Beachfront living in a historic Redondo Beach landmark
The Surfrider at 565 Esplanade stands as an iconic presence along Redondo Beach's shoreline. Completed in 1971, this 5-story condominium complex houses 64 units, offering residents direct access to the sandy beaches and crashing waves of the Pacific. Designed by visionary South Bay architect Bill Burchfield, The Surfrider holds a unique historical designation with the Los Angeles Conservancy. As the first residential high-rise on the Redondo Beach Esplanade, its curvilinear balcony design ensures ocean views from every unit. The building's facade, adorned with tiles from the former Metlox Pottery headquarters, showcases its mid-century modern roots while providing a timeless coastal aesthetic.
Spacious layouts with breathtaking ocean vistas
The Surfrider offers a range of floor plans to suit various lifestyles, from cozy one-bedroom units to expansive two-bedroom residences. One-bedroom layouts span from 717 to 862 square feet, featuring one bathroom and selling from $820,000 to $1,300,000. These units often include walk-in closets, updated kitchens with granite countertops, and private balconies perfect for enjoying ocean breezes and sunset views.
Two-bedroom units range from 862 to 1,427 square feet, with one or two bathrooms, and typically sell around $1,450,000. Many of these larger residences boast unique features such as lofts that can serve as home offices or guest areas, soaring 18-foot vaulted ceilings with crown molding, and expansive windows that frame panoramic ocean vistas.
Throughout the building, residents enjoy modern amenities like hardwood or travertine flooring, updated kitchens with stainless steel appliances, and spa-like bathrooms featuring marble tub enclosures and vessel sinks. Select units have been thoughtfully renovated to include custom lighting systems, remote-controlled window shades, and in-unit Miele washers and dryers. The building's design ensures that whether you're in the living room, kitchen, or bedroom, the stunning Pacific Ocean is always part of your daily view.
Coastal comforts and historical charm
The Surfrider offers an array of amenities that enhance the beachfront living experience. Perhaps most notably, residents enjoy direct beach access, allowing for spontaneous walks along the shore or quick dips in the ocean. The building's community spa, overlooking the Pacific, provides a perfect spot for relaxation while taking in the coastal panorama.
For those who enjoy outdoor entertaining, an inviting entertainment area is available, complete with ocean views. Secured parking in the subterranean garage offers peace of mind, with some spaces equipped with EV chargers to accommodate eco-conscious residents. Bicycle parking is also provided, encouraging an active, beach-town lifestyle.
The building maintains a community laundry room for convenience, though many units now feature in-unit washers and dryers. Storage units in the garage allow residents to keep their living spaces clutter-free while still having easy access to beach gear and seasonal items.
Security is a priority at The Surfrider, with secured building access ensuring residents' safety. The pet-friendly policy allows animal lovers to share their beach lifestyle with their furry companions. The building's historical designation adds a unique charm, connecting residents to the rich architectural heritage of Redondo Beach.
