Sand Section
2907 Crest Drive (2br/2ba, 1355 sqft.) offers a compelling, clean, compact little package that begs to become your weekend getaway.
While certainly livable as a home, the property's combination of ocean views, two living spaces, nice, open kitchen and a little pocket patio make for an attractive beach house, with little needed but your sheets and toothbrush to get started.
When you're not using it, the property profiles nicely as a short-term rental, for a little extra income, if that's useful.
From the official description:
"If you like lots of sun, ocean breezes, and massive views from BOTH levels, you found your spot. Along with the TWO ocean view decks, there is a wonderful large lower level patio that easily access the home and is perfect for entertaining all year round ..The large master suite is impressive as well, with a walk-in in closet, plenty of light, and wait for it..... ocean views from bed!. .The home is in great condition and has been meticulously and lovingly cared for over the years.

2200 The Strand A (2br/2ba, 1375 sqft.) is a nicely remodeled waterfront modern that's part of a larger building.
You can't paint a picture of the ocean better than the view from the living space, elevated just above the hubbub on The Strand.
From the official description:
"Presenting an exceptional oceanfront residence with sweeping panoramic views on The Strand in Manhattan Beach. Completely remodeled down to the studs, 2200 The Strand #A seamlessly blends modern luxury with sophisticated coastal living. This smart home is equipped with integrated technology throughout, including motorized window treatments and in-room control panels that provide effortless comfort and convenience.

The primary suite is a true sanctuary, highlighted by a spa-like bathroom with a deep soaking tub, a dramatic floor-to-ceiling custom marble shower, and dual vanities crafted with refined detail. The property includes one-car garage parking plus an additional driveway space—an invaluable amenity at the beach. Ideally positioned, enjoy a scenic ten-block stroll south along The Strand to the Manhattan Beach Pier, or head ten blocks north to the shops and dining of North Manhattan Beach."
2200 The Strand A begins at $5.500M.

1902 Highland Avenue (4br/2ba, 1954 sqft.) is a pleasant enough, mostly original 1960s 2-story on a corner with notable ocean views to the northwest.
Its current condition is poor in some parts, where there is apparent major water damage (hope it's OK to say this!) and a downstairs bath is blocked off by "caution" tape.
They did build some of these older homes pretty solid, and with repairs, this one might well bounce back. No doubt, builders and potential buyers with an eye on new construction are looking at it long and hard, too.
We're inferring that the asking price includes some structure value. Its fate on the market could be instructive for other land-value or nearly-land-value sales that might come later.
From the official description:
"Nestled in the desirable Sand Section of Manhattan Beach, just about a block from the sparkling ocean, this vintage charmer presents a unique opportunity for the visionary buyer. With 4 spacious bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, this single-family residence is a major fixer-upper or the perfect canvas for a complete teardown and new construction. The home invites you to reimagine and transform its potential into your dream beach retreat. Surrounded by the vibrant atmosphere of Manhattan Beach's coastal lifestyle, this property is waiting for the right person to bring it back to life, creating a stunning oasis just steps away from the waves. Embrace the chance to design your ultimate home in this prime location."
1902 Highland Avenue begins at $2.350M and is open Sat. & Sun. 1:30-3:30pm.

4016 The Strand (4br/6ba, 3330 sqft.) is a newer (2021) condo in a 2-unit building on the waterfront.
It begins its 3rd listing now since April last year, at a price somewhere in the middle of two prior listings ($9.495M and $8.499M).
From the official description:
"[C]ontemporary luxury living meets barefoot beachfront bliss, giving you the feel of a single-family home. Immerse yourself in the quintessential Southern California lifestyle in this newly built modern coastal masterpiece, boasting unobstructed panoramic ocean views and three levels, each delivering a defining moment and experience of its own.

