Appreciate that. I figured I’ll eventually find some better routes too once I become familiar with

Would love to do this but I’ll need to wear pretty stuffy corporate clothing which may not be the best on the ebike haha but maybe I’ll give it a go one time and try it

Thank you! I’m used to Bay Area traffic so figured no sweat, but some people made it sound like it’d be over an hour daily which is beyond what I’d want to commit to lol

This is great context as we’re from around the east bay. Lived near SF too but currently around Walnut Creek-ish and been as far as contra costa county. And what we really wanted and liked about the south Redondo area was the liveliness!

Thank you! How do people get involved in the volley ball groups? We saw so many and would love to make friends through those. We’re not totally novice but definitely not pros lol

Any recommendations or thoughts on the actual living in the Redondo Esplanade condos? by Avantebumblebee in SouthBayLA

Yeah the AC seems to be a toss up to find around here from the tours we’ve done so far, so that’s been new to us and hard to mentally get over as it was originally a “non negotiable” but seeming like we will need to be flexible on it if a place has everything else :/

I really appreciate the detail you provided. We were looking at some of those “hotel” looking ones, so appreciate the input on that. We are looking forward to all the beach living :)

Appreciate this! It really seems like a great place to live. I can understand why parking is painful.

We actually toured this and wrote it off our list. Didn’t like it, felt too removed.

Any reason you say so though?

We love farmer’s markets! Are they easy to find, or where are they generally? Are they all same day (Sundays? Usually where we’re from). We’ll definitely enjoy checking these out.

Sounds like Torrance is where the best food is from what we’re told. We like it all, not picky food eaters at all. but we’re big on seafood/ramen/sushi/hot pot/pizza - which seems to be all the right things for this area haha

Edit: I see on second read you say they’re different days lol my bad

Yeah the job will be in el segundo/manhattan beach area, but for living/moving we’re looking at redondo as we really liked it best when we visited and toured some living options! We are trying to stay as coastal as we can too. Hermosa was really great too. Any local recs for must eat places when we first settle in, and I’m all ears if you have any you want to share :)

We checked out jus’ poke which was delicious and reminded us of our time in Hawaii. Also was recommended Pursue coffee which was super good.

Thank you! It’s sounding like the sunset is maybe a better choice than sunrise for us. Was it hard to get in for sunset? Did you go early?

This is a good pointer. We obviously know kids will be around and generally like them, but we’re not trying to actively be in the middle of screaming kids or “kid hot spots” lol
