Downtown Manhattan Beach

There are endless reasons that make Manhattan Beach such a unique and special town, and certainly one of them is the small town charm.  As with any good town, the heart of the city is located in the downtown shopping and dining area.  Only this town center sits just steps from one of the nicest beaches in the world and it’s hard Evening in Downtown Manhattan Beachnot to be amazed and dazzled by the location.  With a variety of restaurants both casual and fine dining, sports bars to catch the games, a boutique and hip hotel and shops for just about everyone, downtown Manhattan Beach really epitomizes the casual yet elegant feel of the city itself.  In addition to the abundance of activities in the center of the city, just a short walk down the street leads you to the sand of world famous Manhattan Beach as well as the Manhattan Beach pier, Roundhouse Aquarium, and the bike and walk paths of The Strand, Manhattan Beach’s oceanfront walk.

Currently No Homes for Sale in Fusion South Bay

November 12, 2018 by

What has already been a fairly slow few months in Fusion South Bay has gotten even slower with no new listings on the market in the last month. As Fusion is just across the street from Manhattan Beach but priced in an entirely different range, this has become a very high demand community. With so little inventory the demand certainly doesn’t show signs of easing anytime soon. While there are currently no homes for sale 360 South Bay may be an alternative for buyers. You can also visit our Fusion listings for an updated list of homes for sale when new listings hit the market.

Want an even eaiser way…..tell us what you’re looking for and we’ll send you email listing updates anytime a new listing hits the market.

What Makes Fusion South Bay Townhomes Unique?

May 25, 2018 by

Fusion South Bay is a rarity in the South Bay.  With undeveloped land almost unheard of there are simply no places to build new housing developements.  While new construction single family and small townhome complexes are all the rage in this hyper active real estate market, larger complexes are a different animal altogether.

Fusion South Bay was built on former industrial land and, along with 360 South Bay, offers one of the only newer community in the area.  What makes Fusion so ideal is the combination of location (just east of Manhattan Beach and a short drive to the beach) price, and age.  As the homes were built around 2006 and 2007 they offer the feel of new construction with contemporary architecture and many of the updated features that home buyers are looking for such as air conditioning, granite counters, open layouts and more.

Location:  Fusion South Bay is located close to very high priced neighborhoods of Manhattan Beach and Redondo Beach.  In addition to feeling like they’re a part of these coastal towns, the complex also offers much better commuting options as it’s closer to freeway access than the Beach Cities.  Another fantastic aspect to Fusion is that it sits in the Hollyglen area of Hawthorne but unlike much of Hawthorne, it offers access to the award winning Wiseburn School District

Price:  Fusion is a great alternative to neighboring communities as you get far more for your money.  Something of a similar age in Redondo Beach could be $150K or more higher than Fusion.  As of this post the smallest 2 bedrooms which are the A and B floorplans start in the low $600,000 with the larger 3 bedroom J units selling over $800,000.  Homes in 360 South Bay are priced well above that and HOA dues in Fusion are also considerably less at just around $200 a month.

Age:  While there are plenty of new 2 and 3 on a lot townhomes in Redondo Beach the prices for those units have reached an all time high.  Fusion condos and townhomes gives that same feeling of mondern construction as a much lower price.  While each home is different with some builder upgrades in most but not all, the homes still have all of the modern features most people are looking for.

For buyers feeling priced out of the South Bay cities of Manhattan Beach, Hermosa, El Segundo and Redondo Beach, Fusion South Bay is a great alternative.

How Do Fusion Home Prices Compare with 360 South Bay

April 18, 2018 by

360 South Bay and Fusion South Bay are two of the premier gated communities in the area.  Both communities are fairly new with 360 generally being built around 2012-2013 and Fusion being built around 2006.  New construction with ammenities that today’s buyers are looking for are very hard to find in a similar price range in the neighboring communities.  Both neighborhoods appealed to buyers that wanted the lifestyle of Manhattan or Redondo but couldn’t afford it.  Although todays buyers seem to be more focused on one or the other, they have long appealed to the same buyers.
