A quaint neighborhood that brims with beauty and old-world character, Manhattan Beach is one of Brooklyn's the majority of unexpected areas. It's its own entity-- a serene, closed-in area 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 mostly remote from the rest of the city. And owing to its stunning beachfront homes, it boasts a carefree and even resort-like ambiance.
