**This post was originally from 2017**

In the Redondo Beach real estate market, where inventory is extremely low, one oceanfront building is certainly bucking the trend. The Ocean Plaza, at 531 Esplanade in South Redondo Beach currently has 5 condos for sale…all with great ocean views. Although the building sits ocean front, the bulk of the condos are on the side and the views can vary depending on the floor and how far east in the building the home sits. Generally the higher the floor and higher the unit number the better. See a video overview of the ocean front condos of the Esplanade.

1500 Esplanade Oceanfront Condos Now on the MLS

By Keith Kyle

1500 Esplanade Redondo Beach CA

**Update – This post was from 2015 and these original builder homes have sold**

For months now we’ve seen the construction happening at 1500 Esplanade. These oceanview condos are ideally located on the Esplanade with stunning views stretching from Palos Verdes and Catalina to Malibu. Sitting on the east side of the Esplanade, they offer unblocked and unblockable views. Realtors and buyers were eagerly awaiting the final product but unfortunately the developer had decided that he would only deal directly with buyers and did not want buyers to have their own representation. While several units are already sold, that strategy has taken an obvious turn as 4 of these condos are now active on the local MLS. The units range between 3000 ft and 32oo feet and offer either 3 bed/3 bath or 4 bed 3.5 bath. Currently the units are priced at $4,000,000. Contact us for more information or to set up a showing of these beautiful homes.

615 Esplande - Sand Castle oceanfront condos

Oceanfront Condos for Sale at 615 Esplanade Redondo Beach

Beachfront living at the Sand Castle

615 Esplanade Redondo Beach CA 90277

By Keith Kyle

Located oceanfront at 615 Esplanade, the Sand Castle represents the prototypical beachfront condo in Redondo Beach. Consisting of two separate buildings, one truly oceanfront and the other sitting above and behind, the Sandcastle offers some incredible views and all that comes along with oceanfront living. Dazzling sunsets, whales and dolphins out front, cool ocean breezes and that wonderful smell of the ocean.

Information and condos for sale for all of the beachfront condos of the Esplanade in South Redondo.

Built in 1971, the Sand Castle definitely shows some signs of aging as it’s constantly subject to the salty spray but as it’s block wall construction it’s a very rugged feeling building and the location just can’t be better.

The Sand Castle has 96 units, with the majority being 1 bedroom/1 bath and 719 square feet. The layout of these units is long and skinny with the bedroom furthest east, kitchen in the middle and the living room facing the ocean. This makes for some truly spectacular views, even from the kitchen. Due to the block wall construction, many of the units have a rather industrial feel but some have been updated considerably. The one bedroom units can start in the high $700,000s with 2 bedroom penthouse units well over $1,300,000 depending on the size and the location. The front building enjoys incredible oceanfront views from every level (the lowest floor has a few units views partially blocked by the walkpath out front). The rear building has partial views (horizon only) on the 5th floor (technically the first floor of the rear building) and the 6th floor (again technically the 2nd floor of the rear building) had bigger views but the sand and wave views are blocked by the front building.

The top floor of both the front and rear building offer a larger layout with 1 bed plus a large loft and 2 bathrooms. Due to the very high ceilings they offer a sense of space that far exceeds the actual additional square footage. The size of the units isn’t entirely clear with some units larger than others and the tax records not being completely accurate. The layout is generally the same as the one bedroom with the addition of the stairs and loft.

HOA dues vary somewhat but as of this article they ranged between $416 and $450 ish a month. The Sand Castle does not have a pool or spa, but there is a pretty great place to swim directly in front.

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.
