Hermosa
Beach Condominiums
As a specialist
in Hermosa Beach, I have many clients contact me in their
search for a condo in Hermosa Beach. With prices well below
neighboring Manhattan Beach, a condo in Hermosa is the perfect
situation for many buyers looking to own instead of renting,
while still being able to be near the beach. Unfortuntately
part of what makes Hermosa such a great place to live, the
small town atmosphere, makes finding a condo in the area a
bit difficult. Unlike Redondo Beach with endless condominium
complexes, Hermosa Beach really only offers a few possibilities,
and most in the same general location.
The two
most prominent condo complexes are the Apple Tree and the
Commodore. Located in the heart of downtown Hermosa Beach,
they are ideally located for those looking to be near the
beach, shopping, the gym, and the nightlife of Pier Avenue.
Some units on upper floors even have partial ocean and sunset
views. The units on the west of the buildings are generally
the most valuable with views, plenty of light and ocean breezes.
As with many places built in the 1970s, some units have been
beautifully remodeled while some are still in their original
condition. Prices in these buildings generally range from
the mid $400K range for a 1 bedroom, to over $700,000 for
larger 2 bedrooms with views and western exposure.

Another
option in Hermosa Beach is the Victorian, located near the
corner of Prospect and Artesia at 2411 Prospect. Condos in
the Victorian generally start in the high $300,000 range and
are priced a bit lower due to the greater distance from downtown
and the beach. Unlike the Commodore and Appletree, the Victorian
offers 1,2, and 3 bedroom units.

Closest
to the beach and the one's with the most "townhome"
feel would be the homes located at 446 Monterey. Just a few
blocks from the beach, they have a more low-key feel with
large outdoor spaces, patios, pools and somewhat of a Cape
Cod architecture. Most are 3 bedroom units, with prices ranging
from the low to mid $700's to over $900K.
