The very epitome of luxury coastal living in Southern California is The Strand in Manhattan Beach and Hermosa Beach.   These homes have seen values increase dramatically over the last 18 months with homes priced and selling for over $10,000,000 being fairly common.  With the number of homes on the Manhattan Beach Strand actually decreasing in the past 10 years with lots being combined and multi unit buildings being replaced with larger single family homes, the values look to continue to rise in the future.  Currently there are 5 beachfront homes for sale on The Strand with the homes at 1140 and 2216 The Strand for sale in Manhattan Beach, and 136, 3001 and 2666 The Strand in Hermosa Beach.
