Given its prime coastal location, beautiful beaches, comfortable weather cooled by ocean breezes, good schools, and overall high quality of life, it’s no wonder that Santa Monica is one of the most sought-after areas in Southern California. And it has the home prices and limited inventory to match. Sale prices for single family homes range from $1,200,000 all the way up to $20,000,000, and the average sale price tends to range from $3,000,000-6,000,000. Home sizes range from modest bungalows to large 10,000+sqft estates, in a multitude of architectural styles, including Spanish, craftsman, Mission, Tudor, Colonial, Mid-Century, and modern contemporary.
