Hermosa Beach, a city in Los Angeles County, California, has a population of approximately 19,500 and is located in the South Bay region of the greater Los Angeles area. It is one of three Beach Cities: Hermosa Beach is bordered by the other two, Manhattan Beach to the North and Redondo Beach to the South and East. Of the three Beach Cities, only Hermosa Beach owns its own beach. The other two cities' beaches are owned by the county of Los Angeles. The wide flat beach makes Hermosa Beach one of the most popular places to play beach volleyball, from professional to amateur. The Strand, which stretches North into Manhattan Beach and South into Redondo Beach, is a popular place for walkers, joggers, biking and sightseeing. The city itself is relatively small, extending only about 15 blocks...

My Social Media Guru is Andrea Revenant of 3rd Street Tattoo in Hermosa Beach, California. She is also my youngest daughter. Gen Y at its FINEST!  I learn so much by her example!   The Kid is a Natural! Dustin Luther was my Numero Uno "blog-rules" guy for many years...but let's face it. He's getting old! Time for some new blood! If your Social Media Guru is OVER 30...well as Jack Weinberg said it best "Don't Trust Anyone over 30!" Dustin taught me all about not deleting anything, once it's up it's "carved in stone" and you lose credibility if you delete what you don't like and only leave up what you do like. Well...apparently NOT SO! My Andrea will delete me so fast I hardly remember I posted something on her facebook page. She's a "MOM ZAPPER" AND an awesome example of protecting one's...

Inventory of luxury homes on the oceanfront street known as The Strand continues to sit relatively unchanged and has even increased as of late with a new corner lot listing in North Hermosa at 2444 The Strand on an oversized 6000+ foot lot coming on the market just under $8.0M.  The Strand homes currently for sale offer some very unique opportunities with several corner lot properties being offered which not only allows for added outdoor space on the walk street, but offers views from at least two directions instead of only the straight on view.  The corner lot homes are located at 3205, 2444, and 100 The Strand.  In general the higher the address the more desirable the location for several reasons.  In addition there are several oversize homes currently for sale with over 6000 feet loc...

I've lived and worked in Hermosa Beach for a very long time and it just never ceases to amaze me just how much I like this town.  What makes Hermosa Beach so unique, even when compared with it's neighbors Manhattan Beach and Redondo Beach, is the small town feel if offer while being part of such a metropolis like Los Angeles.  Yesterday offered a series of races for kids and adults and it was hard to walk 50 feet in the Pier Plaza area without running into friends and colleagues.  With one elementary school, one middle school, a quaint downtown area and the center of the social life, the beach and The Strand, it's just hard to beat.  As a Realtor is give the ability to truly believe in what I'm selling...buying a home here just isn't a tough sell.  Oh yea....the weather's not too bad ei...

Manhattan Beach and Hermosa Beach are built on sand. In the early days, old timers speak of walkways disappearing, small structures sliding and the sting of the sand. The dunes were a major problem. Some were 50 feet to 70 feet high. In the late 1920s, developers from Hawaii made a deal to supply Waikiki Beach with Manhattan Beach sand. The sand was loaded onto Santa Fe Railroad cars and transported to the harbor in San Pedro and then onto ships or barges. This continued for almost ten years. A steady wind whipping across the barren dunes made life miserable for the first hardy pioneers. One of them, Mrs. Dorcas Ingram, set down her views for posterity. "But my inmost being shrank from the greeting chill and dank of a wind forever blowing o'er the sand dunes of Hermosa." Many of the ear...

As both a parent of 2 school age kids in Hermosa Beach and a Realtor who understands that schools greatly impact home values in our community, I attended the most recent school board meeting in which the topic of discussion was how our small school system could not last long in this current environment of cutbacks.  One of the big complaints by the many parents that attended the meeting was that there hadn't been a good resource to better understand what was going on.  As many parents were there because we simply didn't know what the problem was, let alone any possible solutions. As a response, one of the attendees immediately went home and created a website.  Visit http://www.savehermosaschools.org/ to get a handle on the problem, the various solutions, and hopefully an ongoing discuss...

While the effects of the market slow down and minor rise in interest rates can be felt throughout the Hermosa Beach housing market, the greatest impact has been in the condo market.  With very high inventory and a very limited number of buyers, the condo market has been very slow for most of 2010 as even well priced properties have a limited demand.    Currently there are 18 condos on the market of which there are 3 shortsales and 2 bank owned properties which is much higher than the avererage on single family homes in Hermosa.  There are a very limited number of condo complexes and you can learn more by visiting our Hermosa Beach condo tour.  Many of the condos including the 1720 Ardmore The Apple Tree, and the 1600 Ardmore The Commodore are ideally located both near the beach and near...
