The Hollywood Riviera

Exploring the Hollywood Riviera in South Redondo Beach

Welcome to the Hollywood Riviera

Casual & active coastal lifestyle

The Hollywood Riviera is an ideal place to call home for many reasons but certainly high on the list is the location.

Sitting between the beach and the hills of the Palos Verdes Peninsula, the Riviera gets the best of both worlds.  It’s just a short walk to the beach but the sloping hillside location makes for some tremendous ocean views and beach breezes.  The area actually extends all the way to the ocean as one of the premier streets, Paseo De La Playa, has a number of spectacular homes with large properties extending to the high tide line along Torrance Beach.   While the beach and the views are certainly a highlight, there’s plenty of reasons that the neighborhood is ideally situated.  As it’s on the border of the South Bay and the peninsula it’s a bit removed from the busy feeling of some other South Bay cities but close enough to enjoy it all.

Riviera Village shopping and dining in the Hollywood Riviera

Just down the street is the very charming shopping and dining area known as Riviera Village.  From weekly farmers markets, to holiday festivities to the appeal of strolling past the shops and restaurants on a summer evening.  It’s a wonderful small town feel with an abundance of places to visit.

Beyond the Riviera Village is the Redondo Pier area and King Harbor.  Offering a fishing pier, a variety of restaurants and bars, whale watching boats, kayak and paddle board rentals and more, this area really epitomizes the beach lifestyle.  Famous landmarks like Old Tony’s with it’s crows nest upper bar with endless views of the ocean feel more like being on a ship than in a restaurant.  Other popular spots are Kincaids, The Bluewater Grill, Shade Hotel, the Portofino Inn, R-10 Social House, Naja’s, and the Cheesecake Factory overlooking the harbor and boats.

Just up the hill are the various shopping centers and charming areas of Palos Verdes including Malaga Cove, Lunada Bay and more.  Palos Verdes is also a great place to take a hike or go for a bike ride.

For outdoor activities the area doesn’t disappoint.  Take a jog or  ride on the oceanfront bike path that extends all the way from Torrance Beach to Redondo, Hermosa, Manhattan and all the way to Santa Monica.  The area also happens to be the beach volleyball capital of the world with courts seemingly everywhere.  If the water is your thing, there is great surfing all along Redondo and Palos Verdes, snorkeling and diving off of PV or exploring the Redondo marine canyon.

Large shopping centers are a short drive away and include the South Bay Galleria, the Del Amo mall, Manhattan Village and plenty throughout the area.    For additional dining options explore the charming downtown areas of Manhattan Beach, Hermosa Beach and pier plaza, and the Old Torrance downtown area.

417 Paseo De La Playa Redondo Beach

Highest Sale Ever in the South Bay at $22,650,000 Happens to Be In the Hollywood Riviera

In 2018 the highest on market residential sale took place at 417 Paseo De La Playa.  We wrote several articles when it first hit the market as well as when it sold.  Although it was one address it was really two incrdible parcels of land with two stunning homes being sold as one.  With over 62,000 feet of oceanfront lot it was most definitely a legacy property and one that likely won’t be duplicated anytime soon.  While there are a few properties currently on the market in the $22,000,000 range, one at 1901 Manhattan Ave in Hermosa Beach and the other at 3001 The Strand in Hermosa Beach, there have only been 3 other homes that have sold in the rarified air of $20,000,000.

417 Paseo De La Playa was an incredible home with unblockable views not only of the ocean, but of both Palos Verdes and the coastline as well.   The homes offered over 10,000+ square feet of living space with just about all of it having stunning views.  Built in 2005 the homes offered resort style grounds with a massive pool and spa deck overlooking the Pacific.  The listing agent was Chris Adlam of Vista Sotheby’s International Realty.
