The Hollywood Riviera is a fantastic neighborhood offering some great housing options, many with great ocean view. As the Hollywood Riviera sits on the lower slopes of the Palos Verdes Peninsula there are some incredible ocean views and most are protected by an ordinance called the “hillside overlay”. Protected views are definitely a rarity in the South Bay. While the mailing address is Redondo Beach, the Hollywood Riviera is actually part of the city of Torrance.
