Santa Monica

Santa Monica has been synonymous with California beaches for decades.  Progress and a resurgence of the area have turned it into one of the desirable locales for real estate investment in less than fifty years.  Known for some of the most temperate weather in southern California, Santa Monica enjoys 320 days of sun, yet the cool ocean breezes turn back the high desert temperatures that often visit the Los Angeles area.

With an eclectic choice of geographical types ranging from beachfront to winding canyons, Santa Monica has something for most everyone.  Known for its easily negotiated grid of streets, it makes finding locations incredibly simple.  As an incorporated city, Santa Monica also enjoys its own municipal services and schools.

As for attractions, the pedestrian-only shopping along the Third Street Promenade will provide you with many hours of enjoyment.  Unique shops along Main Street and Montana Avenue will beguile you.  The Santa Monica Pier has been world renowned for almost a century.  Easily identifiable by the Ferris Wheel, the Pier is a family favorite, especially during the summer.  The beaches appeal to both swimmers and surfers from around the world.  A world class public transportation system will make it easy for you to experience all of these delights with a minimum of stress.  With streets lined with tall, elegant palm trees, this is consummate California living.

Whether you are looking for an investment or a family home, the variety of architecture and neighborhoods will provide a perfect fit.  From low-rise condo buildings just blocks from the beach to high-rise ocean-view condos on Ocean Avenue, Santa Monica has it all.  When you’re looking for that perfect new home, Santa Monica is where you will find it.
