The week in Manhattan Beach
What moved, what dropped and what changed hands in Manhattan Beach, read the way an inspector reads a house.
The Manhattan Beach file →The largest reduction on the desk was 1626 1st Street — down $200,000, from $6,899,000 to $6,699,000, listed by Strand Hill Properties.
17 listings changed status: 8 sold, 6 active under contract, 1 coming soon, 1 pending. The brokerage on every row below is the listing brokerage on the record, not ours.
24 homes came to market, asking from $1,399,000 to $25,500,000.
That is the week, address by address. What any one of these rows means for a house on the same street is the question the file answers next.

NeighbourhoodSand Section
The city's westernmost, ocean-side neighborhood of quiet walk-street lots, with oceanfront homes lining the Strand's bike-and-pedestrian path; since 2010 the city has restricted new lot mergers to two parcels after a combined 16,000-square-foot oceanside home was built in 2008.
NeighbourhoodHill Section
Built into the steep bluff above the beach, the Hill Section is known for panoramic ocean and city views and a high share of remodeled or newly constructed homes, reflecting the neighborhood's cut-and-fill slope terrain.
