Located in the heart of Hermosa Beach, this prime coastal neighborhood is defined by its vibrant, walkable atmosphere just steps from the sand. The housing market is exclusive, with a median home value of $1,862,400 and a median gross rent of $2,659 per month. Homeownership is nearly balanced with renting, as 51.4% of units are owner-occupied and 48.6% are renter-occupied, reflecting a dynamic mix of long-term residents and a transient rental population drawn to the beach lifestyle.
The market activity is robust and primarily conventional, with 305 conventional loan originations out of a total of 312 HMDA originations, indicating a high-credit, high-income buyer pool that aligns with the median household income of $149,500. The very low counts of government-backed loans, such as 3 VA and 4 FHA originations, underscore the premium, competitive nature of the market. Homes here are typically compact, with an average size of 1,150 square feet, emphasizing location and lifestyle over sheer square footage.
