Located minutes from the beach, Santa Monica is a wonderful Los Angeles neighborhood.
The tree lined streets North of Montana offer beautiful Spanish homes, along with traditionals and newer modern homes. The Santa Monica and Rustic canyons are a bit more secluded, private and closer to nature. Some homes in the canyons are on bigger lots and feature streams and creeks. Sunset and Ocean Park are very family friendly neighborhoods with homes that start at a lower price point.
The Santa Monica lifestyle is an outdoor one. Many people walk, run and ride bikes on the beach walk or on San Vicente Blvd. Bikes can even be rented on the beach.
As it is closer to the beach, Santa Monica tends to have a little bit cooler climate.
Montana Avenue and Third Street Promenade have great shopping, restaurants and bars. Montana Avenue has special events like music and walk nights.
Celebrities are known to work out at the stairs off Adelaide Street North of Montana,
