🏅 The LA Olympics may still be 3 years away, but the housing race has already started. 

Luxury rentals are already being rented for up to $300K/month, with demand fueled by athletes, executives, and spectators eager to secure housing before hotels and Airbnb even open.

🏡 For South Bay homeowners, this could be a huge opportunity. Thanks to the IRS Augusta Rule, you can rent your home for up to 14 days tax-free, and with Olympic venues nearby in Carson, Inglewood, and Long Beach, demand is only expected to grow.

⚠️ Always consult your CPA or tax professional before making financial decisions.

This new gem in El Segundo is bringing tacos to a whole new level. You need to try jaimetaqueria 🌮✨

From hand-rolled blue tortillas to creative guacamole flights topped with everything from smoky black garlic to crunchy corn, every bite feels thoughtful and full of flavor. The tacos are all unique and craveworthy.

The space itself is bright, colorful, and modern—perfect for a Taco Tuesday with friends, happy hour margaritas, or a casual dinner when you’re craving something special. It’s the latest project from Chef Jackson Kalb (also behind Jame Enoteca), and it’s another delicious spot.

They also have great coffee and agua frescas. Get there!

🚢 South Bay’s Forgotten Shipwreck 🌊

Did you know LA has a real shipwreck you can still hike to? 👀

Beneath the cliffs of Lunada Bay in Palos Verdes Estates lie the rusting remains of the SS Dominator, a 441-foot Greek freighter that crashed in 1961 while on its way to the Port of Long Beach to refuel.

Back then, news spread quickly. Crowds hiked, boated, and even flew in to see the stranded giant. The chaos got so wild, California Highway Patrol issued a Sigalert.

Decades of pounding surf have torn her apart, scattering the remains across the rocky shore. 

Today, only fragments are left of what was once the South Bay’s most famous shipwreck.

Located in South Redondo, Bollywood Zaika brings fast-casual Indian dining without sacrificing the warmth, flavor, or fresh ingredients of a home-cooked meal.

It’s the perfect lunch break spot—quick, affordable, and full of flavor—or an easy takeout dinner for those nights you want something comforting without turning on the stove. Inside, the vibe is relaxed and welcoming, with friendly service that makes it a must visit.

Only 15% of Californians could afford to buy a home in Q2 2025... and in the South Bay it’s even tougher.

👉 Swipe to see what it takes to afford a home in the South Bay.

Statewide, the median home price just passed $900,000. To qualify, you’d need an annual income of about $232,400, enough to cover a monthly payment of roughly $5,810 (principal, interest, taxes + insurance on a 30-year fixed at 6.9%).

Now zoom into the South Bay: Manhattan Beach, Hermosa Beach, Redondo Beach, and Palos Verdes. Homes here are often two to three times higher than the state median. Competition is strong, all-cash buyers set the pace, and the income needed to qualify often pushes close to half a million dollars a year.

If you’re a mochi lover, chikaramochi310 is a hidden gem you don’t want to miss! Located in Gardena, this longtime favorite has been making some of the most beautiful, hand-crafted mochi in the South Bay.

The shop itself is small and full of charm, with eclectic trinkets and a cozy, old-school feel.

The stars here are the white mochi filled with fruit flavors, each one decorated to look like the fruit it’s flavored after. These are a must try. 

The red bean mochi are just as special, each with unique touches and intricate designs that make them just as tempting.

They often sell out early, so get there as soon as you can! And don’t forget—it’s cash only. 

Whether you’re grabbing a few pieces or a full box, Chikara Mochi is a true South Bay treasure you’ll want to visit again and again.

🚨 ATTENTION L.A. COUNTY LANDLORDS AND TENANTS🚨

L.A. County just passed its first-ever rental cooling mandate. Here’s what it means for you…

Starting January 1, 2027, all rental units must maintain an indoor temperature of 82°F or cooler.

For small landlords (10 units or fewer), there’s extra time: until 2032, at least one habitable room per unit must meet the standard, with full compliance after that.

Habitable rooms include bedrooms, living rooms, dining rooms, and other spaces used for living, but not bathrooms or hallways.

This doesn’t just mean installing AC, other solutions like reflective roofing, blackout curtains, or double-pane windows may work, but they must keep the indoor temperature at or below the limit.

Starting 30 days from the vote, renters are protected from eviction or retaliation for installing their own cooling appliances, though landlords are still ultimately responsible for compliance.

