Hermosa Beach - Gorgeous and Dense Beach City in South Bay of California User Rating 4.5 rating By Anonymous ( May 10, 2018) I absolutely love almost everything about the beach city of Hermosa Beach. There are dozens of fantastic restaurants, with great attractions and opportunities to have a great time. This city is a family city, meaning beach days with relatives and kids is always something that can ...Read More be done with ease. The ocean is within walking distance of most of the houses in this city.

The weather is great and the beach is usually a great place to enjoy. The pier is always a blast to visit and the views of the ocean are remarkable. This city can be very congested, and costs a lot of money to rent or buy a house.

Finding parking is usually very difficult, as there is not much space to find a parking spot. There are meter parking locations, that usually charge around one dollar per hour to park in. This could be considered one of the wealthiest neighborhoods in all of California, and is an extremely optimal place for people looking for retirement. Read Less
