8 of 11 Homes in El Segundo Ever Sold Over $2.0M Have Been in 2016*

By Keith Kyle

If you need any evidence that prices are sky high in El Segundo just look towards the luxury market.  It wasn’t long ago that we wrote a post on whether El Segundo was ready for $2,000,000 homes and it seems that it’s relatively commonplace just 12 months later.  As of July 17th there are 3 single family homes in El Segundo priced over $2,000,000.  In the nearby luxury real estate markets of Manhattan Beach and Hermosa Beach this wouldn’t be unusual but in El Segundo it’s fairly unbelievabe. It’s certainly due, in part, to many buyers being priced out of the South Bay and their money goes much further in El Segundo.  In addition there is a pending sale and 4 closed sales in 2016 priced over the formerly unheard of $2.0M mark.

In 2016 we’ve seen 4 $2.0M+ homes plus the one home in currently in escrow (as of 7/16/16)

Dockweiler Beach in El Segundo

Dockweiler State Beach

Fun in the sun in El Segundo

By Keith Kyle

When most people think of the classic South Bay beaches they usually think of Manhattan and Hermosa Beach.  Some don’t even realize that El Segundo has a beach but not only does it have a beach, it’s unique and expansive.

Much effort has been put into making Dockweiler a destination beach, with a great RV park, a newer volleyball court area, miles of great beaches, endless areas to surf, the Marvin Braude bike path, ocean view snack bar, youth center and fairly good parking.  If that’s not enough you can even try hangliding just off of small bluff.

Unlike most area beaches the fun doesn’t have to end at night with one of the few locations that allows bonfires on the beach in the numerous fire ring areas.

Dockweiler RV Park

Dockweilers is Los Angeles County’s only RV campground right at the beach.  Pull up and enjoy beachfront camping and the great weather year round means it’s not just good in the summer.  Dockweiler RV park offers a pump-out station, hot showers, and a laundromat. Each campsite has its own picnic table and barbecue.

The 22-mile Marvin Braude Bicycle Trail is only a few pedals away from the camp, connecting the RV Park with nearby attractions such as Redondo Beach Pier, Venice, Santa Monica beaches and Marina del Rey.

Ocean’s Cafe

One of our favorites.  Just off of the bike path and high on the bluff……endless ocean views at a diner style beach restaurant.
