Ever wonder how Rosecrans Avenue in Manhattan Beach got its name?  It was named after General William Starke Rosecrans, or “Old Rosy” as he was known to his men. He was born in Kingston Township, Ohio, on Sept. 6, 1819. The original family name was “Rosenkranz,” which means crown or wreath of roses. He attended West Point, and upon his graduation joined the Army Corps of Engineers. He resigned his commission in 1854 after reaching the rank of first lieutenant in order to spend more time with his family. With the outbreak of the Civil War, Rosecrans re-enlisted in the Army and became a brigadier general. He was considered one of the Union’s brightest leaders until his forces were defeated at Chickamauga in Sept. 1863. After that battle, Secretary of War Edwin Stanton and Gen. Ulysses Gr...

Working and living in a beach community, much of the appeal, and what buyers are searching for are views of the ocean. Many listings tout their panoramic ocean views, whitewater views, Catalina views etc so why can't I seem to find a picture of it? Buyers these days are savvy and understand that realtors often use words like cozy or quaint when they mean small, charming to mean original condition, etc. so when they can't see the view, they just may not believe it has the view. We are not only selling homes in Manhattan Beach, but a lifestyle and if a picture is worth a 1000 words, this is a missed opportunity.

There is an area in East Manhattan Beach in the area known as the poet streets. If the three most recent sales are any indication demand is driving prices way up with all three not only receiving multiple offers but selling dramatically over asking price.  The home at 418 Chabela was listed at $1,069,000 and closed escrow at $1,250,000....the home at 1150 Keats St was listed at $1,075,000 and closed at $1,275,000, and the home at 1250 Shelley St was listed at $1,175,000 and closed escrow at $1,325,000.

I read an article yesterday stating the luxury brands (think Tiffany's, Rolex etc.) are enjoying a surge in business and luxury homes in Manhattan Beach are experiencing higher demand too.   We recently showed Manhattan Beach luxury homes to an out-of the-area client.  They loved the seaside location and the fact Manhattan Beach is not a sleepy little California coastal town.  It's trendy and hip and that's exactly what this 30-something couple want.  They want the beach nearby but they also want fine dining, entertainment and shopping too.  After looking in other beach communities in the Los Angeles area they deiced Manhattan Beach was the town for them and you may too! - Norma (310) 493-8333 The newest listings of homes for sale in Manhattan Beach.

Homes in the Manhattan Beach "tree section" are always a hot commodity and the market never took too much of a hit during the market slow down of the past few years. Due in part to great schools, family friendly neighborhoods, proximity to the beach, and limited supply, tree section luxury homes and Manhattan Beach real estate in general, has always remainded strong. The market has really taken off since the beginning of the year with most home listings getting multiple offers and often selling above list price. The above chart shows the past 12 months of homes sales in Manhattan Beach and it's not to hard to see the dramatic jump in pending home sales.   The tree section of Manhattan Beach is bordered by Rosecrans to the north, Sepulveda Blvd to the East, Manhattan Beach Blvd to the so...

The sand section of Manhattan Beach offers the epitome of California coastal living. The sand section is the area of Manhattan Beach that is bordered by the beach and ocean to the west, and generally the streets of Valley and Ardmore to the east. What makes this area so desirable is the proximity to the beach and the ocean. The area offers a variety of housing options with oceanfront luxury homes on The Strand, beautiful "walk street" homes with a wonderful sense of community and often sweeping ocean views, townhomes just a few blocks to the beach, and multi unit homes of North Manhattan, known as El Porto. The market is always very active as the demand is always strong for prime beach real estate. As of mid March there are 9 active homes for sale in the sand section, 21 pending home sa...
