Living in Redondo Beach combines coastal living with small-town atmosphere along Santa Monica Bay. This beach city, spanning just over 6 square miles, features the historic pier, sandy beaches, and King Harbor marina. Housing options range from oceanfront condos to homes in established neighborhoods like Hollywood Riviera and South Redondo. One-bedroom apartments currently average $2,509, with rates showing a 1.1% decrease over the past year. The Riviera Village district offers boutique shopping and local dining, while the pier and boardwalk serve as central gathering spaces.
Redondo Beach's Mediterranean climate makes it ideal for enjoying the city's parks, coastal bike paths, and water recreation. The community is served by Redondo Union High School and other public schools throughout the district. The former AES power plant site represents an ongoing environmental project, as the city works to restore the area's natural wetlands - a location historically significant to the indigenous Tongva people. Community events center around the pier, including the annual Lobster Festival. The city provides convenient access to Los Angeles while maintaining its distinct coastal character. A memorable piece of local trivia: in 1983, the city officially declared the Goodyear Blimp as Redondo Beach's "Official Bird."

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
