Tag: Manhattan Beach real estate
The appreciated values of MB property has done better than most other areas of the country and the home values have held up pretty well and the property in all of the Manhattan Beach neighborhoods; The Sand Section, The Hill Section, Gas Lamp Section, Tree Section, The Village, East Manhattan Beach, Liberty Village and North Section (old El Porto) have held their prices for the most part. Since the homes in Manhattan Beach are always highly sought after, my friend indicated that real estate here will continue to be hot. Manhattan Beach has so much going for it; award winning schools, the historic pier, the warm sand beaches and lifestyle and great shopping options without having to travel very far. Top restaurants, cafes and coffee houses are almost everywhere within walking distance and that is one thing I like for sure. Of course the golf course at the Manhattan Country Club is one of the most popular places in the city for residents and out of town guests. Manhattan Beach has all the good things that a large metro area should have but with a small town atmosphere and of course the layed back beach and surfing lifestyle. Read More
I was enjoying the surf while strolling along the beach just north of the Pier yesterday and overheard a family of tourists sitting on the sand discussing the subject of possibly moving to a Manhattan Beach Home from their present home somewhere on the east coast. I thought to myself about how lucky I was to be able to live here and enjoy this perfect weather. I am sure that so many people in the mid-west, with their flooding problems, and on the east coast, would give anything to be able to live in Manhattan Beach and to live the great relaxed beach lifestyle that we all take for granted. I just cannot imagine living anywhere else but right here in M.B. Read More
A good of friend of mine sent me the following email the other day. She said, "I am realizing that I am spending less and less time in my car than what I used to. Virtually everything I need is almost within walking distance of my home, which is close to the beach-front. Shopping is a breeze downtown or at The Village Shopping Center up on PCH and Marine Avenue. Upscale stores like Macy's and other national retail outlets are available as are specialty shops and many one of a kind chic shops. We have wonderful fully equipped parks, many with tennis courts, basketball courts and other recreational facilities. Even along the beach are park areas with grass, restrooms, etc. for the pleasure of who ever wants to use them. They are well manicured and very well kept and have lush green lawns and trees for that summertime needed shade. I can ride my bike to work and don't need my car to go shopping; "I think I am going to get rid of the ole gas guzler". I am going green all the way ! " Read More
