By |2021-07-21T07:45:11-07:00March 6th, 2017|Beach Cities, Beach Cities Luxury, Hermosa Beach, Manhattan Beach, Redondo Beach|

I was browsing about on Zillow for a luxury home in Manhattan Beach for one of my clients. I was surprised to see Zillow is predicting a small increase in value for the area in 2017.  On the other hand, property in the Beach Cities of the South Bay of Los Angeles has enjoyed a phenomenal surge in value since the housing market recovered from the recession years of 2008-2010.

The South Bay of Los Angeles is home to Manhattan Beach, Hermosa Beach and Redondo Beach, collectively known as the Beach Cities.  If you're following Pacific Coast Highway down the California coast Manhattan Beach is the first city of the trio of South Bay beach towns you will encounter.  Due to its close proximity to LAX  and other urban amenities of Los Angeles, its location demands a hefty price since Manhattan Beach enjoys all the benefits of living in a beach town as well as the convenience of being close to airports, cultural events, world class shopping and dining.
