Manhattan Beach

The birthplace of beach volleyball — luxurious homes, less crowded beaches and an upscale downtown. Arguably the most exclusive of California's Beach Cities.

Beach Cities of California

Arguably the most exclusive of the three

Part of the "Beach Cities" of California — alongside Redondo Beach and Hermosa Beach — Manhattan Beach stands apart for its most luxurious homes, less crowded beaches, and upscale shopping and dining scene.

Living in Manhattan Beach

Birthplace of beach volleyball

Manhattan Beach is the birthplace of beach volleyball and a longstanding hotspot for surfing. The city calendar builds around signature events: the Manhattan Beach Open and the International Surf Festival.

Attractions include the Manhattan Beach Pier and its free-admission roundhouse aquarium at the end of the pier. The Strand — a paved pedestrian path running along the sand — is the city's daily spine, from morning runs to sunset walks.

Upscale Downtown Manhattan Beach delivers the shopping, dining and after-work rhythm that pairs so well with the beachfront lifestyle.

Real Estate in Manhattan Beach

Strand-front homes at the top of the market

Waterfront homes along The Strand command among the highest prices in Southern California. The market is predominantly single-family, with only a small share of townhomes — inventory that reflects the city's residential character.

Architecture leans distinctly contemporary, defined by large glass windows and a design vocabulary shaped by the ocean light. And yet Manhattan Beach is a historic town: homes built from the 1930s onward still anchor entire streets, giving the city its layered, lived-in feel.

The Neighborhood

Living here

Manhattan Beach is the crown jewel of the South Bay — a volleyball-loving, beach-cruiser kind of town where the pier anchors a walkable downtown filled with upscale restaurants, boutique coffee shops, and award-winning schools. Families, tech executives, and professional athletes make up the core demographic.

The Market

Median home price ~$3.5M, with Sand Section properties starting at $4M and oceanfront estates reaching $25M+. Inventory moves fast — many homes sell within days, often above asking. The Hill Section and Tree Section attract families seeking larger lots.
