Just 15 miles west of Los Angeles, Santa Monica is a beachfront city with an enviable climate and location. Santa Monica is conveniently located right in between the iconic Venice Beach and the glamourous white sand beaches of Malibu, drawing millions of visitors every year. With Santa Monica’s laidback vibe and plentiful amenities, it’s easy to see why renters are looking for apartments and condos in the area. Of course, the Santa Monica State Beach is the heart of the city, anchoring major attractions and local hotspots. The Annenberg Community Beach House is an historic mansion turned recreation center offering fitness classes, a pool, and more. The Famous Santa Monica Pier houses an amusement park, an aquarium, an arcade, eateries, and much more. Right next to the pier is the original Muscle Beach, a gymnastics and fitness site created in 1934. Nearby Third Street Promenade provides a range of shops, restaurants, and street performances in a pedestrian-only outdoor plaza.
The wonders of Santa Monica don’t stop at the beach either. Tongva Park is great for children and adults with impressive modern architectural features, a playground, and a splash pad. Aero Theatre screens classic films, the Santa Monica Museum of Art inspires curiosity, and Harvelle’s showcases live music. The Marvin Braude Bike Trail is over 20 miles long, stretching the Pacific Ocean shoreline from Pacific Palisades to Torrance. The Santa Monica Mountains have hiking trails perfect for a quiet reprieve from the bustle of city life. Convenient to I-10, I-405, the Pacific Coast Highway, and LAX, getting around from Santa Monica is simple.
