Just Down the Road. New Listing in Fusion South Bay

September 21, 2023 by Keith Kyle

Not in Three Sixty But Just Down the Street – New Listing in Fusion South Bay

5514 W 149th Place #12 in Fusion – Listed for $1,075,000

There definitely hasn’t been much to talk about in Three Sixtys neighbor to the south in the gated community of Fusion South Bay. There have been a historically low number of listings and sales in the community.

That has finally changed….at least temporarily…. with the listing of a 3 bedroom 2 bath condo at 5514 W 149th Place which is a G layout.

The home is in great condition and is a very nice “G layout”(click to see floorplan) with a split level design, good square footage, multiple balconies and open layout. Enjoy floor to ceiling windows in the living room, soaring ceilings and a private balcony/patio. Up a small set of stairs is the open kitchen and dining areas overlooking the living room. The kitchen and dining rooms overlook the living areas and also enjoys another outdoor patio area. The kitchen in the G model is very open with a large island and plenty of space. This home features granite counters, stainless appliances and ample cabinets and storage spaces. Both the living room and dining/kitchen offers hardwood floors.

As with all of the condos and townhomes in Fusion the community is served by the award winning Wiseburn School District.

Community amenities include a very nice pool and spa, small playground, half basketball court and an abundance of landscaped walking paths.

New Listing in Nearby Gated Community of Fusion

May 15, 2023 by Keith Kyle

5403 W 149th Place Unit#1, Hawthorne, CA 90250 – Asking $895,000

While this isn’t in Three Sixty, home buyers are often looking in Fusion South Bay as well given the similar locations and same school system. While the community and amenities are much more impressive in Three Sixty, the advantage of Fusion is the lower home prices.

2023 has started as the slowest year ever for listings in Fusion but there is finally a new listing in the complex. 5403 149th Pl #1 is a fairly rare 2 bedroom “C” floorplan with one of the most open layouts of all the home styles. The layout offers a 2 car attached garage and entryway on the first level, very open main level featuring the kitchen, living and dining areas along with a small balcony. The kitchen has been updated and features nice wood cabinetry, stainless appliances and granite countertops. Both Bedrooms are on the top level and each have their own private bath. Laundry is conveniently located on this level as well. As with all of the homes in Fusion South Bay the home has central heat and A/C.

This Manhattan Beach adjacent community is in the Hollyglen neighborhood of Hawthorne. Community features and amenities include a nice pool and spa area, fitness “stations” throughout the community, half court basketball, playground and various grassy park areas.

Fusion sits within the boundaries of the award winning Wiseburn School District.

2 Bedroom Townhome in Fusion South Bay Sells for $985,000

March 31, 2022 by Keith Kyle

***Please not that this listing sold earlier this year for $985,000***

Since there’s nothing currently on the real estate market in Three Sixty as of 3/31 we wanted to tell you about another option for those looking for something in the Hollyglen neighborhood of Hawthorne. Just down the street from 360 is the smaller gated community of Fusion South Bay. The newest townhome listing in Fusion just recently hit the market. This is a beautifully updated 2 bedroom E floorplan townhome located 5406 w 149th Pl #14 and is priced at $929K. The E layout is a fairly popular floorplan as most spaces and rooms are fairly large and the living room offers high ceilings giving it wonderful natural light.

This beautiful townhome has been extensively updated and is not your typical original builder finishes. Updates include cabinetry upgrades with custom storage, quartz countertops, hardwood floors and more. The home has a 2 car attached garage. The main drawback of this unit is the location as it overlooks the So Cal Edison substation and the various industrial looking towers and wires. The owners and the community have done an admirable job in hiding it but it’s definitely hard to ignore.

Fusion South Bay definitely lacks the resort level amenities of Three Sixty but HOA dues and prices are lower.

As with all condos and townhomes in Fusion, the home has central A/C and is part of the award winning Wiseburn School District.

How Are Three Sixty and Fusion South Bay Similar and Different?

March 14, 2022 by Keith Kyle

What is Similar and What is Different Between Three Sixty and Fusion South Bay?

We are often contacted by home buyers interested in both the gated community of Three Sixty as well as Fusion South Bay. Many have just a basic understanding of the two communities and what each has to offer. The two communities have a very different look and vibe. Three Sixty has a real feeling of community with multiple social areas, people always around walking dogs or just going for a stroll…..Fusion has a bit more of a younger commuter feel. This is still a great community feel, but overall it feels a bit more like an area where most are off to work during the day.

