Here were are and it’s already June 4th. Summer is a few weeks away and many buyers are getting itchy in today’s market to make a play. But is there anything “affordable” out there right now? Let’s take a look at what’s for sale in the general Riviera/South Torrance/South Redondo Beach areas?
Hollywood Riviera (Area 128) - Under $700,000
The Riviera boasts 5 properties under the $700K mark - one single family home located on Pacific Coast Highway (the service street) and it’s listed for $689K and has 1132 sq ft, 3 beds/3 baths. There is one townhouse in the Village Palos Verdes complex (AKA - the “Brown Townhouses”.) It’s a nice looking, clean, end unit w/ a view too - for $699K. And last but not least, there are 3 condos - all located in the “Cote D’Azur” complex which is located right on the border between Palos Verdes and the Riviera. They range in price from $540K - $599K (there are other units for sale in that complex as well that are more expensive - typically those units are completely remodeled and/or have terrific views!) The complex itself offers a large pool, putting green area, underground parking areas, a private walk down to the Torrance…R.A.T. Beach. It sits on the bluff above the beach there..it’s quite a lovely location.
South Torrance/Seaside Ranchos Areas (Area 129) -under $700,000
In the Seaside Ranchos neighborhood there are 10 single family homes for sale under the $700K mark - a few of them are on Anza, a cute small one on Linda Drive and a few others. 2 townhouses - one for only $519,000 and has 3 bedrooms & 3 bathrooms. The other is newer construction - 1999 - and is listed for $670K. There are 5 condos in the South Torrance/Seaside area for sale all under $599,000.
South Redondo Beach (Areas 155-157) - Under $700,000

The condo market holds quite a bit to choose from - 32 condos that range from $329K for a 1 bedroom/1 bathroom over in Brookside Village to a nicely updated 2 bedroom condo at Catalina & Torrance Blvd for $685,000.

wonderful recap of the whole area of properties and values.
When I visit your site its like a visit to your home. I feel impressed by the order and calm of your green details and further by the knowledge you have on the area.
As one agent said “If I had a home in that area, I’d list with them.”
Your team has a wonderful thing to offer.
Thanks. Lynne Pope of Teamatthebeach.com
