Where to Find Everything on Your South Bay Wish List—For Under $1.1M
If you’ve been house-hunting anywhere in the South Bay recently, you know the checklist: ocean views, vintage charm, flexible layout, space to entertain, a real yard, maybe even ADU potential… and a price that doesn’t leave you breathless.
But in a market where many coastal listings now begin well north of $1.3M, can you really find all that under $1.1M?
Actually, yes—if you know where to look.
Tucked into a quiet street in Coastal San Pedro, 2718 S. Averill Ave delivers on the dream. This two-story home brings together character, convenience, and just enough ocean blue to remind you why you’re here in the first place.
Let’s break down why this one is a standout in today’s South Bay market:
☑ Ocean View—Without Sand Section Prices
From the upper level, you get a clear view of the Pacific and even Catalina Island on a clear day. It's a west-facing orientation, so light floods in—and you’re reminded you're just blocks from the coast. But unlike homes in the Los Angeles Beach Cities or Palos Verdes “view zones,” this one is offered at $1,099,000.
☑ Bedrooms on the Main Level
All of the home’s three bedrooms are located on the lower level—ideal for anyone who wants accessibility and easy flow. Whether it's a multi-generational household, a young family, or future renters, this layout adds flexibility to meet changing needs.
☑ Entertainer-Friendly Floor Plan
The sunny formal living room opens to a dedicated dining area, brick fireplace, and vintage hardwood floors that feel warm and grounded. The kitchen, with its rustic Martha Stewart-finished cabinetry and glass-front accents, opens right into the main gathering space—no isolation, no weird flow.
☑ A Bonus Living Room with a Vaulted Ceiling and a View
Upstairs, you’ll find the unexpected: a second living room with a vaulted, beamed ceiling and that rare South Bay blend of light, view, and privacy. It feels like a creative loft, an ocean-adjacent retreat, or a work-from-home perch that actually sparks joy.
☑ A True Backyard
Unlike so many beach-close homes where yard space is more theoretical than usable, this one has a generous, fenced yard with mature landscaping and space to dream. Want to garden? Add a firepit? Maybe even explore ADU possibilities (buyer to verify)? You have room here.
☑ Walkability, Parks, and Big Future Upside
From Averill Ave, you’re just minutes from Point Fermin Park, Paseo del Mar’s cliffside trails, the up-and-coming West Harbor development, and beloved South Bay eateries. Add in a detached garage and long driveway, and you’ve got both charm and convenience.
Homes like this don’t come up often—especially under $1.1M.
