I recently sold a home in the Victoria Knolls neighborhood of Torrance and was very surprised at just how few South Bay residents even knew it existed. Victoria Knolls is actually in the Walteria area of Torrance but has a very different feel due to the fact that it's so isolated and it's actually up on the hills of the Palos Verdes peninsula (see Victoria Knolls Map). The only way in and out is on a street named Crest, off of Crenshaw, which certainly gives it a sense of privacy and security. It's a fantastic area with a real neighborhood feel and might be an ideal place for buyers looking to live in a more unique area with some great new homes as well as numerous one story original homes. As it's up on the hill, many of the homes offer great views of the city and mountains and most homes are located on quiet, tree-lined streets. While the lack of peoples awareness of the area make for a bit more difficult situation when selling a house in the area, it makes for quiet and safe streets, and tranquility that's hard to find in the South Bay. Great schools, nearby Alta Loma Park, and well kept houses make it an ideal place to call home.

If your idea of a relaxing weekend is spending it with thousands upon thousands of beachgoers all dressed as if it were Halloween, then the Manhattan Beach Surfest volleyball tournament is for you. Starting Saturday August 1st Manhattan Beach is invaded by an endless parade of oddly dressed volleyball players and spectators. How can you beat high level volleyball with matchups such as the LA Lakers (with Sasha in the front row) vs team Magnum PI (Hawaiian shirts, mustaches, and Detroit Tiger hats required)....or the pro wrestling team (they bring their own wrestling ring) with Hulk Hogan and Andre the Giant battling against the Irish water polo team. What makes this tournament unique isn't the costumes or the crowds, but those factors combined with the level of volleyball with the top teams players coming from the AVP, collegiate all-Americans, and olympians.

The tournament starts on Saturday morning with top teams continuing on until Sunday. If you're looking to spend the day with 15,000 of your closest friends......find your way down to the Manhattan Beach Pier.

The real estate market has picked up in the Hawthorne neighborhood of Hollyglen lately as homes have become ever more affordable.