📢Clarification: This law affects only unincorporated areas of L.A. County. It does not apply to incorporated cities.

This new law is a win for tenant safety, but a challenge for landlords. The impact on the rental market remains to be seen.

Located in Lawndale, pedrocasburguer is bringing bold Brazilian flavor to the South Bay, one burger at a time. 🇧🇷🍔

This spot is home to one of the most over-the-top burgers I’ve ever had (and I mean that in the best way). These burgers are stacked, saucy, loaded with toppings, and bigger than you can imagine.

The space is full of heart, and the owner welcomes you like family. If it’s your first time, the staff will happily walk you through the menu. Everyone here is incredibly warm and helpful.

Inside, it’s a celebration of Brazil. Don’t miss the framed soccer autographs lining the walls!

Make sure you come hungry… because finishing one of these is no small feat.

Pro tip: Grab a Guaraná or Brazilian soda while you’re there.

💰 Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill just dropped. Here’s what it means for the South Bay ☀️🏡

One of the most significant changes is the increase to the SALT (state and local tax) cap deduction, which will quadruple from $10,000 to $40,000 for individuals earning under $500,000. For South Bay homeowners facing high property taxes, this could translate into substantial tax relief.

For buyers, reduced tax burdens may boost purchasing power, bringing that dream home one step closer.

On the flip side…

The 30% federal solar tax credit is set to expire on January 1, 2026. That means no more federal incentives for solar panels, shingles, or battery storage. This translates to higher upfront costs and a longer return on investment.

If you’ve been considering solar, now is the time to act.

These are just a few of the changes in play. Whether you’re buying, selling, or planning ahead, this bill could mean thousands back in your pocket, or thousands more in expenses.

If you’re a meat lover or Japanese food enthusiast, redrock_la_japan needs to be on your radar.

This cozy spot tucked inside a Torrance plaza is serving up Japanese-style steak dons that’ll blow you away — sizzling beef, molten yolks, and cloud-soft rice layered for the perfect bite every time.

The signature is the American Sliced Beef Don. This is a Red Rock original, featuring thin ribbons of beef stacked like petals, topped with creamy sauce and a raw egg. It’s worth the visit for this alone.

Red Rock started in Japan back in the late ’80s, but didn’t make its way to California until 2017, and we’re so glad it did.

If steak is your love language, this place should be your next stop.

Did you know Redondo Beach once produced something more valuable than gold?

Before the surfboards and volleyball courts, Redondo Beach was built on something a bit more elemental: salt. 🧂🌊

This beach city once cradled a shimmering lagoon known as the Old Salt Lake, or Lake Salinas. Fed by natural springs, it is a vital part of Redondo Beach history.

Today, the only sign of this once-bustling hub lies quietly in front of the AES power plant.
It’s easy to miss. But once you know it’s there, you’ll never see this stretch of Redondo the same way.

If you’re craving rich, comforting Filipino food, pickyourplate1 in Hawthorne is the place to be.

Set up cafeteria-style, you build your plate by the scoop or by the pound. The lineup changes slightly each week, but you’ll always find Filipino classics alongside a few dishes you may not have tried before (and definitely should). Everything is fresh, flavorful, and ready to go, making it a great spot for a quick lunch break.

The move is to go on a Thursday. That’s when they bring out the lechon: crispy, golden pork with juicy meat and crunchy skin. It’s even better than it looks.

The portions are big, the staff is friendly, and the food tastes incredible. Go early for lechon and enjoy your feast!

This might be the most charming little Italian café in the South Bay, tucked in a quiet Torrance strip mall, caffetrevenezie is small, cozy, and full of heart.

The espresso is made the traditional way, by the owner himself, with care and attention to detail that’s hard to find. If you order a cappuccino to stay, it comes in a porcelain cup with an elegant swirl of foam on top. Delicious.

The vibe inside is warm and friendly; framed photos line the walls while regulars enjoy their espresso. It’s the kind of place where you forget where you are.

You might stop in for a quick coffee but make sure to try their sandwiches and pastries. The panini is fresh and perfectly balanced: soft, crisped bread filled with melted cheese and quality ingredients. Simple, but unforgettable.

This isn’t a café designed for laptops or work calls—it’s a place to slow down, sip your espresso, and enjoy the pause.

From dunes to destinations…

Manhattan Beach sand traveled all the way to Hawaii! 

Manhattan Beach was blanketed in massive dunes, some towering over 60 feet high in the 1920s. They were huge and in the way of developers. 

