Here in the Hollywood Riviera there are two addresses - although in the end it's all the same address.  What does that confusing statement mean?  Well, half the Riviera has a Redondo Beach address (a P.O. Box address only though) Then entire Hollywood Riviera is located in the City of Torrance (90505).  There is a perception that is backed by numbers that show it's more desirable, thus more expensive typically to live on the Redondo Beach side of the Riviera.  Take for example the following averages:

Currently there are 14 houses for sale on the Torrance side of the Hollywood Riviera (90505)

The average dollar per square foot of these is $537.
The average price of those houses is $1,005,850.
The least expensive is $560K and the most expensive is $1,795K.

Currently there are 18 houses for sale in the Hollywood Riviera with the Redondo Beach P. O. Box (90277) address

The average dollars per square foot of these is $627.
The average price of these 18 houses is $1,457,050.
The least expensive is $699K and the most expensive is $3.7 Million.
