Manhattan Beach, Brooklyn
Manhattan Beach is a residential neighborhood in the New York City borough of Brooklyn. It is bounded by the Atlantic Ocean to the south and east, by Sheepshead Bay on the north, and Brighton Beach to the west. Traditionally known as an Ashkenazi Jewish neighborhood, it is also home to a sizable community of Sephardi Jews and a large Russian Jewish 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 Manhattan Beach often cost in the millions.
Manhattan Beach is also a beach by the same name on the Atlantic Ocean situated on the eastern end of Coney Island. 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.[1]
Education
Kingsborough Community College, which is the part of the City University of New York, occupies the entire eastern tip of the Manhattan Beach. The college's halls and departments are spread out through the area.
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.
Private schools in the area include the Yeshiva of Manhattan Beach, a Jewish day school for grades K-8.
