Hi, welcome the famous Sand Section in Manhattan Beach California,
best known for spectacular ocean views, proximity to the beach,
and an abundance of outdoor activities. Located in the westernmost part in
Manhattan Beach.
The Manhattan Beach Sand Section gets its name for well being so close to the sand.
The Manhattan Beach Sand Section is very walkable.
Day or night you'll see folks walking their dogs
taking a jog down the Strand or strolling through downtown.
The Sand Section has a very European feel to it, with cafes, restaurants and
exciting nightlife
within walking distance from the quiet residential streets.
Properties West of Highland Avenue are closer to the beach and usually priced a bit higher.
One compromise to living in the Sand Section is their homes are built with
only a three foot setback
so you're very close to your next-door neighbors likely to have no yard at all.
Most homes are two or three stories with the entertaining area upstairs to
maximize for the stunning ocean views.
I'm in addition, Manhattan Beach has some of the best schools in the entire country.
Children living in the Sand Section usually go to Grand View Elementary
in the north,
or Robinson Elementary in the south end, both boasting high API scores.
The Manhattan Beach Sand Section as many distinct neighborhoods
each with its own personality.
the strand, a wide cement walkway along the beach
popular with joggers bikers and dog walkers

with prices ranging up to $50 million plus. Most properties can boast
unblockable ocean view is that can see the whitewater breaking on the shore.
East-west slots on the Strand are usually 33 by 100 feet
The El Porto neighborhood in North Manhattan Beach is a mix of businesses
and multi-family unit properties.
It has the highest residential density in Manhattan Beach so lots are small
and many are duplexes or triplexes. A walk street is a pedestrian-only street,
no through traffic.
Walk streets foster a sense of community among neighbors encouraging interaction
and enjoyment of the outdoors. First built in 1913, walk streets in the
Sand Section are quiet,
charming and perfect for family outings. Homes on the North Walk streets are on sloped
lots with big views of the ocean,
while South walk streets are often on flat lots without ocean views.
The downtown area which runs along the main drag in Manhattan Beach Boulevard
has great shops restaurants and more. The Green Belt, which divides Valley and
Ardmore Avenue is called Veterans Parkway which is
the eastern boundary of the Sand Section. In addition to the Green Belt the Sand Section
has three other parks:
Live Oak Park, Sand Dune Park and Bruce's Beach
that are open to the public year-round for picnics and outdoor fun.
One fun fact about our beaches is that in the nineteen twenties and thirties
the soft sand from Manhattan Beach was sent to Hawaii to line the tropical
shores of Waikiki's resorts.
For these reasons and so much more, that's why the Sand sections is such a
desirable place to live.
