It wasn’t long ago that a Torrance home in the million dollar range was a rarity….now it’s fairly commonplace. Currently there are 21 homes in the city of Torrance that are priced higher than this formerly elusive price. If you factor in homes in the homes for sale in the Hollywood Riviera, which has a Redondo Beach mailing address but is actually in the city of Torrance, there are actually 28 homes price over $1,000,000 with 5 homes priced over $2,000,000.

It’s not often that we see homes come on the market in the lower Hollywood Riviera neighborhood that’s west of Palos Verdes Blvd. Occassionally we see a home or two and more often than not, there is nothing on the market in this area.
That certainly couldn’t be further from the case at the moment as there are 4 homes for sale on Camino De Encanto in the Hollywood Riviera.
There are current 4 homes on the market and all are within a 1/2 block. This is pretty unheard of an probably not ideal for any of the homes as when buyers have options….they want to negotiate.
**Please note that this is a post from 2017. 433 Paseo De La Playa has undergone a MAJOR transformation since then and the new home is now for sale (as of 3/7/25) for $22,500,000. Click here to see the updated listing information.
433 Paseo De La Playa is definitely one of a kind. Perched on the bluff with stunning ocean and coastline views, the 
home is like something usually seen in Beverly Hills or Bel Aire….not Redondo Beach and Torrance. Learn more about the oceanfront homes on Paseo De La Playa in the Hollywood Riviera.
Boasting 7 bedrooms (all spacious), 6 1/2 baths, 7,792 square feet on a massive 25,000+ lot that extends to the beach this home has it all…..sports court, gated driveway, ocean view pool and spa (with a mini waterslide) and huge views from many of the rooms. The home even features a oversized path down to the sand which is rare as the California Coastal Commission highly regulates direct access to the beach and the permitting process (if approved) can take years and years.
The Hollywood Riviera is a fantastic neighborhood with a small town community charm, highly ranked schools and often times some great ocean views.
We’ve created a new website geared specificially to the Hollywood Riviera area of Torrance. The Hollywood Rivera is one of our favorite areas in all of the South Bay with great views, proximity to the beach, ideal weather, a wonderful neighborhood feel, and somewhat restrictive building codes keeping the homes appropriate for the lot sizes and protecting the views.

If you’re looking for a classic beach downtown area and Hermosa and Manhattan are just too crowded, take a trip to the charming Riviera Village in South Redondo Beach.
The Riviera Village features great locally owned shops and restaurants, a very pedestrian friendly feel and sits just a few blocks from the beach. It has a distinct retro feel of beach towns of old. Visit homes for sale in Hollywood Riviera to see the current homes for sale and other community information.
Riviera Village offers a charming collection of over 300 eclectic shops, restaurants and services . Stroll the tree-lined streets or people-watch at one of the sidewalk cafes. Relax in an open environment where Redondo Beach sea breezes keep your shopping and dining cool.
Farmers Market, Fridays 3 to 7 pm
The Riviera Village Farmers Market is a great spot to pick up everything you need for a great picnic at the beach, Saturday night dinner with friends, or relaxing Sunday brunch. Friday farmer’s market has loads of fresh produce, fruit, and a wide selection of prepared foods, including olive oils, jams and jellies, and snacks. Grab some local food and head to the beach for a sunset picnic.

I’ve been fortunate to represent a few clients on purchases or sales along Paseo De La Playa in the Hollywood Riviera and the locations is nothing short of spectacular. Paseo De La Playa is the oceanfront street that connects Redondo Beach with the beginning of the Palos Verdes Peninsula and offers a lifestyle not found in many places. Hollywood Riviera is a unique area as it has a Redondo Beach address but is actually located in the city of Torrance.
The recent sale of 501 Paseo De La Playa is no exception. This 5 bedroom, 3 1/2 bath home sits high on the bluff and offers mesmerizing views of the ocean, Palos Verdes and the beautiful coastline from Redondo to Malibu. This oceanfront home was listed for $5,500,000 and sold for $5,300,000.
