This week brings just a few new options.
Last week's top pick did in fact go quickly (400 Manhattan Ave.), and there was little doubt on that one thanks to location. This week, how about 19th/Agnes? (See the first listing below at 738 19th).
In the Hill Section, we'll be open both Saturday and Sunday 2-4PM at Edge's listing at 819 11th. Pop by if you haven't yet! The listing does have 70 photos, but we're always told by people who visit that it's even better in person!
Open house times for new listings are listed below, but you can also click SEARCHES then "Open Houses" at the top of our site, which displays all the Manhattan Beach open houses. There are also links right at the top to Hermosa Beach and Redondo Beach opens.

Tree Section
738 19th St (4br/4ba, 3378 sqft.) puts that old real estate phrase, Location! Location! Location! right up front and center.
Based on this dreamy, quiet corner in the leafy Martyrs area, potential buyers could swarm.
Then they're going to need to assess how much work they want to take on. It's a 1980s traditional-style house, with mostly single-pane windows, some low ceilings (and some high ones), and a couple of quirks to the floorplan. Today's buyers would probably want to update nearly everything, from flooring to kitchen to baths, though the home is clean and perfectly livable, even charming in a retro way, as it stands.
Just like you can't improve the home's dreamy location, it's a bit hard to fix things like the backyard/patio lacking connection to the living spaces (it's beyond the garage). But the price is too high for a lot sale – or is it?
From the official description:
"Tradition and custom details abound in this classic Cape Cod home, situated on a premier, 4547 square foot corner lot in the coveted American Martyrs neighborhood of Manhattan Beach’s Tree Section... [T]his home is enveloped in cedar shingles and bordered by a grassy yard, mature trees, and a brick entryway. Inside, beamed ceilings, spacious rooms, and an abundance of natural light permeate the open spaces. The traditional layout includes an expansive first floor with a gorgeous living room encircled by windows, warmed by a cozy fireplace and a charming window seat."
"The formal dining room is also spacious and the perfect place to host company, while the kitchen offers stainless appliances and significant storage in custom cabinetry. A nearby breakfast nook is tucked in a bay window area and is ideal for casual dining. The large family room boasts a wall of built-ins, loads of storage, and a cozy brick fireplace. Upstairs, four bedrooms feature beamed ceilings, while skylights bathe this level in sunshine. Two bedrooms share a ¾ bath with an additional bedroom suite down the hall. The welcoming primary suite is a vast sanctuary, with cathedral ceilings and a sitting area, as well as a bath with dual vanities and a giant walk-in closet. The laundry room is convenient to the second floor as well. Amenities include hardwood flooring throughout the first floor, a private patio surrounded by walls of greenery, first-floor powder and storage rooms, and custom millwork. Sited on a premium corner lot in the middle of one of the finest neighborhoods in Manhattan Beach, walk to American Martyrs, Pacific school, and downtown. With stunning curb appeal and an exceptional locale, this beautiful home is not to be missed!"

Sand Section
433 27th Street (4br/3ba, 1990 sqft.) packs quite a bit into a 3-story home of almost 2000 sqft., including 4br and and an ocean peek. (The listing cites "breathtaking ocean vistas.")
The home was on the market in 2021 with some of the current updates, but there's been a lot more attention to lightening, brightening and modernizing the home so that it is more of one cohesive, beach-modern vibe.

East Manhattan Beach
460 Chabela Drive (3br/2ba, 1564 sqft.) is a corner-lot remodel with a sense of style, along the corner with Keats.

Hill Section
865 10th Street (5br/3ba, 3080 sqft.) is a remodel-in-progress that also could be just a land sale – which the current listing helpfully suggests could be paired withe the neighboring lot (869 10th, currently on the market for much less: $2.949M).
Photos in the current listing are obviously just renderings of the anticipated remodel of the current home, which is "down to the studs."
This property was purchased in Aug. '23 for $3.225M.

"Incredible prime Manhattan Beach Hill Section opportunity to build your dream home! This home has been taken down to the studs and is ready for you to build - save a year of planning and permitting!
