Manhattan & Brighton Beaches
Manhattan Beach is a residential neighborhood in Brooklyn. It
is known for being one of the wealthiest neighborhoods in Brooklyn,
with some of the borough's most expensive real estate. It 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.
Brighton Beach was developed by William A. Engeman as a beach
resort in 1868. The centerpiece of the resort was the large Hotel
Brighton, placed on the beach at what is now the foot of Coney
Island Avenue. Brighton Beach was re-developed as a fairly dense
residential community in 1920.
