Westside Rentals Redondo Beach Guide In 2024

Known for its relaxed seaside vibe, charming pier, and great surfing, Redondo Beach has become an increasingly popular place to live for those looking for an affordable alternative to pricey beach cities like Manhattan and Hermosa. This Westside Rentals guide covers everything you need to know to land your dream rental in Redondo.

Neighborhoods and Vibes

North Redondo
The most affordable area, North Redondo has more multi-family properties and access to the 405 freeway. Better for commuters and families than singles and surfers.

South Redondo
South Redondo is considered more desirable thanks to rustic beach cottages walking distance to the ocean, pier and tourists traps on Pacific Coast Highway. Prime locale for active singles, couples and surfers.

Inland Redondo
Inland neighborhoods are quieter and removed from tourists, yet still minutes from dining and nightlife. Awesome for families seeking single family homes with yards. Schools are also highly rated.

Amenities to Look For

Beach Access
Check that beach facing complex or the easy walk to sand and surf before signing any lease in west Redondo neighborhoods. Street parking restrictions on coastal streets means you’ll need it.

Laundry Facilities
Given the beach lifestyle, most properties have on-site laundry. If not included in unit, be sure to inquire about laundry rooms and hook-ups during your tour. Machines accessible 24/7 are most convenient for tenants.

Parking Options
If you plan to have a car, secure parking is key. South Redondo street parking is scarce, so opt for assigned spots. North Redondo has more street availability but can still fill quickly if renting with roommates.

Price and Payment Terms

Rent Prices
From cozy studios to lavish oceanfront condos, Westside Rentals offers huge price diversity based on location, size and amenities. Plan for a budget between $1800-$4000 depending on your must-haves, or opt for northern regions to save.

Deposits and Fees
Standard for Redondo is paying first month’s rent plus full security deposit upfront upon lease signing. Security deposits range from equal one to two month’s rent. A few privately listed spots offer just half month deposits.

Lease Terms
One year leases are typical but shorter 6 or 9 month options can be found for flexibility. Subletting existing leases is also possible. Be upfront about your ideal term when contacting listings to avoid wasting time.
