Multiple Homes for Sale on Camino De Encanto…..Walking Distance to the Beach
By Keith Kyle
It’s not often that we see homes come on the market in the lower Hollywood Riviera neighborhood that’s west of Palos Verdes Blvd. Occassionally we see a home or two and more often than not, there is nothing on the market in this area. What makes this part of the Hollywood Riviera so great is that it’s walking distance to Torrance Beach and not far from the downtown shopping and dining area of Riviera Village.
That certainly couldn’t be further from the case at the moment as there are 4 homes for sale on Camino De Encanto in the Hollywood Riviera.
There are current 4 homes on the market and all are within a 1/2 block. This is pretty unheard of an probably not ideal for any of the homes as when buyers have options….they want to negotiate. Contact us for more information or visit our Hollywood Riviera homes for sale page to view all of the current lisitngs.
