Neighborhood Spotlight – Charming El Segundo California

by

Welcome to El Segundo California.   Offering a small town charm in the South Bay and Beach Cities.

Why Do People Live here?

El Segundo is a small coastal community equally renowned for its quaint, small town atmosphere as well as a thriving business environment that caters to some of the region’s most prestigious corporations. El Segundo is a very popular place to purchase a home due to the small town atmosphere, proximity to the beach, and award winning schools.  Some of small town activities include the little league parade, 4th of July community party, shuttle to North Manhattan Beach, Christmas Parade and the El Segundo Farmers market on Thursdays from 3-7 on the 400 block of Main Street.  There is also some great craft beer breweries.  The schools are great and the city embraces the concept that it’s like living in “Mayberry” from the old Andy Griffiths show.

Interested in finding homes for sale in El Segundo CA? Click that link to find all the currently available homes in this area of Torrance.  The most affordable place to live in El Segundo is in one of the condo buildings on main street or the large condo complex known as Pacific Sands which is on Imperial Ave (pretty ideal for commuters as it’s the closest area of the South Bay to the rest of LA.)  There area also some newer and smaller townhome complexes along with the rare new construction communities of Waypointe townhomes and the brand new single family homes in Pacific Landing.  Another great complex that is often believed to be in El Segundo but actually sits in adjacent Hollyglen of Hawthorne CA is 360 South Bay.

What’s the Neighborhood Like?

El Segundo is a unique town with some of the various streets and neighborhoods feeling very different from others.  The challenge is that El Segundo is really an island in terms of residential.  It’s surrounded on all sides by industrial areas meaning the most charming streets and neighborhoods are the ones closest to downdown and the closest towards the center of town.  The residential areas are pretty much to the northwest corner and it seems the further in you go, the more it really feels like a neighborhood.  The outer areas have an abundance of townhome and condo complexes.  The town has a very charming small town America feel with a great downtown area focused around “Main Street” of course.

What’s Going on Nearby El Segundo?

El Segundo is pretty ideally located near just about everything.  The city has Dockweiler Beach which is a beautiful stretch of sand and unlike nearby Hermosa and Manhattan, Dockweiler offers some unique elements….there is one stretch of beach that has on sit firepits making for a series of bonfires (and a party atmosphere) on summer nights and also has RV parking allowing for a much larger access.  While Manhattan and Hermosa have homes on the beach, El Segundo does not making it much more accessible.  Exercise enthusiasts can enjoy the Marvin Braude bikepath that extends from Palos Verdes up to Santa Monica and the beach even offers hangliding.  Shopping and dining options are everywhere and in addition to the Main Street downtown area a number of higher end shopping centers have recently opened including The Pointe.

Looking for Work?

One great feature of El Segundo is that it’s pretty ideal for workers…whether in the town or on a commute.  As El Segundo is the furthest north of the cities in the South Bay it’s a FAR shorter commute than in most other areas.  In addition there are some large corporations in and around from Mattel, Northrup Grumman, Raytheon, Aerospace and some international airlines.  There have also been some new office/work buildings put up off of Rosecrans making for a vibrant and energetic work spaces for small and medium sized companies.

What Schools will the Kids Attend?El Segundo schools

The schools are, without question, one of the primary reasons that El Segundo is in such demand and why prices have risen so dramatically over the past 10 years.  There are two elementary schools, one middle and one high school.  All are extremely highly rated.  El Segundo schools are award winning and offer a great level of parent and community participation.   In general all of the schools are right in the neighborhood and walkable.

Why Lawndale? One of the South Bay’s More Affordable Neighborhoods

by

Lawndale CA doesn’t always have the greatest reputation compared with other South Bay cities and neighborhoods.   Some streets and neighborhoods have a bit of a busier commercial feel and the schools are often not as highly rated as neighboring Redondo Beach and Torrance.  What Lawndale may lack in some areas it certainly makes up for in affordability.  We put together a chart showing average prices compared with North Redondo Beach which sits just west of Lawndale and offers some similar housing types.  One of our favorite areas in terms of combining great neighborhood feel with reasonable home prices is El Camino Village in Lawndale.

Some key numbers to consider are the average “for sale” price over the past 15 months in lawndale was $642,000 with the average “for sale” price in North Redondo being $1,103,000.  Average sold prices are very similar with North Redondo being almost double.

Price per square foot is $436 in Lawndale with $569 in North Redondo Beach.  So bottom line is that Lawndale CA real estate is a great option for those looking for an affordable area in the South Bay.

Looking for a Way to Get in the Holiday Spirit? Candy Cane Lane at Torrance’s Sleepy Hollow

by

We love lights! We love the holidays! One of our favorite ways of getting in the holiday spirit is to visit the holiday lights of the “Candy Cane

Lane” area of South Torrance. Known as Seaside Ranchos in South Torrance the rest of the year, this neighborhood really shines (quite literally) during the holidays. Cars line up and pedestrians take to the streets to enjoy this incredible display of holiday lights and Christmas decorations. It really is something to behold and it’s worth waiting in the line of cars. Even better is doing it by foot but obviously that’s weather dependent.

There are quite a few traffic restrictions this time of year and generally speaking the only way in is westbound on PCH at Robert Road. If you want to walk into the community your best parking options are on PCH or Calle Mayor. The lights are also fairly close to the parking lot at South Torrance High School.