Tree Section
2921 N Poinsettia (3br/3ba, 1836 sqft.) starts out with a gem of a location, one of the treasured streets of the Tree Section.
Asking price begins below $3M (at $2.800, in fact), which is going to draw eyeballs and interest because, well, heck, when was the last time anything this size was offered under $3M in the Trees?
(We have an answer for that... let us know if you need to know.)
The home is interesting as it stands, with some glam remodeling, and more to do. All the baths are slick. The flooring throughout the home is modern. The kitchen is super basic.
Did we mention the sizable, grassy backyard? Not yet! What a nice asset; rare to find anymore in the Trees, and in this case, you have some living spaces opening right out to the yard, which people want.
The primary suite is downstairs, with two more bedrooms up – one quite sizable, the other, definitely more kid-sized. There's a secondary living room upstairs in a landing area, and that space opens to a large deck over the garage. The shared bath has two sinks and an open shower, with the wall-mounted toilet nearby, something of a European wet-room inspiration at work.
From the official description:
"Located on a storybook block of Poinsettia, this charming, tree-lined street sits in the heart of Manhattan Beach’s coveted Tree Section. This beautifully remodeled two-story home offers 1,836 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space, seamlessly blending comfort, style, and functionality."
"The primary suite is conveniently located on the main level and features a private ensuite bathroom. Upstairs, two spacious bedrooms are complemented by a versatile bonus area—ideal for a TV room, home office, or study—with direct access to a lovely deck, perfect for relaxing and enjoying coastal breezes. Meticulously maintained and extensively upgraded, the home features new windows, a new roof, new sewer line, new electrical panel, new ducting, new hardwood floors, and fully remodeled bathrooms. The flat, expansive backyard provides ample space for outdoor entertaining and offers the potential to add a pool, creating the ultimate coastal retreat."
2921 N Poinsettia begins at $2.800M and is open Sat. & Sun. 1-4pm.

966 Rosecrans Avenue (3br/2ba, 1788 sqft.) is truly a masterfully remodeled, single-level home on an oversized lot (nearly 6000 sqft.).
It's tucked well back off the road, with something of a pocket front yard, gated off, such that once inside, you're kind of in this world alone.
The home is a stunner, perhaps held back a bit by location, but you can see someone making their peace with that factor at the right price. The asking is down $50K from a 6-week try late last year.
From the official description:
"Tucked behind lush greenery, this Manhattan Beach haven immediately exudes a sense of calm. Reimagined with a designer’s eye, the home layers organic textures with sculptural details, creating a modern coastal vibe that feels both elevated and soulfully relaxed. Inside, buttery oak floors and tailored finishes set the stage for a single-level layout that flows with ease. The kitchen and baths showcase stonework with tactile depth, dual vanities, and a spa-like primary retreat with double rain showers—a blend of utility and indulgence that feels curated rather than conventional. High ceilings and discreet lighting keep the interiors luminous, while a statement fireplace anchors the living space with understated drama. Equally compelling are the outdoor moments. The front garden feels cloistered and serene, while the backyard unfolds like a private alfresco lounge—ideal for slow mornings, long table dinners, or late-night gatherings under string lights. Living here means enjoying the best of Manhattan Beach at your doorstep. Just minutes from the sand and downtown, and close to Manhattan Village’s dining and shopping, this location captures the essence of California coastal living. It’s a home that invites you to slow down, breathe in the ocean air, and embrace a lifestyle that’s equal parts stylish and relaxed."

East Manhattan Beach
449 S Prospect Ave (4br/3ba, 1904 sqft.) hides a kinda fun and very practical single-level home behind a completely anonymous exterior.
Seriously, if you ever passed by – you would not, often, because Prospect here is a short cul-de-sac street, but stick with us – if you passed by, you would not register much, as you can only see a few shingles, a dark garage door and some ancient Hollywood junipers.
Come in the side entry door, though, and you're in a spacious living room with dramatically arched ceiling, skylights and a view toward the backyard.
The primary suite is separated up toward the front, with a little atrium/patio between that bedroom and the western "wing" of the house, which hosts 3 bedrooms.
With some fresh paint, the home shows as a hybrid of mid-century styles and some relatively modern updates. It's easy to consider another round of cosmetic remodeling to wind up with a compelling final product. So many people seem to be seeking single-level homes. This one is very straightforward.
(We'd contrast it to a neighboring home on the same street that was on the market a couple of times recently – its floorplan was a bit odd, posing the more immediate question of whether the house was a teardown. That home was smaller and was asking more than $500K more than 449 Prospect, and it did not sell.)
From the official description:
"Discover this mid-century modern home nestled on an oversized 8,107 sq. ft. lot at the end of a serene cul-de-sac. This single-story home offers 1,904 sq. ft. of thoughtfully designed living space, featuring an open and airy floor plan with soaring vaulted ceilings and abundant natural light. Inside, you’ll find 4 spacious bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, including a private owner’s suite with views of the interior courtyard—a perfect retreat for relaxation. The home also includes a versatile office/bedroom, ideal for remote work or guests. Enjoy seamless indoor-outdoor living with a charming rear yard and a sun-filled interior courtyard that enhances the home’s bright, inviting atmosphere. Additional highlights include a direct-access garage and a prime location in one of Manhattan Beach’s most desirable neighborhoods."
