The South Bay of Southern California includes several beach communities. Cultural centers abound, and recreational activities are seemingly limitless in supply. Each South Bay community offers a truly unmatched quality of life. Beaches are breathtaking, and nearby mountain ranges form a scenic embrace. From surfing to skiing, the south bay has it all. It is no wonder that, for an ever-increasing number of families. The cities in the South Bay are El Segundo, Manhattan Beach,Hermosa Beach, Redondo Beach, Torrance, Palos Verdes. The inferance is that these cities touch the water. All have a different unique size, shape, and feature of activity. The one consistant is to go see the sunset. The Sunset at the water calls out to everyone nearby to come stop for a short time and really be with the beautiful close of the sun on the ocean and sky.
Surfing, Swimming, sunning, dining, skimboarding, kite surfing, walking, and on and on.
Shopping at specific surf shops. One favorite is Beckers Surf Shop on Pier Ave. This is the place to buy surfboards, clothing and attire inc watches and sunglasses.
Parking here is not easy. Just a fact to consider.

My husband and son enjoy the local beach below.
The search and previewing of the condo market in Redondo Beach took me several hours yesterday. Camino Real and Prospect are cross streets with a heart shaped section of properties Called Brookside Village. The Prospect side has numbers in the 600’s and the Camino Real side has 800-900’s. It was a lovely search through the complex with a central Pool and Tennis court and lots of walk paths. Some “inside” units - that is where you go into a central hall have a feeling of apartments. The outside units along the parameter were lots more fun to me and felt more like home. The street noise was muffled by the dual paned windows. I will add a photo to this blog later today.
One of the upper floors sold for a price below the other asking prices. Because…the people were contingent on buying another property they wanted. Good deals are there for buyers in Redondo Beach and anywhere else right now. Put yourself in a sellers shoes. They are competing with REO, Foreclosures, and anyone else for sale. The seller has to be competitive. The REO’s are usually not in such great shape either. The banks are trying to figure out what to do and recasting loans as my last article states.
Finally I found a 3 bedroom for a 2 bedroom price. I have to hurry its only been on 3 days. So I will call the agent tell them we are coming and they will let the sellers know there is some action…..Such busy weekends. The buyers are off of work. Mothers day will be a trip, and guess what else? My buyers looking time has to work around the SURF!
Surfing is the healing art for everyone that discovers it. My husband and sons learned to surf in Hermosa Beach. Our grandaughter did the ROXY surf training. It is reaching out to women in greater numbers and of all ages! Hooray. I did try surfing in Kauai last month. I need some more practice. I was laughing so hard. I also didn’t know you go from hand to feet..not knees…I was on my knees like a baby crawling…and laughing.
