Manhattan Beach, Brooklyn
Encyclopedia : M : MA : MAN : Manhattan Beach, Brooklyn
Manhattan Beach is a beach on the Atlantic Ocean situated on the eastern end of Coney Island in the New York City borough of Brooklyn. It was developed in the last quarter of the 19th century as a resort by Austin Corbin, later president of the Long Island Rail Road.
Manhattan Beach is also a residential neighborhood in the same location. It is bounded by the ocean to the south and east, by Sheepshead Bay on the north, and Brighton Beach to the west. Traditionally known as an Ashkenazic Jewish neighborhood, it is also home to a sizable community of Sephardi Jews and a large Russian presence. It is known for being one of the wealthiest neighborhoods in Brooklyn, with some of the borough's most expensive real estate. Houses in Mahnhattan Beach often cost in the millions.
Education
Manhattan Beach, like all of New York City, is served by the New York City Department of Education. Manhattan Beach is zoned to PS 195 Manhattan Beach School for grades K-5 and PS 225 The Eileen E. Zaglin School for grades 6-8 (Zaglin takes students from K-8 but Manhattan Beach is zoned to a different school for K-5). Manhattan Beach is not zoned to any high schools, as all New York City high school students are required to apply to their high schools of choice.
