Condo Spotlight – 721 Esplanade – Oceanfront Condos in Redondo Beach

By Keith Kyle

In our continuing discussions of oceanfront condos in Redondo Beach today we’ll spotlight the Oceania building at 721 Esplanade. As this is one of the furthest south of all the larger condo buildings views are often about as good as they get….especially on units that face NW. Oceania consist of 28 1 and 2 bedroom condos, all directly facing the ocean. Some of the units sit on the corner and enjoy even more dramatic views that extend from Palos Verdes to Malibu with the coastline and King Harbor in between.

HOA fees run around $315 a month (as of August 2014) but the amounts vary slightly. Oceania has a very nice sun deck but the building does not have a pool or spa. The building does have a small fitness room and laundry is common area with individual units not having W/D hookups. As of this post, pets are permitted according to the CCRs.

721 Esplanade sits as high on the bluff as any of the buildings so views are just about as good as it gets (it also has the best ocean front views of any parking lot we’ve seen).

Another very nice aspect to the location of Oceania is that it is a relatively short walk to the charming shopping and dining area of Riviera Village near the Hollywood Riviera.

Currently there is one beautiful corner unit for sale and while still for sale can be seen here.

Home of the Week – 721 Esplanade Oceanfront in the South Bay

By Keith Kyle

There are many condos along the oceanfront Esplanade in Redondo Beach with great views. The area has a number of larger complexes on the west side of the street that overlook the beach and ocean, but due to the architecture, location, and proximity to the neighboring buildings, views are sometimes limited. This latest listing at 721 Esplanade, known as Oceania, is about as good as it gets.
721 Esplanade - Oceania

Sitting oceanfront in the northern side of the building, the unit overlooks a single family home (granted a spectacular single family home at 717 Esplanade for sale just south of $13.0M) . Given the location in the building, even the side bedroom (which would have no view in most buildings) has a pretty spectacular Redondo/King Harbor view. While the current price of just under $1.2M seems a bit high to us for a non penthouse unit, it’s been nicely updated, has large rooms, and offers one heck of a view. Given the location of the building, the location of the unit, and the condition, it may appeal to a number of people looking for affordable luxury. The Oceania building, along with the neighboring 727 Esplanade, sit higher on the bluff than other buildings as well adding to the expansive view.

709 Esplanade – One Wacky (and Ideally Located) Oceanfront House

**Please note that this is an older post and this beachfront home sold in 2015 and then again in 2023. Believe it or not it’s back on the market 2 months after selling last. Now listed at $11,900,000. Take a look at 709 Esplanade Redondo Beach CA 90277.

7/20/24 – By Keith Kyle 709 Esplanade Redondo Beach

The South Bay is definitely not a “seen one, seen them all” real estate market. Homes are often as unique as the owners that built them. 709 Esplanade is definitely one of those homes. When we first saw this home we were fairly shocked to see a price tag of $9,900,000. Despite being a very large home at a seller stated 9200 feet, it’s a home needing an abundance of work to appeal to most buyers. It’s been listed, cancelled and relisted a few times with the current offering at a somewhat more reasonable $6,995,000. They’re also banking on taking a pretty wacky house and adding a pretty wacky situation as it’s listed with one of TV personalities from the West Side. The house itself was clearly custom designed and decorated with the most eye catching feature being seemingly 9000 feet of pink marble floors. Pink hued fountains, frogs, mermaids, multi colored mosiacs and dark and heavy accests and more are found throughout the home. Since originally listed the home has been cleared out which helps quite a bit, but we still feel this price is on the higher end given the work that needs to be done. That said, the size and the beach front location is almost as unique as the home itself and some buyer may feel that the good outweighs the unique.

The Charming Neighborhood of The Avenues of South Redondo

Classic beach town feel in the Avenues of South Redondo Beach

By Keith Kyle 1063 avenue C

If you’re looking for beach charm and proximity to the beach, the Avenues in South Redondo Beach may be just what you’re looking for. The Avenues are the lettered in South Redondo Beach that are basically bordered by Knob Hill to the north, Esplanade to the west, Prospect to the east and PCH to the South. Many of the homes are original beach bungalows built in the later 1940’s and early 1950’s and the streets have that great old school beach feel. The areas west of PCH are flat streets with the ocean sitting at the end while homes east of PCH sit on hills and dunes and often offer some great views. What make the neighborhoods so great is that they feel like something from the past. Although many of the original homes have been torn down and replaced by much larger homes, the area still has a beach feel and a very different sense than similar areas in Manhattan and Hermosa Beach. It doesn’t hurt to see the sparkling ocean at the end of each street. Rare is the home that is priced below $1,000,000 and depending on views, age, and proximity to the beach, homes generally range from just over $1.0M to the mid $2.0M price point.
