A quaint neighborhood that brims with charm and old-world character, Manhattan Beach is among Brooklyn's many unexpected neighborhoods. It's its own entity-- a serene, closed-in location that's distinctly very non-Brooklyn. Bounded by Sheepshead Bay to the north, the Atlantic Ocean to the south and the east, and Brighton Beach to the west, Manhattan Beach is largely remote from the remainder of the city. And owing to its stunning beachfront homes, it boasts a carefree as well as resort-like vibe.
