A quaint neighborhood that brims with charm and old-world character, Manhattan Beach is one of Brooklyn's the majority of unforeseen communities. It's its own entity-- a serene, closed-in area that's distinctly extremely 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 splendid beachfront homes, it boasts a carefree as well as resort-like vibe.
