A charming neighborhood that brims with appeal and old-world character, Manhattan Beach is among Brooklyn's most unforeseen neighborhoods. It's its own entity-- a peaceful, closed-in location that's decidedly 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 splendid beachfront homes, it boasts a carefree and even resort-like ambiance.
