From all of us at The Village Redondo Beach.com, Keith Kyle Homes and Vista Sotheby’s International we wanted to wish you and yours a happy Cinco De Mayo celebration. The gale force winds are making it a tough beach day, but I’m sure you can find a way to enjoy Cinco De Mayo 2024!
Record breaking sales are not uncommon in our areas values just seem to keep going up….and often quickly.
But there are record breaking and record shattering sales and this was the later. The previous highest price ever for a top floor condo in Seascap 2 was $1,650,000 for 110 The Village #501. Not surprisingly that was only a few months ago.
110 The Village #503 was a rare top floor penthouse unit. There are a limited number of penhouse units so there’s only a sale or two on average. The penthouse units not only had the advantage of higher elevation, hence bigger views, but the penthouse units enjoy a loft that adds about 400 extra feet compared with most units.

This oceanview condo had been nicely updated and upgraded over the years. The spacious kitchen features quartz countertops, newer white cabinetry, stainless steel appliances and more.
Both bedrooms and baths were on the main level (so only stairs involved are up to the loft) and primary features a bit of an open view and lots of light.
The condo had last sold in September of 2021 for $1,450,000.
The newest listing to hit the market in the Seascape and Village area of Redondo Beach is a nice but smaller, 2 bedroom condo overlooking Czuleger Park.
The home is listed with Alex Smith of eXp Realty.
Unlike some of the oddly shaped configurations in the 110 and 120 buildings these “side” units have a bit more of an open and wide layout. The home features a nice wrap-around deck.
Kitchen features bar/counter seating, stainless steel appliances, and separate in-unit laundry room.
This single level condo features engineered wood floors throughout other than kitchen and baths giving it a nice updated and flowing layout.
Seascape 2 has some resort style amenities like heated ocean peak swimming pool, multiple jacuzzis, small gym, and saunas!
We post alot about home maintenance and getting your home ready to sell, but this weekend we celebrate our real home. We are so fortunate to live at the beach and near the ocean and have the grandeur of nature just outside our windows and doors. From all of us at Thevillageredondobeach.com, Vista Sotheby’s and Keith Kyle homes we hope we can all do our part to keep our home in good shape.
Happy Earth Day.
The latest condo to sell in The Village in Redondo Beach was a first floor unit at #110 that sold over list price. The home was listed at $730,000 and just closed at $737,500. We think that the seller did well on this as the home was in fairly original condition with some fairly dated flooring and likely work to be done by the new owner.
The condo was listed by Cari Corbalis & Forrest Graham of Vista Sotheby’s International Realty.
One of the really nice features of the 640 building (and the 630 building) is that it has two levels of parking underneath, meaning every floor is basically the equivalent of a level higher in the other buildings. Despite being on the first floor, this unit is roughly the elevation of a 2nd floor unit in the other buildings. Higher elevation means bigger views and isn’t that what we’re here for?
Another benefit to the location is that only first floor units can have floors that are not carpeted. While the current floors are tile which gives it a pretty dated look and feel, you can keep as is or install wood floors that would make all the difference in the world. You can’t do that on floors 2 and 3.
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.
