Top neighborhoods in Manhattan Beach

Sand Section
Sand Section
What it’s like to live in Sand Section
Beach lifestyle defines the Sand Section, where rental options steps from the Pacific offer Southern California's iconic coastal living at its most authentic. The neighborhood extends from the sand to Highland Avenue, with the popular Strand walking path connecting to broader beach communities. Though rental rates significantly exceed inland alternatives, many properties include unexpected amenities from roof decks with ocean views to outdoor showers for post-surf cleanup. The primary consideration remains limited parking, particularly during summer beach season, though many residents manage without vehicles given the walkable commercial districts along Manhattan Beach Boulevard. The neighborhood's microclimate typically features slightly cooler temperatures and frequent marine layer mornings creating natural air conditioning during spring and early summer months that inland communities lack entirely.

Eastside Manhattan Beach
Eastside Manhattan Beach
What it’s like to live in Eastside Manhattan Beach
Families discover genuine community in Eastside Manhattan Beach, where California ranch homes and modest beach bungalows create quieter alternatives to the bustling coastal scene just blocks away. The neighborhood surrounds Polliwog Park with its popular duck pond and Marine Avenue's local businesses serving residents rather than tourists. Though lacking direct beach frontage, most locations remain easily bikeable to shoreline recreation while offering significantly more space for your rental dollar compared to oceanfront districts. The area's excellent school reputation attracts households with children willing to rent rather than buy to access the district, while the westside positioning provides cool ocean breezes moderating temperatures compared to inland communities. The primary consideration remains limited rental inventory within this primarily owner-occupied community, creating competitive markets requiring prompt decision-making when desirable units become available.
