Visitors to Santa Monica often dream of becoming residents.   With its mild climate and the on-shore breezes, city services, gorgeous beaches, bike path, wide variety of restaurants, and excellent shopping, the city of Santa Monica is the heart of Los Angeles’ West Side. http://www.santamonica.com

Santa Monica Beach from the Pier

Just 20 minutes to LAX or Downtown LA, Santa Monica spans 8.3 miles and has a population of approximately 95,000.  It has its own Municipal Court, Airport, Department of Building and Safety, and shares a school district with Malibu, California (Santa Monica – Malibu Unified School District).

Santa Monica is home to two major Hospitals.

Home to some of the country’s most famous artists and architectural firms, the fine art-to- contemporary art galleries, and stunning residential and commercial buildings compliment the city to the delight of all.  In both the commercial and residential sense, Santa Monica has become a magnet to the film industry, mogul and talent alike.

 

 

Recreational opportunities abound from biking and roller-blading at the beach, to strolling the Third Street Promenade, Palisades Bluff Parks and the Santa Monica Pier (home to an historic Carousel).

Ocean Avenue is home to approx. 2 miles of ocean view public parks where on any day one can participate in a Yoga or Tai Chi class or a game of Chess.   Weekends find these parks full of family picnickers, romantics and power-walkers.     

The three most amusing and convenient commercial areas are: The Third Street Mall has upscale stores, Wednesday and Saturday open air Farmer’s Market, and live street performers day and night; Main Street in Ocean Park (just a stroll from the beach), and chic Montana Ave with its glamorous and expensive boutiques and restaurants.
