One of the most popular beach communities in Southern California, home to the historic Pier, the Third Street Promenade and an electric downtown atmosphere.
Santa Monica is one of the most popular beach communities in Southern California, millions of tourists arrive each year for the beaches, the Santa Monica Pier, the lively downtown, and the shopping, dining and electric atmosphere that define the city.
The historic Santa Monica Pier, built in 1909, anchors the city with Pacific Park's Ferris wheel, the Looff Hippodrome and Carousel, shops, restaurants, an amusement park and arcade. Concerts and festivals thread through the calendar all year.
Downtown Santa Monica moves at its own pace, shoppers, diners, tourists and street performers give the streets their signature energy.
The Third Street Promenade, pedestrian-only, runs the range from farm-fresh produce to luxury brands, a rare open-air stretch where daily errands and international shopping share the same block.
Santa Monica real estate is deliberately diverse: historic and modern estates, single-family homes, condominiums and townhouses, a wide range of sizes and prices unusual for a beach city of this profile.
Beachfront addresses are the most coveted, running from architectural estates to high-rise condominiums. Condos are a significant part of the stock, giving buyers meaningful entry points at multiple price levels.
