allows properties within two to three blocks of the beach to be developed as large two tothree-unit luxury townhomes; inland areas are more likely to have single-family homes.There is a city-wide height limit of 32 ft. for new homes; unlike Manhattan Beach,Redondo allows rooftop living spaces and decks.Other ActivitiesA revitalized downtown area affectionately termed "Riviera Village" (named so after theHollywood Riviera, which is the area it is in) provides locals an opportunity to eat, shopand commune in a quiet atmosphere. Since 2004 several new or newly renovatedrestaurants have made a positive impact on local options for an on-the-town experience.Downtown also supports a number of independent boutiques and shops specializing inclothing and fashion, as well as at least three wine-tasting galleries. This downtown areais in South Redondo west of PCH between Avenue I and Palos Verde Blvd.The Marina, Harbor and Pier complexes are large, planned centers of activity that hostrestaurants, bars, smaller shops and an arcade. The pier is a common spot for anglers tocast for a local catch; many residents of inland <strong>Los</strong> <strong>Angeles</strong> drive to Redondo Beach totake advantage of the long and unique shape of this pier. The large, monolithic concretestructures that make up the pier and harbor area stand in stark contrast to the venerablecozy feel of the rest of the South Bay's neighborhood-style streetfront architecture; thecity continues to consider options for the area as new entertainment and dining chooses tolocate in other areas of the Beach Cities.Cost of LivingThe beach lifestyle comes at a price: according to public data from the LA Times, RealEstate prices increased almost 20% per year between 1999 and 2005. Properties withinshort walking distance of the ocean routinely sell for well over $1 Million USD. Thosewith direct, unhindered views routinely ask in excess of $2 Million. Money Magazineranks communities in the area as some of the most expensive places to live in America.The average 3-bed 2-bath home costs about $850,000 in South Redondo as of 2006 and$750,000 in North Redondo.GeographyRedondo Beach is located at 33°51′23″N, 118°22′37″W (33.856514, -118.377081) GR1 .According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 16.7 km² (6.4mi²). 16.3 km² (6.3 mi²) of it is land and 0.4 km² (0.1 mi²) of it (2.18%) is water.DemographicsAs of the census GR2 of 2000, there were 63,261 people, 28,566 households, and 15,254families residing in the city.
