A charming community just northeast of downtown

Affordable Convenient Commuter Charming Historic

The Northeast section of Santa Monica grants residents easy access to the beach and all the amenities of Downtown Santa Monica from a peaceful enclave. Northeast Santa Monica runs north of Wilshire Boulevard and borders Brentwood, where many Northeast locals frequent the upscale shops and restaurants along San Vicente Boulevard.

The family-friendly neighborhood features lovely Spanish mission-style homes dating back to the 1930s as well as ample apartments, and those living on Mount Olivet even get an ocean view from their rentals. Santa Monica Beach and its fun-loving pier and spectacular Ferris wheel sit about a mile away from the community. The Third Street Promenade serves as a gathering point for all of Santa Monica's residents, who flock there to enjoy world-class retailers, diverse restaurants, incredible street performers, and the iconic dinosaur-themed fountains.
