Haven't been down in a few years, but anything along Paseo del Mar was always pleasant and I visited friends many times in South Shores and husband kept boat in the Marina. I wonder how much the houses go for now.
My daughter bought her first house in San Pedro for $400,000.00 and sold it last year for $675,000.00. It was a few blocks above Western, and a couple of blocks below Miraleste. RPV & Rolling Hills are in the millions. Lower in San Pedro you can still get for $400,000-$500,000 I believe.
We usually stay in the hotel at the Marina, and love it.
