The two ZIPs hold different stock. Most condo sales are in 90277, the south side with the Esplanade buildings and the harbor area, where condos sold at a median of $889 per square foot. North Redondo, 90278, had only nine condo sales in the period, so its median can swing widely; its 47 townhouse sales, mostly newer two- and three-unit buildings on single lots, are the bigger story. For comparison, Redfin's Los Angeles County condo median was $644,414 in September 2026 alone, a single month that may still be revised.
Best areas to buy a condo in Redondo Beach
The examples below are recent sales from public MLS records we opened on October 30, 2026. They show the range, not a list of what is for sale today.
The Esplanade: oceanfront condo buildings
The Esplanade runs along the bluff in South Redondo, lined with mid-rise buildings from the 1960s and 1970s. In the oceanfront Surfrider complex at 565 Esplanade, built in 1971, a 718-square-foot 1-bedroom sold for $820,000 in 2026; dues were $568 a month and the building has an oceanfront hot tub and secure entry. At 727 Esplanade, built in 1974, a 1,632-square-foot 2-bedroom sold for $2,400,000 on January 30, 2026, with dues of $834 a month. Older oceanfront structures mean the balcony and building reports matter most here.
Hollywood Riviera and the Seacrest area
At the south end of the city, toward Torrance Beach, smaller buildings from around 1960 trade below Esplanade prices. A 973-square-foot 2-bedroom on Paseo de la Concha in the Seacrest community, built in 1960, sold for $784,000 in November 2025 with dues of $490 a month. On Paseo de la Playa, a 1962 2-bedroom of 1,399 square feet sold for $1,360,000 with dues of $850 a month. Check whether the parcel is in Redondo Beach or Torrance, since the area straddles the line.
North Redondo townhouses
North Redondo's small lots are often built as two or three attached townhouses with a small association. At 2105 Mathews Avenue, a 1978 townhouse of 1,964 square feet in the Mathews Townhome Association sold for $1,099,000 on April 6, 2026, with dues of $350 a month. At 2005 Mathews, a new 2025 front-unit townhouse of 2,357 square feet sold for $1,845,000 with dues of $300 a month. These homes behave more like houses than condos: private garages, no shared pool and very small budgets.
Artesia Boulevard: newer complexes with amenities
On Artesia Boulevard in 90278, Breakwater Village at 2750 Artesia, built in 2007, is a gated complex with a heated pool, fitness center and clubhouse. An 860-square-foot 2-bedroom there sold for $610,000 on February 13, 2026, with dues of $407 a month. Complexes like this are among the lower entry prices in the city.
Central Redondo: Camino Real and older buildings
Between PCH and the eastern side of the city, streets such as Camino Real have larger 1970s condo buildings with elevators and shared pools. A 1,549-square-foot 3-bedroom at 1108 Camino Real, built in 1971, sold as-is for $550,000 on May 29, 2026, with dues of $645 a month. Its listing disclosed water damage, termite and mold remediation and balconies needing proper sloping and sealing. That sale is a reminder that a low price can reflect building problems the association has yet to fix.
Is it wise to buy a condo in Redondo Beach now?
It depends far more on the building than on the market. Condo prices in 90277 fell 4.8% in a year while townhouses rose, and the median condo took 50 days to sell, so buyers have time to read the documents and negotiate (Redfin, three months to September 2026). Much of the condo stock dates from the 1960s and 1970s, and the city's median home was built in 1973 (Census ACS), so the condition of the building is the biggest risk.
Balcony inspections in Redondo Beach buildings
California's SB 326 (Civil Code 5551) requires condo associations to have wood-framed balconies, decks, stairways and walkways more than six feet above ground inspected by a licensed engineer or architect at least every nine years. For an oceanfront building exposed to salt air, ask for the inspector's report and any repair plan. Our California balcony inspection law guide explains the rules.
Insurance for a Redondo Beach condo
Ask what the association's master policy covers, whether it has earthquake coverage and how much the deductible is. You will also need your own HO-6 policy; see our California homeowners insurance guide and California earthquake insurance guide.
Financing a Redondo Beach condo: warrantability and payments
Warrantability of Redondo Beach condo buildings
Lenders review the building as well as the buyer. Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and FHA rules look at owner-occupancy, any single owner holding many units, litigation, reserves and deferred maintenance. A building with pending structural repairs or a lawsuit may be non-warrantable, which means fewer lenders, a larger down payment or a higher rate. Ask your lender to review the HOA questionnaire early.
Monthly payment on a Redondo Beach condo
At Freddie Mac's 30-year average of 7.24% (week of October 29, 2026), 20% down on the 90277 condo median of $984,971 is $196,994, and the $787,977 loan costs about $5,370 a month in principal and interest. Add about $821 a month in base property tax at 1% of the price, your HOA dues and HO-6 insurance. Ask your lender whether the building and the loan size qualify for conforming financing.
HOA fees and other costs for Redondo Beach condos
The 2025 and 2026 sales above show dues from $300 to $850 a month. The smallest North Redondo associations charge the least, while older oceanfront and amenity buildings charge the most. Dues alone tell you little: a building with low dues and thin reserves may levy a special assessment later.
- Property tax: 1% of your price plus voter-approved debt. See our Los Angeles County property tax guide.
- Transfer tax: Redondo Beach charges $2.20 per $1,000 and the county $1.10 per $1,000, about $3,250 combined on a $984,971 sale (Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder). Our California transfer tax guide covers who pays.
- Special assessments: ask the association for any assessment approved or under discussion, especially after a balcony or roof report.
- Parking and storage: confirm in the documents which spaces and storage are deeded or assigned.
Our California HOA laws guide lists the documents a seller must provide.
