The South Bay is often referred to as “the bubble” and that can mean a lot of things…..lifestyle, schools and certainly the weather. There’s no doubt that the weather impacts the home values and a weekend like this one makes it clear why. While we in the bubble hear about this heat wave, with tempatures well into the triple digits, it just couldn’t be nicer at the beach. With tempatures “cooking” us in the mid 80’s and ocean tempatures nearing 70, you just wouldn’t know that it’s hot just a few miles away. From bikerides on the beach, to surfing and playing volleyball, to shopping and dining in downtown Manhattan Beach, there’s something for everyone. While in town take a look at the Manhattan Beach open houses if you’re interested in finding out just what it’s like to live in this wonderful coastal community.

Coastal Elegance at 516 4th Street in Manhattan Beach
By Keith Kyle
One of the homes currently on the market (as of July 8th, 2016) that we really like is located at 516 4th Street in the Manhattan Beach sand section. While not on a walkstreet the home sits on a quiet street and has the look and feel of a walkstreet location. The home offers a coastal plantation style with a large front yard and patio offering a great mix of indoor/outdoor living.

11 of 39 Sand Section Homes for Sale are Oceanfront
By Keith Kyle
I’ve written in the past about just how rare and valuable oceanfront homes in Manhattan Beach are. Nothing has changed in that regard as prices have actually reach stratospheric levels and simply put, the number of homes on the beach is limited and always will be. They may rebuild some of them, but there’s no room to build new homes.
Having said all of that it’s fairly amazing that over a quarter of the homes available in the sand section of Manhattan Beach are located on the oceanfront street known as The Strand. A few years back it would have been difficult to find a single Strand home for sale. Now there are 11 and most are staying on the market for quite a while. The primary reason for this is that most Strand home sellers are asking for fairly unbelievable prices for their homes. While there’s always a demand for luxury oceanfront homes even the higher end luxury home buyers are priced out of this neighborhood.
