Santa Monica

From humble beginnings, Santa Monica has turned into one of the Westside's most desirable addresses. Cooled by ocean breezes even on the Southland's most blistering summer days, Santa Monica's neat grid of streets gives way to winding canyons and precipitous coastal bluffs.

An incorporated city, Santa Monica has its own municipal services and schools and notable shopping along the Third Street Promenade, Main Street, and Montana Avenue.

Its streets are lined with stately trees, including some of the tallest palms in the region, and renovations inspired by increasing property values have introduced an impressive variety of architectural styles to the city's enormous appeal.
