Tucked away from the bustle yet close to the beach, The Strand, and downtown, it offers a rare balance of privacy and convenience.

The Neighborhood:

Neighborhood

Crest Drive is a peaceful North Manhattan Beach hillside location just above The Strand. The surrounding area is highly walkable, with the beach only eight homes away and neighborhood cafés, shops, Sand Dune Park, and coastal paths all within a short stroll.



Nearby highlights include:

• Beach and The Strand just steps away

• One block to North End cafés, dining, shops, and Sand Dune Park

• Short distance to Manhattan Beach Pier, downtown boutiques, and the Roundhouse Aquarium

• 1.6 miles to Manhattan Village Shopping Center

• 2.6 miles to Polliwog Park

• 2.8 miles to Hermosa Beach Pier

• 4.8 miles to Los Angeles International Airport



Getting Around:

Manhattan Beach is naturally walkable, and many guests enjoy exploring the area on foot or by bike. The beach, local cafés, and nearby restaurants are all within easy reach, making it simple to settle into the neighborhood.

For exploring beyond the immediate area, rideshare services are readily available and provide convenient access throughout the South Bay and greater Los Angeles.

During the FIFA World Cup 2026, rideshare is often the most seamless way to travel to and from SoFi Stadium, allowing you to enjoy match days without the added stress of parking.



Game Day Tip:

We recommend scheduling your rideshare in advance and allowing extra time before kickoff, as traffic and demand can increase around stadium events. Returning to Manhattan Beach after the match offers a more relaxed and private setting compared to staying near the stadium.
