Just Sold in Manhattan Beach: 440 24th Street #1

When one chapter ends, another begins—especially by the beach.


Here’s the Story...

We were working with a motivated buyer who had his heart set on finding the right home in Manhattan Beach’s coveted Gaslamp District. He was drawn to the coastal charm, walkability, and quiet neighborhood feel—and ready to make a move when the right opportunity presented itself.

Meanwhile, a family who had tragically lost their home in the Pacific Palisades fires was searching for a safe and stable new beginning. It was a perfect match as the home was leased to the family after closing—helping them find a fresh start right here in the South Bay.


We Got to Work

As soon as we heard 440 24th Street #1 was coming on the market, we jumped into action. The west-facing townhome offered beautiful natural light, an ideal layout, and turnkey finishes—just a few blocks from the beach and Downtown. It was everything our buyer was looking for, and we knew we had to act fast.


A Competitive Market

With multiple offers on the table and beach-close inventory still tight, it took more than just a good offer to secure the deal. We leaned into our local relationships, led with smart strategy and strong communication, and worked closely with the listing agent to position our client as the ideal buyer.

A Meaningful Win

Thanks to smart negotiation and a clear, compelling offer, our client stood out—and got the win. Even better? The home is now being rented to the Palisades family, giving them a beautiful place to land while they rebuild their lives.

Why the Gaslamp District?

Tucked between the Sand Section and Tree Section, the Gaslamp District is one of Manhattan Beach’s most charming and sought-after neighborhoods. Locals love the quiet walk streets, ocean breezes, and unbeatable location—just a short stroll to top schools, shops, restaurants, and the beach. It’s the kind of place where neighbors wave hello, surfboards lean by the door, and families put down roots.


The Market is Active

Manhattan Beach continues to draw buyers looking for lifestyle, location, and long-term value. If you’re curious what your home might be worth—or just want to stay connected to what’s happening in the neighborhood—we’re here to help.
