About Redondo Beach's The Esplanade

As part of our ongoing tour of South Redondo Beach real estate, today we take a look at one of the oceanfront condominium complexes in South Redondo Beach known as The Sand Castle. The Sandcastle is located at 615 Esplanade. The Sand Castle consists of two buildings with panoramic ocean views from both (the exception is the 5th floor which is actually the 1st floor of the rear building. The 5th floor does have views but overlooks the roof of the front building so no sand or wave views which makes that location more affordable and less valuable). The Sand Castle has 96 units of which most are 1 bedroom with 719 square feet. The layout has the bedroom in the back with the kitchen in the middle overlooking the living room in the front. As mentioned above most units directly overlook the sand and surf making this a great place to own as a beach house, rental unit, or vacation home.

There are a few larger units but sales are very rare with the last 2 bedroom selling in 2007 for $772,500 and a very unique 4 bedroom penthouse (was originally 2 2 bedroom unitsthat were combined) selling in 2010 for over $1.5M. The larger 2 bedrooms are only top floor units (both buildings) so views are unbelievable. One bedroom units have sold for a low of $335,000 for a bank owned on the 5th floor (limited views) to over $600,000 for a remodeled oceanfront unit.

Unlike Manhattan Beach and Hermosa Beach, Redondo Beach offers a much wider variety of housing options and living ocean front may be more affordable than you think. In this tour we'll take a quick look at the first 3 ocean front buildings on the Esplanade, the bluff top street overlooking the beach. In this tour we'll show you the 531 Esplanade building known as the Ocean Plaza, the 535 Esplanade building known as Casa Bahia, and the 565 Buildings known as the Surfrider. All were built in the 1970s with some condos for sale having been completely remodeled while others are fairly original. All three buildings have a limited amount of ocean front condos with the majority having partial ocean views.

I've been spending more time in Redondo Beach.  It has always been one of my favorite place to eat and shop, but since I have two Redondo Beach properties currently in escrow I am spending more time in this city by the beach.  Both the Redondo Beach condo and the Hollywood Riviera propertyare set to close escrow within the next two weeks.  I have an out of state buyer interested in the Beach Cities (Manhattan, Hermosa and Redondo) so I'm deepening my knowledge of the Beach Cities luxury market.

There's lots of luxury living happening in the Beach Cities and Redondo is no exception to the rule.  There's a new townhouse on the Esplanade for just over $2M.  With nearly 3,000 sq. ft. and rooftop deck the space and views are impressive.  Bike riding or hikes at the beach are within steps of the front door.  Gorgeous sunsets are a daily event.

There are over 200 properties currently for sale in Redondo Beach. Prices begin at $279,000 for a condo and top out at $3,900,000 for a single family homes. If you would like to explore the possibilities of living in Redondo Beach contact Norma Toering & Team.
