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.

Golden Hills of Redondo Beach

Inventory, Home Sales, Pendings and Prices All Rising in Golden Hills of Redondo Beach

Unlike the adjacent neighborhoods of Manhattan and Hermosa Beach, the real estate market in the Golden Hills of Redondo Beach, just east of Hermosa has been somewhat unique in recent months.  Everything seems to be on the rise with the number of active homes for sale increasing, sales increasing, pending home sales increasing and prices on the rise.  The area is home to a rather unique type of single family home known as a “tall and skinny” in the local real estate world.  With lots dimensions at 25 x 100 and minimal setback requirements, most homes are only separated by 5 feet and is something not seen in many other neighborhoods. Read more about the pros and cons of Golden Hills Real Estate.  According to Redondo Beach real estate specialist Keith Kyle, “we’re seeing homes selling over list price, with multiple offers on a fairly regular basis and prices have rebounded considerably in 2013.”

Hollywood Riviera Home Prices On the Rise

The Hollywood Riviera real estate market has taken off in the past few weeks with a median list price of over $1.5M which is a fairly unbelievable number for an area with a median sales price of just over $1.0M for the past 4 months.  Included in these sold homes was the ocean front home at 623 Paseo De La Playa which sold for $2.625M and without that very unique sale, median prices would have been considerably lower.  What accounts for this incredible increase?

According to Redondo Beach specialist, Keith Kyle, it is a combination of a number of factors.  “The market has clearly changed in the past few months with inventory dropping and prices rising.  In addition the homes currently on the market just happen to be more upgraded and larger as sellers with luxury homes in the Hollywood Riviera have decided it is great time to list their homes.  One last factor is the dramatic reduction in the number of distressed sales.  As of a year ago distressed sales made up a sizable portion of the listings and are almost non-existent these days.”  Click here to view the most recent home sales in the Hollywood Riviera.

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.
