Oceanfront condos at the Sand Castle in South Redondo
If you happen to be in the beachfront or oceanfront condo market in South Redondo Beach there are definitely some choices for you as there are now 4 condos for sale just in the Sand Castle building which is located at 615 Esplanade. The configuration of the Sand Castle requires a bit of info as there are two buildings so most views are unbelievable but some are limited. The front (beach fronting) building has floors 1-4 so other than a few 1st floor units that are somewhat blocked by the sloping terrain in front, the units in this building are really oceanfront. The rear building offers floors 5-8 with the 5th floor being blocked considerably but the roof of the front building. The 6th floor has great ocean views but not really direct sand views. So higher isn’t necessarily better in the Sand Castle, but every unit has some true ocean views.

The newest additon to the beachfront condo market is a good one. If truly feeling beachfront and oceanfront is the priority, the condos in 721 and 727 Esplanade are tough to beat. Unfortunately units rarely come up in either. This newest unit is on the 4th floor and the views are staggering. You feel more like youre on a cruise ship high above the waves than you feel like you’re in a condo.
The condo is listed by Martha (Mimi) Alonso with RE/MAX Estate Properties.
The home shows on the tax records as a 3 bedroom but listed as a 2 bedroom + den/office. The lower bedroom is spacious and private.
The main level offers soaring ceilings with massive windows to capture the light and the incredible views out front. Main level also features the galley style kitchen, oceanfront living and dining room as well as the office and laundry closet.
The upstairs loft suite, accessible via a narrow spiral staircase, doesn’t quite feel like the primary due to it being somewhat open to the room below, but it offers a huge closet, bath and nice ocean views. This level also features a private patio on the roof top deck (no views unfortunately)
The home slightly dated but we’re not sure that really matters as the features that feel a bit older don’t matter much when the views are what you’re paying for.
The amenities of Riviera shores are limited, but the complex does have a jacuzzi and sauna.
The condo had been listed in 2019 for $1,600,000 but did not sell and was eventually pulled off of the market.

The newest additon to the beachfront condo market is actually not new, but relisted. If the address sounds familiar it’s because it was on the market last year. The home was pulled off of the market late 2023 and in somewhat of an unusual strategy they’ve raised the price from the previous $1,650,000 (that didn’t sell)
The condo was listed by Susan and Michael Freeman of Compass
The condo is beautiful and the living room and the patio are the highlights. Oceanfront living room has gotten a nice update with stacked stone fireplace that has a beautiful beach look. The layout is a bit unusual as there bedrooms and living spaces are on different levels, but spaces are all nicely updated and remodeled and the views are incredible. The ground level location makes for a very oversized patio to sit back, hear the sounds of the waves just outfront, and live the vacation lifestyle.
As mentioned the condo was recently remodeled and includes beautiful wood floors, quartz countertops, updated lighting, built ins,, gas starting fireplace with a floor to ceiling stone front. All with a coastal inspired color palette.
The condo last sold in 2020 for $1,325,000 with some, but not all, of the remodeling already done.

One of the biggest sales of the month in Redondo Beach was actually a 2 bedroom condo with only 1600+ square feet! Showing that it really is all about location, this penthouse condo was on the west side (truly oceanfront) in the Ocean Plaza building at 531 Esplanade.
The home was originally listed in late 2023 for a pretty unheard of price of $3,500,000. The price was reduced to $3,250,000 and after about 3 1/2 months on the market it closed at $3,200,000.
The previous highest price ever was $2,595,000 although the unit at #915 was listed at $3,999,000 at one point (not surprisingly it didn’t sell)
This condo was a penthouse unit situated in the Ocean Plaza builiding which is the tallest in Redondo. Most of the units in the building are on the north or south side so although the views can be impressive, they’re blocked in one direction or the other. That was not the case with unit 916. Situated on the front of the building this was truly beachfront living and every room in the condo has simply stunning ocean views.

One bedrooms are not all that uncommon in the Sand Castle at 615 Esplanade, but 2 bedrooms are rare and very special. The Sand Castle consists of 2 building each with 4 floors and the 2 bedrooms are only on the top floors. These penthouses not only mean nobody above, but windos are huge and given the view….that’s pretty special. Unit #401 is a penthouse corner unit in the front building. As the home offers a loft the living room offers soaring ceilings and incredible light.
The kitchen has been extensively remodeled with granite counters, white cabinetry and stainless appliances. The open layout means great ocean views from every angle. The first floor offered the beautiful primary and the second bedroom on the upper floor has a private bathroom and connects to the powder room with a large built-in closet and natural light through the brand new skylight with rain sensor.

We don’t often see condos for sale in the Surfrider building and oceanfront condos are even more rare.
That said we’re happy to report a new oceanfront condo for sale at 565 Esplanade #216 listed at $1,295,000. This is truly beachfront/oceanfront and views are unreal.
The condo has been nicely updated with newer kitchen with granite counters, stainless appliances, newer cabinetry. The home has tile floors which we don’t love, but that’s a matter of personal preference.
The only real amenity at the Surfrider is the oceanview jacuzzi, but with the beach just steps away…..who really needs more than that?
