The very epitome of luxury coastal living in Southern California is The Strand in Manhattan Beach and Hermosa Beach. These homes have seen values increase dramatically over the last 18 months with homes priced and selling for over $10,000,000 being fairly common. With the number of homes on The Strand actually decreasing in the past 10 years with lots being combined and multi unit buildings being replaced with larger single family homes, the values look to continue to rise in the future.
