This established beach community features 2.1 miles of shoreline, anchored by the historic Manhattan Beach Pier.

Current rental rates reflect the area's desirability, with one-bedroom apartments averaging $2,161 monthly and three-bedroom homes at $5,950, showing a 3.5% annual increase. The Hill Section offers sweeping ocean views, while the Sand Section provides walkable streets close to the beach.
The community embraces an outdoor lifestyle centered around recreation and natural beauty. Residents enjoy professional-grade beach volleyball courts, surfing spots at El Porto Beach, and Polliwog Park's expansive grounds featuring a lake and amphitheater. Downtown Manhattan Beach offers high-end dining and independent boutiques, while the Manhattan Beach Unified School District maintains its position as one of California's top-performing school systems. Local ordinances help preserve the town's coastal character by carefully managing development.
