South Redondo Beach

Redondo Beach is the South Bay’s oldest and largest beach community, and the birthplace of West Coast surfing. As you travel through South Redondo, you'll notice clusters of themed street names. Each of these clusters relates to a distinct point in time in the city’s rich history. The “Gem Streets” are named after what once was a popular destination called Moonstone Beach, where deposits of gemstones could be found along the coast. “The Girl Streets” were named after the female descendants of Manual Dominguez, who was the original landholder of what is now Redondo Beach. There are three (and-a-half) real estate MLS sections of South Redondo Beach, with numerous subsections throughout. The “half” comes from the fact that one area - Hollywood Riviera - in reality belongs to the City of Torrance, however a Redondo-based post office in this section gives it a 90277 zip code and a “Redondo Beach” address. This is important to note when shopping for homes because homes in the Hollywood Riviera are actually zoned to attend schools within the Torrance Unified School District. There are three elementary schools that service South Redondo - Alta Vista, Tulita, and Beryl. All South Redondo students attend Parras Middle School, and all students within the City of Redondo Beach attend Redondo Union High School.
