Redondo Beach is the largest of the three South Bay beach cities by population and offers the most diverse housing stock — from oceanfront condos and townhomes in North Redondo to single-family homes in South Redondo and the hillside neighborhoods of the Hollywood Riviera. Home values range from $1.1M for entry-level properties in North Redondo to $4M+ for South Redondo hillside homes with Catalina Island views. The city’s strong school district, beach access, and the King Harbor waterfront make it consistently competitive with Manhattan Beach and Hermosa Beach in terms of buyer demand. APLA Construction (CA Lic #1136359) handles construction and renovation throughout Redondo Beach.
The hillside neighborhood south of Torrance Blvd, bordering Torrance — spectacular ocean and Catalina views, larger lots, and some of the most desirable residential real estate in the South Bay. Values: $2M–$4.5M+. This is the premium renovation zone in Redondo Beach. Second story additions to capture views, deck expansions, whole-home renovations, and custom kitchens and primary suites are common. Redondo Beach hillside renovations can rival Manhattan Beach in investment level.
The streets south of Torrance Blvd and east of PCH — 1950s–1970s single-family homes on flat lots. Values: $1.4M–$2.5M. Strong mid-range renovation market. Kitchen remodels ($65,000–$130,000) and primary bath renovations ($60,000–$115,000) are the primary investment categories. ADU garage conversions are popular given lot sizes and the rental income opportunity.
North of Torrance Blvd, generally east of PCH — a more urban, denser character with condos, townhomes, and single-family homes. Values: $1.1M–$2.2M. ADU and kitchen/bath renovation investment is strong here.
Redondo Beach has its own building department. All permits go through the Redondo Beach Community Development Department. Key points:
ADU rental income in Redondo Beach: $2,300–$3,800/month for a 1-bed unit.
North and South Redondo mid-range: $62,000–$118,000. Hollywood Riviera high-end: $115,000–$210,000+. Redondo Beach is priced between Torrance (lower) and Hermosa Beach/Manhattan Beach (higher).
Yes. Redondo Beach follows California ADU law and has a straightforward ADU approval process.

The Hollywood Riviera is the premium hillside neighborhood of South Redondo Beach with panoramic ocean and Catalina Island views. Renovation costs here are in the Manhattan Beach/Hermosa Beach tier ($115,000–$210,000 for kitchens, $108,000–$205,000 for primary baths) because home values support that investment level. A second story addition in Hollywood Riviera to capture a better view can add $300,000–$500,000 to resale value.
