Hey all, any recommendations for an honest car mechanic toward PV?

My husband I (25 years old) and our six month old are looking at spots in this area. Specifically we are looking in the couple of blocks closest to the ocean around Calle Miramar and riviera village. Any insight into what living in this area is like? Is this an area where we will find lots of families? We aren’t from the area so don’t have tons of opportunities to check it out before we move, any insight is appreciated!

Hi everyone,

I’m considering buying a home in North Redondo, particularly near the Greenbelt, and I’m trying to get a better feel for what it’s actually like living there.
It’s easy to evaluate the homes themselves, but much harder to understand what the neighborhood is like throughout the year.

A few questions:
What’s the neighborhood like on the Fourth of July? Are there block parties, BBQs, kids riding bikes, or is it mostly pretty quiet?

How is Halloween? Is it a popular area for trick-or-treating?

Do people decorate for Christmas? Since there are so many townhomes, I’m curious whether people still put up lights and decorations or if it’s fairly low-key.

Are there any neighborhood traditions or annual events that make the area feel like a community?

For those who live there or have lived there, what has your experience been? Does it feel like a place where neighbors know each other and kids spend time outside together?

I’m really trying to understand what day-to-day life is like beyond the real estate listings. I’d appreciate hearing both the positives and the negatives. Thanks!

Hi! My partner and I are moving down from Seattle and are seeking a private house, ADU, or apartment in the South Bay Area, especially Redondo Beach. Our budget is up to $3500 a month and we’re moving ASAP, so it must be available before August.

Must be pet-friendly (we have two kitties!), have dedicated parking, and in-unit washer/dryer. Other than that we’re pretty flexible!

Please let me know if anyone has any leads. Zillow has been a bit of a bust.

Thank you in advance!
