About Fusion – Community Basics

Welcome to the gated community of Fusion South Bay. Built between 2005 and 2007 the homes of Fusion have a much newer feel than similar priced alternatives in nearby El Segundo and Redondo Beach. Fusion consists of 2 and 3 bedroom townhome and condo style homes. Each has it’s own garage as well as all units having air conditioning. There are a number of floorplans to choose from. The community is located just east of Manhattan Beach in the Hollyglen neighborhood of Hawthorne CA. Amenities in Fusion include a beautiful pool area, spa, playground, half court basketball, and a number of exersize stations throughout the community.Click any link below for more information on this wonderful community.  The community is located in the Hollyglen neighborhood of Hawthorne and served by the Wiseburn School District.  Prices have  gone  up rapidly over the past  few years with record breaking sales fairly common at this point.

Is there a sales office?

No.   When the homes were originally built by Centex they had an onsite sales office that took buyers on tours, acted as their realtors and generally handled all aspects of the home sales.  Once the builder sold the last of their units, it became just like any other neighborhood from a real estate perspective.  Sellers generally hire a listing agent of their choosing to represent them and they then market the home they are selling as they see fit.  There is no official sales office and our real estate site is not directly affiliated  with the community.  Although we are top realtors in the community and represent many buyers and sellers we do not have any official connection with the community.Back to top

Are we officially affiliated with the community?

No.  As mentioned above there is no single realtor or sales office for the community.  We are one of the top real estate agents in Fusion but  we  do not work for or with the community or HOA in any official capacity.Back to top

Is there a real estate  company that officially represents 360?

No.  Fusion is now like any neighborhood or community and sellers and buyers choose any real estate professional that they would like to work with.

Are there model homes to tour? 

No. As the original builder homes sold long ago, Fusion real estate is just like any neighborhood. Seller’s list their homes with an agent and they decide on how potential buyers can view the homes.Back to top

Can you rent homes in Fusion?

Yes.  There are usually 1-2 homes that come on the rental market each month.  Most are looking for a minimum 12 month lease.  The community does not allow any short term or vacation type leases.

Is there a rental office?

No.  Similar to home sales, there is no official rental office and owners/landlords can put their home on the market with or without a realtor.  Homes for rent can be a challenge as unlike sales, not all go on the MLS.  Visit our Fusion rental and lease page to see the current properties for lease in Fusion (that are on the MLS).Back to top

Are there different styles of homes?

Sort of.  All of the homes in Fusion are technically and legally condos.  That said most realtors will list the homes as townhomes.  Most units are more townhome style with nobody above or below.  The exceptions are the A units with the B units above (and vice versa) and the G and J 3 bedroom units with the G units below the J (and vice versa) Back to top

Are there studios or one bedroom condos?

Fusion only has 2 or 3 bedroom condos and townhomes.  The smallest 2 bedroom is around 1,000 square feet and the largest is the 3 bedroom J floorplan with between 1,660 and 1,770 square feet.

How do you tour available homes and condos?

Open houses are generally the easiest way but not all homes or realtors allow open houses. Click here to see the coming weekends public open houses in Fusion, if any. Some realtors or sellers restrict showings and will require written preapproval from a lender showing that you are a qualified buyer.  The best way to see an available home is to have your realtor contact the listing agent to arrange.  If you do not have an agent we would love to work with you and would be happy to arrange an appointment.  We can be reached via phone/text at 310-251-2344 or email us.Back to top

What is the best way to search for homes in Fusion?

That really depends on you and how you like to do things.  We post all homes for sale (both our listings and other agents) on our Fusion South Bay  home search page and it’s free for all visitors.  In addition most homes in Fusion are listed on the local South Bay MLS which syndicates listings to 3rd party sites like Zillow and Redfin.  The easist way to search is to either have your realtor send you listing updates when new listings hit the  market.  If you are not working with an agent we will gladly help out with our free customized listing alerts and we’ll send you email updates when a new home comes on the market in 360.  We also have a vast network of both buyers and agents and often know of listings before they come on the market.  We are only able to provide this service to buyers we are working directly with as it’s rather labor intensive.Back to top

Is it beneficial to work with a listing agent directly?