They are quite a bit different so here’s rundown of some of the similarities and differences:

Similarities

Both communities are gated complexes
Both are in the Hollyglen neighborhood of Hawthorne CA
Both are served by the highly ranked Wiseburn School District
Both are built after 2005 and still have a fairly new feel to the interiors
Both offer A/C in all of the homes, townhomes and condos
All homes have private garages
Both communities have pool/jacuzzi areas
Both are great for commuters with freeway access very close by

Differences

Prices: Three Sixty is generally considerably higher priced (for similar square footage) than Fusion.
- The 2021 average sales price of two bedroom homes in Three Sixty was $907,719.
- The 2021 average sales price of two bedroom homes in Fusion was $800,559.
Variety of Home types: Three sixty has a much larger variety of homes and styles. They have single family style detached homes, townhomes and single level condos. Fusion also has different layouts but not the same variety
Home Sizes & Layouts: Fusion only has 2 and 3 bedroom homes. Three Sixty ranges from studios to 4 bedrooms
Amenities & Facilities: While Fusion has a nice pool and spa, small basketball court and small playground…they have the typical feel of gated communties…nice but nothing uncommon. Three Sixty, on the other, has a true resort feel with luxury amenities. This is more like life on vacation with an incredible pool deck with lap pool, fun pool and jacuzzi, BBQ area, community firepit, hotel style lounges (even some cabanas), incredible clubhouse with flatscreen TVs, pool and more. There are also 2 dog parks (big dog/little dog) grassy park areas, playground and paddle tennis/basketball courts. In addition they have a legitimate fitness center with all the bells and whistles of a great gym.
Community: As mentioned above the two communities just feel a bit different. Fusion’s location is great but due to it’s size (much smaller than 360) and difference of amenities it just doesn’t have the same neighborhood feel. People really seem to know other residents in 360 and that isn’t quite as much the case in Fusion.
On site management: 360 has an on site manager/office. Fusion does not have an onsite manager
Size: Three Sixty is much larger with over 600 homes while Fusion has 280 homes. The layout of the communities is much different as well. Fusion is in the shape of an L so it’s long and narrow….360 is more of a large triangle which allows for the community center and pool areas to be more of a hub and gathering spot as everything is centered around those two areas.

Three Sixty Isn’t the Only Crazy Real Estate Market – New Listing in Fusion Proves That

May 22, 2021 by Keith Kyle

We’ve posted a lot lately about the crazy real estate market in Three Sixty South Bay. It seems that every sale lately is a record for that type of home. As many of our clients are looking in both 360 and Fusion we like to keep you current on both communities. The newest home for sale in Fusion South Bay shows that the real estate market in that gated community is just as crazy.

5507 149th Pl # 8 in Fusion South Bay is one of the smallest floorplans offered in Fusion and is a B condo with 2 bedrooms and 2 baths and approximately 1,030 square feet. This is certainly one of the nicest remodels we’ve ever seen in the community. It’s extensive remodel and upgrade really does give it an entirely different look and feel. It’s still the same details and size and it’s priced WAY higher than any have ever sold at. The previous highest sale for an A or B floorplan was $740,000 back in Februrary. As A and B units generally sell at similar prices, is it possible that this newest listing could sell for almost $75,000 more than the last one?

Hollyglens Other Gated Community – New Listing in Fusion South Bay

March 3, 2021 by Keith Kyle

While our site is primarily dedicated to the homes, townhomes and condos of Three Sixty at South Bay, we often have buyers that are interested in newer construction, gated communities and great locations and nearby Fusion South Bay also fits that description. It is a different real estate market with far fewer homes both built and that become available, but as prices are usually significantly less expensive it’s a great option. The latest townhome to hit the Fusion real estate market is a D floorplan which is the middle range of the 2 bedrooms in terms of square footage. The D layout offers a nice living level with a good sized living room, dining area and larger kitchen with center island. It’s a popular layout with the only drawbacks being that this layout has a smaller balcony and the guest bedroom does not have a bath on the same level. Priced at $819,000 this will definitely be a test to see just where the market has come in the last 6 months with the last three sales of D unts being at $795,000, $740,000 and $755,000.
