14186042 
Property Type Single Family Home
Price:   $3,380,000 
Price Per Sqft:   $946.78 
Square Feet 3570
Lot Size   6725 sq ft
Bedrooms:   4 
Baths:  3.5

The second home was located oceanfront at 605 Paseo De La Playa and sold for a sizable $4,300,000.  The home was a very original condition 1962 built home and for all intents and purposes this was a lot sale which sets a new price point for lot value in this highly sought after strip of land.  The homes on this side of the
street have enormous lots over 20,000 feet but much of the land is a fairly unusable cliff/bluff.  They were originally on leased land but many of the homeowners have bought out the lease at one point or another.   One of the appealing aspects of this home was that it had a trail leading down to the beach and water which is fairly unique and almost impossible to do these days due to stringent restrictions by the California Coastal Commission.

Property Type Single Family Home
Sales Price   $4,300,000 
Price Per Sqft:   $1,352.63 
Square Feet 3179

There is currently two additional oceanfront home on the market and actively for sale.   The first is  located at 617 Paseo De La Playa, Redondo Beach CA 90277.  As with most of the homes along Paseo, it’s been updated but still somewhat original.  Offering unbelievable views this will certainly be someone’s coastal dream house.

The second home is a palatial estate offering 7 bedrooms, 7 baths, over 7000 feet of living space on an almost 26,000 foot oceanfront lot.   The home is located at 433 Paseo De La Playa.
