Santa Monica is the most walkable luxury market on the Westside — a city that has managed to combine urban density with coastal living in a way that few places anywhere have achieved. The combination of beach access, world-class dining, strong schools, and genuine walkability makes it consistently one of the most competitive residential markets in Los Angeles.
The residential neighborhoods north of Montana Avenue — the North of Montana pocket in particular — represent some of the most coveted real estate on the Westside. Tree-lined streets, architectural diversity, and proximity to everything define the character of this market.
The North of Montana area and properties closest to the beach command the strongest premiums.
