I really love my community and my city. However, it is not perfect. The biggest problem to me is the homeless people. There are two churches where many homeless people and drug addicts flock to, and they can cause disturbances. One other thing I would change is the pier. I feel as though it is the reason the nightlife is worse than that of Hermosa Beach or Manhattan. However, the Riviera is always super fun to visit at night. Overall, though, I love my city!

I moved to Redondo Beach in 2006. I like that we have our own school district, RBUSD. The school grants have been utilized in a very productive manner. They have enhanced our music programs, provided renovated interiors/exteriors from elementary thru high school campuses. Adding more classrooms, and making the overall environment very pleasant. I especially like the coastline area of Redondo Beach and all of the unique shops and eateries. The beach community is friendly and you cannot beat the beautiful coastal view.
I love the community here and the sea breeze is a nice touch! I am a high school student who loves to be involved with in the schools and here, you are presented with opportunities that help you build an awesome resume. Redondo has set me up for success!