This is a bit of a tricky answer as it really depends on the situation.   As buying a home is a major milestone type event with legal and lifestyle consequences it’s generally a good idea to have  your own representation and a realtor only looking out for your best interests.  Having said that there are occassions where dual representation is advantageous for all involved.  Trust is critical in this situation and the agent’s ability to represent each party separately and individually.Back to top

Who are the top realtors and agents in Fusion

There are a few  agents that sell most of the homes that come up  in the community.  Due to the fact that when original owners purchased they did not have their own agents and had  to go through the sales office at that time, we do see many “out of area” realtors representing some of these original owners.  As more homes have resold over the years they are more often represented by a handful of top Fusion realtors of  which Keith Kyle  of Vista Sotheby’s International is proud to be one.  Keith  has  consistently been one of the very top agents in the community for many years.

Who pays the agent commission?

Except in very rare  cases, both the listing realtor and buyers realtors are paid by the seller.  As you have probably read in the news, that may be changing.  Back to top

Fusion Community Information


What city is Fusion in?

Despite the fact that many people, and even some realtors, think that Fusion is in El Segundo or Manhattan Beach, it’s actually in Hawthorne.  Fusion is in a small neighborhood known as Hollyglen that is west of the 405 Freeway, north of Rosecrans and South of El Segundo Blvd.  El Segundo starts on the other side of it’s western border….Aviation Blvd.  Hollyglen has it’s own school system called Wiseburn and is not part of the Hawthorne or Centinela Valley districts.

Who built Fusion?

The  homes were generally built from around 2006 Centex.  Once all of the homes were sold, Centex and the original sales office no longer  had any role in future home sales.Back to top

Does Fusion allow pets?

Yes.  The community is very pet friendly.  Currently an owner can have 2 domesticated animals but we recommend checking with the community and HOA documentsBack to top

What are the amenities like?

The amenities in Fusion are nice but somewhat limited.  The community has a very nice pool and jacuzzi deck, a small playground, blacktop style half court basketball, some outdoor exercise “stations” and a small park are.  .Back to top

Are any of the homes one level?

Sort of.  The 3 bedroom J floorplan living spaces are all on one level (it sits above the 3 bedroom G floorplan) There are, however, quite a few stairs from the ground floor entry level, and another flight to the garage.Back to top

Are there single family homes?

No….only condos and townhomes.Back to top

Do the homes have garages?

Yes.  All of the condos and townhomes have garages.  Most have 2 car side by side attached garages.  The smallest A and B units have one car detached garages and a separate street parking space.Back to top

What are the monthly HOA dues?

This not only varies depending on home type and size, but  as of 2024 HOA fees were around $350Back to top

What do the monthly HOA dues cover?

In general the montly HOA includes facility managment, amenities upkeep,  property management company, insurance (generally owners still need supplemental or “walls in” coverage) maintenance, landscaping.  

What is the name of the surrounding neighborhood and city?

Although many people think Fusion is in El Segundo or in Manhattan Beach, it’s actually located in the Hollyglen neighborhood of Hawthorne.  Hollyglen has a look and feel that’s very different from the rest of Hawthorne.  It’s one of the hottest real estate markets in all of the South Bay as it has ver much a feel of West Torrance but the prices are (to a certain extent were) more reasonable.  The neighborhood also benefits from having a local charter school system known as Wiseburn.  For more information on Hollyglen and Del Aire visit our neighborhood focused real estate website.Back to top

What school district serves the community?

Three Sixty at South Bay is served by the award winning Wiseburn  School District.  The district has 2 elementary shools, a middle school and the fairly new high school comprised of Da Vinci Science, Da Vinci Communications  and Da Vinci Design charter schools.   Back to top

What is a mello roos and is there one in Three Sixty?

Yes.  A mello roos is basically a bond measure communities pass to raise money to pay for infrastructure (roads, lights, water, etc)  that gets paid off by the homeowners in the community.  Fusion is in one of these districts and this additional cost is  generally paid with property taxes.  The amound varies dependent on the home.Back to top

Why does the square footage sometimes show a different number for the same layout or floorplan?

This is pretty common, especially in relatively newer condos and townhome communities.  There are usually 2 main sources of information regarding the square footage….the first is the builder and builder’s original plans and the second is the county assessor records.  The builder plans almost always had a larger number of square feet than what they recorded with the county.  Therefore some realtors will use the builders data (as it’s the larger of the two numbers) and plans when listing the home and others will use the assessors information.  Usually the actual square footage is somewhere in the middle.  If it’s a concern an appraiser will usually measure when doing the appraisal.Back to top

Is there an onsite manager?

No.  There is no onsite officeBack to top
