Views –When you’re searching Manhattan Beach real estate situated on the West side of the hill, you will enjoy sweeping views of the ocean from Palos Verdes to Malibu and beyond.

The real estate area of Manhattan Beach hill section is bordered by Pacific Coast Highway to the East, Ardmore Avenue to the West, Manhattan Beach Blvd. to the North and the City of Hermosa Beach to the South.

Custom built in 2007, this Contemporary architectural home combines imported stone & exotic woods to create a natural, modern element to the living space.

The area was developed primarily in the 1950s, but most of those homes have long since been razed for newer, more modern homes to fit the demands of today’s affluent citizens. The lot sizes range from just under 4,000 square feet to some that are well over 15,000 square feet. The average lot is probably closer to 7,000 square feet, allowing for an ample-size home to be built conforming to the needs of a large family with a nice backyard. Prices in this area are almost all over $1,000,000.  Although many local experts know there are homes that easily exceed that value, the owners have never opted to sell – and why would they if they are living their dream? Obviously prices fluctuate based on the market and economy, however price retention in this area have fared very well in the downturn compared to other hard hit markets in the country. Furthermore, when the market is moving up, you could stand to make millions by just sitting in your living room watching your equity rise.