So they shipped the sand out…all the way to Hawaii. It was used to rebuild Waikiki’s eroding shoreline.

You can still climb the remnants of those original dunes at Sand Dune Park. But most of it is living its second life across the ocean.

Next time you’re in Manhattan Beach, or Waikiki, take a moment to look down. That sand might have come a long way.

If you’re craving fresh, flavorful Mexican food, zacatecasfamilyrestaurant in Hawthorne needs to be on your list. 

This local gem has been holding it down for 22 years, serving up generous portions, bold flavors, and some of the warmest service in the South Bay.

They’re known for the legendary Tom’s Burrito, and once you try it, you get it. It’s massive: stuffed with carne asada, beans, onions, and guac and covered in red and/or green salsa with melty cheese inside and out. Rich, savory, messy in the best way.

The vibe inside is exactly what you want: as soon as you sit down, you’re hit with freshly made tortilla chips and salsa. The staff is quick, funny, and makes you feel like you’ve been coming here for years, even if it’s your first time.

There are no wrong moves on the menu. You need to check it out!

Only a few steps to the beach, thegreenstorehb is the neighborhood deli-meets-mini-mart that has everything you need for the perfect picnic. Grab a sandwich, a cold drink, and a snack (or three), then head straight to the water.

Don’t skip the breakfast menu, the burrito was so good. Whether you post up on the patio with ocean views or make a straight shot to the sand, you’re set.

Tucked behind the historic USS Iowa in San Pedro, vickysdoghouse isn’t your average hot dog stand. 

On this docked piece of history sits a laid-back gem serving everything from classic dogs to onion ring-loaded creations, all built on Nathan’s hot dogs with soft Hawaiian rolls.

The setup is casual and summer-ready. Grab a seat on the deck, hot dog in hand, and watch the port traffic cruise by. And don’t forget a side of tots or fries.

The name is a nod to Vicky, the ship’s canine mascot from the 1940s, who now serves as a popular scavenger hunt on board. It’s a playful detail that adds to the charm.

No tickets are required to get a dog, just follow the signs to Vicky’s and walk right up. 

The parking is the same lot as the USS Iowa. It’s the perfect pit stop whether you’re touring the ship or just swinging by for a bite.
A must for hot dog fans!

Hidden on a busy street in Gardena, meijitofu might look like just a door and a sandwich board menu, but behind the pickup window is some of the best tofu in California.

This isn’t your average tofu block. Handmade with high-quality ingredients, Meiji’s tofu is soft, clean, and seriously next level. The supreme (aka kumidashi) is dense, creamy, and almost custard-like. Eat it straight from the container or top it with something sweet or savory—it’s unlike anything you’ve had before. Bring your own spoon and dig in right there on the curb.

For the purists, go for the soft or firm blocks. Just a heads-up: you might end up taking a bite before you even get home.

The staff is friendly and helpful, especially if it’s your first visit. But don’t wait too long, they sell out. Go early and stock up!

A plan to build 16 homes on a vacant lot near Clipper Road and Palos Verdes Drive South is moving forward—despite early uncertainty.

After purchasing the coastal property in 2022, a first-time developer submitted plans under the updated RPV zoning rules. Some neighbors pushed back, and the city considered action.

But under California’s SB 330 and under RPV’s new housing element plan, cities are prohibited from reducing zoning capacity once a project application is filed. Groups like YIMBY Law warned that blocking it could trigger builder’s remedy and lead to legal trouble.

In the end, the city chose NOT to fight it. ✅ The project was approved last week.

What are your thoughts? Too much new housing in Rancho Palos Verdes or much need home inventory on a vacant lot?

The burgers from spreadplease will leave you full, happy, and already planning your next visit. Located inside twogunsespresso, this pop-up has been serving up burger perfection for the past five months—and yes, the hype is very real.

The burgers are next level. Thin, crispy-edged patties cooked in beef tallow for that extra-rich flavor, stacked on buttery brioche buns with their signature house-made sauces and just the right amount of juicy, savory magic. 

You can keep it simple or go wild with their free “mods”—think lettuce, tomato, chopped chilis, raw onions... whatever fits your flavor mood. I recommend doubling up. I doubled up the patties on both of my burgers and it just makes it that much better.

The sides are no afterthought either. Whether you’re going all in with loaded fries or keeping it classic, they complement the burgers perfectly.

This is the kind of spot where you’ll clean your plate without even thinking twice. A must-visit for any burger lover in the South Bay.
