Heights

The Heights area is the westernmost portion of this section. It is bordered by Sepulveda Boulevard on the west, Marine Avenue on the north, Herrin Avenue on the east and Manhattan Beach Boulevard on the south.

This area has gentle hills, providing city views for some homes. There has been slightly more new construction here than in Liberty Village.

Within this area the 1500 blocks of 19th, 21st, and 23rd Streets consist of “Roth Built Homes” originally constructed on 7200 square foot lots in the mid 1960s.

Liberty Village

Liberty Village is the easternmost portion of this section. It is bordered by Aviation Boulevard on the east, Manhattan Beach Boulevard on the south, Redondo Avenue on the west and Marine Avenue on the north. The homes in this tract were built in 1950. A second Liberty Village development was built in 1952 just to the west on 18th, 19th, 21st, 22nd and 23rd Streets between Herrin Avenue and Redondo Avenue. Most of the original Liberty Village lots are about 5,400 square feet. Lots in the second phase are a little smaller at about 5,000 square feet.

This area is nearly flat. Fewer homes here have been replaced by new construction, but most of the original homes have been remodeled over the years.
