Redondo Beach 2 on a Lot Townhomes Explained

by

Something fairly unique to real estate in Redondo Beach is what’s known as two on a lot townhomes.  When most people think of townhomes they envision a row of identical looking homes with shared walls, lots of neighbors, and a big HOA.  Redondo Beach 2 on a lot townhomes are dramatically different and many buyers from out of the area have trouble wrapping their heads around what this means.

See the current two on a lot townhomes for sale

Simply put a 2 on a lot townhome is a property in which the owner “owns” their home but instead of owning the lot or land outright…they own a 50% share of the lot.  When many of the original homes were built in Redondo Beach, the homes often enjoyed great lots of 7500 feet.  The original homes were simply beach bungalows or small duplexes.  As these R2 lots began to dramatically increase in value they were often purchased by builders looking to increase their return by building two homes on the lot.  Technically considered townhomes, or even condos due to the fact that the land is “shared” by the members of the homeowners association, for almost all intents and purposes they look and feel like single family homes.  See also 3 on a lot townhomes” in Redondo Beach.

Whereas a standard single family home priced around $1,400,000 may be 3 bed/2 bath and about 1600 feet and built in the 1950’s, these detached townhomes are generally newer, nicer and larger and often have 4 bedrooms, 3 or 4 bathrooms, 2000+ square feet and the built within the last 15 years.  They also often have all of the luxury finishes, such as master suites with walk in closets and jacuzzi tubs, gourmet kitchens with granite counters and stainless appliances, hardwood floors, recessed lights and laundry rooms.  In addition they have attached garages and most have smaller yards.

Other than the architecture and often a shared driveway they really do feel like single family homes.  As the “association” is simply comprised of the two neighbors the formalities are often only shared insurance and shared landscaping.   Sometimes even those are handled by the separate owners and for all intents and purposes it lives like a single family home.  As the structures are not attached responsibilty for upkeep often falls on the individual owner which limits some of the usual “HOA” challenges and annoyances.  Keep in mind that the HOA can never be disolved, but are often so informal they exist in legality only.  Both front and back homes are generally equally sought after as the front unit is often brighter but sits in front of the driveway the rear unit uses, while the back unit often has a bit more sense of privacy and often has a slightly larger yard.

3 on a Lot Townhome – Redondo Beach Real Estate

by

One of the property types fairly unique to Redondo Beach is the “3 on a lot” townhome. When most buyers, especially those coming from out of the area, think of a townhome they picture endless rows of identical looking houses. Many buyers reach out to me looking for a single family home in the area, but unfortunately, can’t always afford single family homes in Redondo Beach. I often recommend that they consider a townhome as they’ll generally get nicer, newer, larger and better location for a lower price. Most of the time this idea is quickly rejected but once I show them the concept of a “two on a lot” or “three on a lot” they become far more interested. A great number of the lots in North Redondo are fairly large for the area at 50×150. These lots originally had some type of bungalow or duplex built in the 50s and many were long ago sold and knocked down. Due to zoning rules in Redondo Beach, what replaced them were most often townhomes.   A “3 on a lot” townhome is a building in which 3 units share the lot.

These 3 on a lot townhomes are always connected, unlike some 2 on a lot situation, with shared walls between the front unit and middle, and back unit and middle. The most common details of the units are:

  • Front Unit – usually has some type of front yard that, while technically often “common use” areas, they are generally used only by the front owner. The units often have square footage of 1700-1900, 3 bed, 2 1/2 bath, at least one balcony, attached garage and one shared wall (garage below and often living room above. Most often there are two bedrooms and 1 bath downstairs, with the master bedroom, living room and kitchen upstairs. These units are often the brightest but also front the street.
  • Middle Unit – The middle unit is often the least expensive of the three units due to the multiple shared walls and no yard. Square footage is often between 1700-2000 square feet and either has the same configuration as above, or often times has 4 bedrooms with 2 downstairs, master upstairs and a very small 4th bedroom upstairs. Living room is often smaller in the middle unit.
  • Rear Unit – Usually the most expensive as they almost always have some type of private yard in back. Configuration is often the same as the front unit, but usually some type of sliding doors/French doors from one or both of the downstairs bedrooms accessing the backyard.

One aspect that many buyers find difficult to accept is the fact that there is an HOA. Unlike large complexes with management companies, HOA board meetings etc., the HOA on a 3 on a lot can be very low key and sometimes not even active. As the 3 owners collectively own a portion of the land, the HOA cannot be dissolved but in many cases it is inactive. In general they are informal affairs with the minimal HOA fees (often around $175 a month) covering landscaping and shared insurance and each owner covering maintenance, and other items separately. As with any property not wholly owned there are possible challenges and frustrations as owners (just like neighbors) don’t always see eye to eye on fixes, repairs like termite work, roof fixes, etc. Overall the benefit of the townhouse concept is that the same price that may purchase a 1100 foot 2 or 3 bed 1 bath house in need of work, can purchase a 1800 foot 3 bedroom 3 bath townhome that’s far newer. Real estate purchases almost always involve compromises and priorities and depending on just what’s important to a buyer in Redondo Beach, a 3 on a lot townhome might be an ideal fit.
