The city of Manhattan Beach is a jewel. In fact, it’s known as the “pearl” of the South Bay. When viewing the “Queen’s Necklace,” (the Santa Monica Bay coastline from Palos Verdes to Malibu) one can easily appreciate this designation.
One of Manhattan Beach’s most iconic features is its highly recognizable pier. It just exudes understated quality and has “that” look and feel that personifies the city’s special vibe.
Location, location, location has been used to describe real estate decisions. Education, education, education has a huge impact on real estate pricing and maintaining real estate values. The Manhattan Beach Unified School District is ranked the number three school district in California for 2010 and its seven schools have won numerous awards and are ranked 10 out of 10 by greatschools.org.
Manhattan Beach’s proximity to the 105 and 405 freeways makes it an easy commute for residents working on the west side, Century City/Beverly Hills and downtown. Its closeness to LAX, Lakers, Clippers and Kings training centers makes it ideal for those who frequently travel. That’s just one reason so many professional athletes, coaches and entertainment celebrities make it their home.
The triad on the city’s logo states Sun, Sand, Sea. But you will see plenty of Surfing and Sweating as well on one of the world’s sexiest beaches. Whatever your lifestyle, vocation or avocation, there is an abundance of fulfillment awaiting you in Manhattan Beach.
