There’s no doubt that the real estate market in Hermosa Beach is just as hot, if not hotter, than Manhattan Beach, but the newest listing east of PCH at 826 18th is definitely going to help determine if east Hermosa Beach can handle a price for new construction that exceeds some new construction in Manhattan, Hermosa’s more expensive neighbor to the north.  The area east of PCH in Hermosa Beach is generally the least expensive neighborhood in this small coastal community due to the fact that it’s the furthest from the beach.
