Manhattan Beach

It’s hard to think of a hotter real estate market than Manhattan Beach over the last 10 years.  The perfect beach town has seen an incredible influx of wealthy residents that has driven home prices to unattainable levels for 99% of buyers.  But unlike other extremely high end parts of Los Angeles County, Manhattan Beach has the rare combination of incredible luxury and relaxation.

One of the first things to know about Manhattan Beach, is that there are 4 main sections: the ‘Sand Section’, the ‘Hill Section’, the ‘Tree Section’, and east of Sepulveda.  Each section has incredible pros, and from our personal experience, virtually no cons!

What has become an integral part of Manhattan Beach, is the lack of surprise of who calls it home.  From NBA and NHL players, to professional tennis stars, to A-list actors/actresses, you never know who you are going to bump into grabbing a drink at Ercoles’ (MB’s oldest bar – circa 1927, affectionately known as Erc’s), a burger at Simmzy’s, or your kids’ weekend soccer game.  Most of those famous inhabitants will tell you it’s that lack of surprise that makes them want to live here.

If you are lucky enough to afford Manhattan Beach, you won’t find a more perfect city to live. Period.
