Looking for single family home on a large lot….TRW in North Redondo
By Keith Kyle
One of my favorite areas in North Redondo Beach is known as the TRW tract. It’s named this as it’s nearby the form TRW building that graces the skyline of the South Bay (it actually is the skyline) nearby Manhattan and Redondo Beach. The building is now Northrup Grumman but the name given to the neighborhood long ago remains the same in local real estate circles. Many engineers from TRW originally lived in the neighborhood which is the reason for the name.
What makes this specific part of Redondo Beach unique is a combination of large lot sizes and zoning that generally only allows for single family homes. This zoning, along with numerous streets with only one way in, gives the area a very family friendly community feel with parks and schools within walking distance (as well as work for some Northrup employees). In addition most homes are still “reasonable” sizes for the lots with minimum “mansionization” that’s overwhelmed some nearby areas. The TRW tract has still retained it’s 1940’s type coastal charm.

The Charming Neighborhood of The Avenues of South Redondo
Classic beach town feel in the Avenues of South Redondo Beach
By Keith Kyle
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.
