At a business related social event last week, I was speaking with a Mom of a 2 1/2-year-old. She found out that I live in Manhattan Beach and she immediately started quizzing me on the different neighborhoods, schools, community, etc. Why? She had been to Noah’s Bagels in downtown Manhattan Beach on a Saturday and could not believe the number of families and kids swarming around the downtown area. To a Mom of a very busy toddler this was playdate Heaven and she wants to move here!
She is not alone, Manhattan Beach is ranked 3rd in the State for K-12 schools based on the Star Testing. Forbes rated the Manhattan Beach #1 in its article The Best Schools for Your Real Estate Buck. The School District is strongly supported by the Manhattan Beach Ed Foundation. Also the Community, at large, is hugely supportive of the schools. Just this month our local TEDx-Manhattan Beach organization is holding a day of Transforming Learning on October 22, 2011 – featuring 20 speakers at the forefront of thought leadership in Education-Tickets on sale now!
If that is not enough, the City of Manhattan Beach Parks and Recreation Department offers an overwhelming number of classes for kids of all ages. The City holds great family community events. This month checkout The World Famous Pumpkin Race held each year at the Manhattan Beach Pier!
All this bundled with beautiful beaches, amazingly friendly people and incredible homes – for all family sizes!
