3 Bedroom J Floorplan Hits the Market in Fusion
While it’s been an incredible real estate market in the gated community of Fusion, this latest listed is really going to be an indication as to whether home prices can
reach a price point never seen before. Given that the highest price a 3 bedroom unit that has sold was the recent sale of 5402 #7 at $998,000 this latest listing at $1.1M is going to show whether Fusion is ready for homes in the $1.0M range.
It was only a year ago that a 3 bedroom had never even sold in the $900,000s. Given that 5509 #6 is the only home currently active and on the market you just never know, but with another 3 bedroom (g floorplan) priced at $949,000 and in escrow it’s definitely a challenge.
The home itself is in a very nice location in the community but is generally a “base” unit in which they did not have any builder upgrades at the time and don’t appear to have done much upgrading. When the units were built buyers had the ability to upgrade items like hardwood floors, granite kitchen counters, etc and most of those are the entry level finishes offered at the time.
The J layout is the larger of the 2 three bedroom layouts with a listed 1,790 square feet (builder records indicate 1,790 feet…..tax records show 1,660….this is the same for all of the J units and not uncommon for condos). The J floorplan is the only layout in all of Fusion in which all living spaces are on one level. The only challenge is that it has several flights of stairs from the garage to get to the level but once there everything is a single level which is fantastic. As with all Fusion homes this one has air conditioning and is in the award winning Wiseburn School District. This home is in very great condition with a beautiful kitchen and some nice upgrades. Fusion is located just east of Manhattan Beach in the Hawthorne neighborhood of Hollyglen.

360 South Bay, Hollyglen And Del Aire Homes and Real Estate
Welcome to Three Sixty, Hollyglen and Del Aire in Hawthorne CA
Fusion South Bay is located in the Hollyglen area of Hawthorne CA. Hollyglen is a great alternative to neighborhoods like West Torrance and Southwood (Torrance) as it has a similar look and feel but prices are generally a bit more affordable. It’s also populare with commuters as it lessens the drive time by quite a bit with convenient access to the freeway. The neighborhood of Hollyglen sits west of the 405 Freeway, north or Rosecrans and south of El Segundo Blvd. Most of the homes in Hollyglen were post war 40’s and 50’s bungalows ranging between 900 and 1,400 feet. Prices have risen dramatically over the past few years with homes ranging between the low $700,000s to over a million. One of the strongest appeals to Hollyglen is the award winning Wiseburn School District. A past concern was the lack of a high school in the district but that’s changing with the completion of Wiseburn High School. At the top corner of the community sits Three Sixty at South Bay which is a very popular alternative to Fusion.
Three Sixty South Bay
Many home buyers that are interested in Fusion are also looking at 360. Three Sixty is a few years newer than Fusion and has amenities to rival a luxury hotel with multiple pools, jacuzzi, state of the art fitness center, incredible clubhouse rooms, dog park, multiple parks and a sport court with basketball and paddle tennis.

Prices range from the low $600,000s for a studio in the Flats up to $1.3M for the largest of the Terraces.

Get To Know the Neighborhood – Wiseburn School District
One of the elements that makes Fusion at South Bay such a great community is the award winning Wiseburn School District. Although located in the city of
Hawthorne, Hollyglen residents attend this award winning school system. One of the main concerns residents have had over the years is the lack of a local high school. Students that graduated from the local middle school were often then enrolled in the Centinela Valley district. As of 2015 a bond measure was passed for the construction of a local high school that will be located in nearby El Segundo.
From a real estate perspective the Wiseburn School District has a significant impact on housing values. Homes in the district are generally priced considerably higher than those outside of the district boundaries…even if just a few blocks away.

The Wiseburn Unified School District is a small public school system in the El Segundo/west Hawthorne area that serves the Wiseburn communities of Del Aire, Hollyglen, and Wiseburn.
The Wiseburn Unified School District has entered into a partnership with the Da Vinci Charter Schools since 2009. These independent charter schools were locally created to provide a high school option for Wiseburn students. As mentioned above, in 2015 a bond measure was passed allowing for the construction of the Wiseburn High School campus that would house the three separate Da Vinci Charter Schools.
