Manhattan Beach, CA -Nestled into a secluded, guard-gated area of Manhattan Beach, Manhattan Village is an exclusive collection of 400 custom town homes and court homes, representing the finest in beach living. The development was built mainly between 1983 and 1987 with some newer Estate Homes that were more recently constructed.
The community boasts a main pool and spa area, four additional spas within the community, and a quiet family atmosphere. In addition to a seven member Board of Directors, the community is governed by a variety of active committees.
This type of community is unique in the South Bay especially the beach cities. It is extremely rare to find a gated community and conformity in the area, as most of the area is made up of 50 and 60 year old tracts that have been partially redeveloped.
The village has been very popular for newly placed L.A. Athletes for many reasons. SportStar Relocation, a real estate and concierge company owned and operated by Ed Kaminsky, often receives continual requests from their clients to find special properties throughout the country. The proximity to the training center in El Segundo and LAX, makes it an easy commute, and the gated/private aspect solidifies it as a great choice for athletes and their families. When players are on the road or taking time off in the off season, there is comfort knowing there is constant security in the area. Manhattan Beach is not known to have celebrity stalkers or paparazzi but the added defense of a guard gated community is definitely a plus. Ed Kaminsky is a local realtor at Shorewood Realtors and represents many of the athletes that buy and sell in the South Bay.
One of the biggest draws of the community is the serenity and beauty that exudes throughout. This is a low density community and only allows for 8.7 homes per acre. With this type of density you have plenty of green and open space; lush landscaping adds to the beauty of the area. Besides the pool and activity areas, there is also a private entrance to Manhattan Village Shopping plaza that has everything you need from great restaurants, a grocery store, movie theatres, shopping mall and nearly every bank you can think of, all within walking distance or a very short drive.
Although the adjacent golf course is not a part of the development it does offer nearby recreation for all: for some lucky homeowners it offers great vistas on the course from the homes. The golf course is a 9-hole course with mainly par 3s making it a perfect place to practice your short game.
