One of our favorite South Bay events is back in town this weekend. The Beachlife Festival is 3 days of music, entertainment and community fun. We had the chance to go on Friday and it was fantastic as always. There is, of course, the music, which covers a lot of genres and there’s definitely something for everyone. There’s plenty of food and craft beer, booths of local companies, game areas with ping pong, and cornhole and more. The event has 4 stages and our favorite is always the lowtide stage as you watch from the sand of Seaside Lagoon so it’s really like a day at the beach. Visit the Beachlife Festival page for more information. Here’s the set list and times:
Rare 2 Bedroom Top Floor Ocean View Condo in The Village Set to Hit the Market
Due to hit the market in about a week, 610 The Village #317 is a very rare top floor 2 bedroom unit. Making it even more rare is a top floor location which always adds quite a bit of values to oceanview condos in The Village. Due to the layout and configuration of the buildings in The Village (600
addresses) each floor only has two 2 bedroom units so they just don’t come available very often. With a 3rd floor location it means it’s just about as close to the water as the condos get. The units are just a bit under 1,000 square feet and have a nice open layout. As with all of The Village the grounds and amenities, including the use of the neighboring Ocean Club facilities, are fantastic.
610 The Village #317, Redondo Beach CA – $1,100,000

Latest Condo Sale in The Village in Redondo Beach Breaks the Record
We sell quite a bit in The Village in Redondo Beach and think that between the location, low HOAs and the amenities that it’s a great value.
We’re happy to report that the latest condo sale of 630 The Village #312 was the record sales price for any one bedroom condo that we’re aware of in The Village. The $700,000 purchase price was the first time a unit had sold in the $700s. All of the one bedroom condos in The Village are the same size and layout so it really comes down to location (higher floors and further west are always more valuable) and whether the home is extensively remodeled. This one had it all. The condo was on the top floor and was one of the furthest west in the buildings so it offered some of the best views available. It was nicely remodeled and in nice shape but not as extensively remodeled as some other units so this is definitely an indication of where the prices may be headed. It was listed for $650,000 (which was definitely low for top floor) but $700,000 was an impressive record The previous high sale was $675,000 for a first floor unit (which is amazing) but it was the furthest south building in The Village so this was a very rare first floor view.

King Harbor Boat Parade in Redondo A Great South Bay Holiday Event
The holidays in the South Bay are just awesome. While we don’t exactly have the chance of a white Christmas, the various cities still offer an
abundance of events that really give you that small town community feel….and what could be better for the holidays?
From the Manhattan Beach holiday pier lighting and fireworks, to the tree and pier lighting on Pier Plaza in Hermosa, to the Riviera Village Stroll, Santa Clause cruising the streets and more.
One of our personal favorites due to it only being possible along the coast, is the King Harbor boat parade in Redondo Beach. Some boat owners simply go all out and it’s a unique and fun way to celebrate the holidays when you live on the coast.
Dress warm as it’s often chilly (for Southern California) but there are food trucks, cocoa and coffee to keep you warm.
