When it comes to the best in Southern California coastal lifestyle, it doesn’t get any better than life on The Strand in Manhattan Beach. Manhattan Beach’s beach front address offers some of the most sought after, and valuable properties in California. Prices along this oceanfront stretch have skyrocketed in the past few years as more luxury and high end buyers have determined that Manhattan Beach is the place to own and live. Builders, pro athletes, entertainers and other big money players have snapped up everything from luxurious new construction to fixers and tear downs. That trend may be slowing, however, as the number of homes available continues to increase while the current listings often take longer to sell.
