The Way It Was.

“’It seems like only yesterday...,’ so to speak. Driving down Sepulveda Blvd. from Westwood Village in my ‘32 Ford, longboards sticking out of the rumble seat in the rear; we made our first stop at Manhattan Beach, before proceeding on to points south. The only reminders still standing today are a few million dollar clapboard beach houses, the pier roundhouse and Ercoles Saloon.

Beach properties were affordable then, when the beach seemed to have limited attraction mostly for weekenders and vacationers who peferred to stay close to home rather than travel to Catalina Island or Big Bear. That was before the ‘price barrier’ emerged and the beach became stylish.

And this month the median price in Manhattan Beach for townhouses ($1,525,000) has exceeded single family homes ($1,308,000). No matter how you look at it, times have changed.

Like the license plate frame proclaims: ‘Manhattan Beach...Heaven On Earth.’
I’ll be happy to show you around.”

Feel free to contact me if you need help locating property in So. California's beautiful, balmy South Bay: Manhattan Beach, Hermosa Beach, Redondo Beach, El Segundo, Palos Verdes.
