Planned communities and townhomes east of Sepulveda.
Neighborhood 04
What buyers should know
Manhattan Village is unlike the traditional neighborhoods elsewhere in Manhattan Beach. It is a guard-gated, planned residential community with an HOA, landscaped common areas, pools and spas, walking paths, playground areas, and community facilities. Buyers can choose among attached and detached homes, so it can appeal to someone who wants Manhattan Beach while preferring a planned community with shared amenities and maintained common areas.
The location is also part of the appeal. Manhattan Village Shopping Center, recreation, athletic facilities, and everyday services are nearby, giving residents convenient access to shopping and other amenities without relying on Downtown Manhattan Beach.
Who this area may fit
Manhattan Village is farther from the beach and Downtown, and ownership comes with an HOA and community rules. Someone who wants a traditional Manhattan Beach residential street, immediate beach access, or no homeowners association may prefer another neighborhood. Someone who values a guard-gated community, shared amenities, maintained common areas, and a more planned residential environment may find Manhattan Village particularly appealing.

Should I consider a Manhattan Village townhome instead of a detached house elsewhere in Manhattan Beach?
Yes, if the community itself appeals to you. A Manhattan Village townhome can provide guard-gated living, shared amenities, maintained common areas, and a different ownership experience from maintaining a detached house and yard.
The tradeoffs include HOA dues and rules, shared or attached construction depending on the property, and greater distance from Downtown and the beach.
