The Village in South Redondo Beach May Be the Most Affordable Ocean Views

The Village, located on Catalina Blvd in South Redondo Beach, is a condo complex just east of King Harbor. It offers some resort type amenities   with a hotel style pool and exercise facility, and is ideally located walking distance to just about everything. What’s perhaps the best aspect may be the prices. Each building consists of primarily 619 square foot one bedroom condos and due to the angular patios almost all have some type of ocean view.   Each building also offers 2 studios on the easternmost part of each floor, and 2 bedroom condos, which rarely become available, on the westernmost, ocean facing side of the buildings.  The Village consists of 6 larger 3 story (they’re actually 4 or 5 levels depending on garages but 3 floors of condos) buildings and 3 buildings with townhome type units.  According to Keith Kyle, one of the top Redondo Beach realtors that specializes in the area, “The Village is an ideal fit for buyers looking for a vacation type feel.  Most owners use the condos as a second home or as a beach rental as demand is always high for ocean view homes.”

Parking is located below each building (parking for each unit is not necessarily in the same building) and units can either have one or two spaces.  Laundry is common area located near the 1st floor garage in most cases.  Click here to see a map of The Village Condominiums and Townhomes.  Click here To see a video tour of some other ocean view and ocean front communities.

Hermosa Beach Pending Home Sales Reach 5 Year High

Hermosa Beach has long been one of the more sought after coastal communities with demand for homes in the small beach community always high.  Recent market conditions have created an even greater demand as inventory of active home listings has continued to decline while the few homes available quickly go into escrow.  The 31 homes in escrow or “pending” in June of 2013 is the highest number since 2007 and is helping drive prices up as demand continues to soar.

June saw 37 active MLS listings and homes for sale, 31 pending home sales and 18 closed escrows or sold homes. Visit our home sales page to see the homes sold in June 2013 and prices for the sold homes.  According to long time Hermosa Beach resident and top real estate agent Keith Kyle with South Bay Brokers, “This is an almost ideal climate for sellers with the usual summer demand in full effect due to buyers looking for homes in the Hermosa Beach school district, low inventory, historically low interest rates and prices continuing to rise.

Oceanfront Condos Abound On the Esplanade in Redondo Beach

If you dream of big ocean views, the sounds of the sea, and living by the beach….Redondo Beach may be an ideal place to consider.  Unlike neighboring Manhattan Beach, Hermosa Beach and Palos Verdes, with oceanfront homes meaning a multi million dollar price tag, Redondo Beach offers a far more affordable way of living at the beach.  Currently there are 6 condos that either offer ocean views or are ocean front in South Redondo.  According to top Redondo Beach realtor Keith Kyle, “Redondo Beach has very different zoning than Manhattan or Hermosa, which allowed for high rise complexes to be built in the 1970s.   This allowed for a much larger number of ocean front and ocean view homes which has kept prices far more affordable.  Below is a list of the current condos located in The Village, Seascape and the various buildings along the Esplanade, Redondo’s oceanfront street.

Take a tour of some of the buildings mentioned above and get a better sense of your oceanfront condo opportunities.

 

Gated community of Fusion South Bay

Fusion and 360 South Bay Hot Real Estate Markets

With inventory continuing to decline the condo and townhome markets in the Hollyglen communities of 360 South Bay and Fusion South Bay have continued their torrid pace.  Both complexes are located along Aviation Blvd in the area of Hawthorne known as Hollyglen.  Fusion South Bay was completed in 2007 and 360 South Bay began releasing units in the past 2 years, so both offer a very affordable way of getting new or newer construction in the area which is very rare in the South Bay.  According to Manhattan Beach realtor Keith Kyle “many home buyers in the area often start their search looking for homes in Redondo Beach and find that in the mid $400K -$550K range what they can afford is much older and smaller.  Fusion and 360 offer a similar location, great schools and a much lower price point.  Simply put you get much more for your money.”

The market has been very active with 8 resale units currently in escrow.  360 is still currently releasing new construction units and most are not on the MLS so there are a number of additional sales not noted below.  As of March 13th there are no active condos or townhomes for sale in Fusion but click below for the latest list of homes for sale as it’s continually updated.
