The week in Hermosa Beach
What moved, what dropped and what changed hands in Hermosa Beach, read the way an inspector reads a house.

That is the week, address by address. What any one of these rows means for a house on the same street is the question the file answers next.

NeighbourhoodThe Strand
Hermosa's stretch of the beachfront boardwalk runs from the Redondo Beach line north through Manhattan Beach toward Santa Monica; unlike its two neighboring Beach Cities, Hermosa Beach owns its own sand outright rather than leasing it from Los Angeles County.
NeighbourhoodSand Section
The blocks between the Strand and the Hermosa Valley Greenbelt hold the city's densest concentration of small, rebuilt beach lots around the 1,000-foot concrete pier, built in 1913 after the original 1904 wood pier partially washed out.
