Santa Monica CA Real Estate

If you are seeking to purchase real estate in one of the best-known beach communities in the country, which boasts around 300 days of sunshine a year, Santa Monica, California may be the perfect city for you. Not only is Santa Monica known for its subtropical climate, but it also boasts a renowned school system, world class shopping and restaurants, and state-of-the-art medical and emergency services.

Santa Monica is situated at the heart of the Greater Los Angeles area: 13 miles from downtown Los Angeles, 8 miles from LAX airport, and just 45 miles from Disneyland! A lot is packed into this city that is just a little over 8 square miles: choose from numerous S anta Monica street fairs, arts and crafts shows, and farmer's markets, dine at one of Santa Monica's 400 restaurants, or catch a movie in one of the city's multiple theaters.

Known for its healthy lifestyle, Santa Monica is one of the most pedestrian-friendly areas in Los Angeles. A car is unnecessary here, and you can walk to just about everything you need, though a widely respected transportation system is also one of the city's draws. Santa Monica is also known for being one of the most sustainable cities in the country. All public buildings use renewable energy, and most of the city's public works vehicles run on alternative fuel. This is a remarkable feat in a city as car-crazy as Los Angeles.

The Santa Monica Pier is famous for its carnival-like atmosphere, and contains an arcade, amusement rides, restaurants, and even an aquarium! The Third Street Promenade features street performers, as well as many unique shops and restaurants. Downtown Santa Monica is home to many bars, eateries and theaters featuring live performances. 22 miles of a beach bike path is another wonderful asset to life in this gorgeous city.

Santa Monica has a wide variety of real estate to offer: modern townhouses, post-war bungalows, condominiums and luxury gated homes with lush landscaping can all be found here. Many homes feature Spanish-style architecture and offer spectacular views. If you prefer more of an urban feeling, explore some of the homes closer to downtown, which are just a short stroll away from all of the entertainment, shopping and recreation Santa Monica has to offer.
