Geography & Population
Santa Monica is considered a part of Greater Los Angeles,
but in fact it is an incorporated city founded in 1875.
One of the most famous beach cities in the world, Santa
Monica is located on the coast of West Los Angeles, south
of Pacific Palisades, and just north of Venice Beach.
Santa Monica is served by the 90401 – 90405 ZIP codes.
The community is bounded by 26th Street (the dividing
line between Brentwood and Santa Monica) on the east.
Most of West Los Angeles’ main east-west arteries
– including Wilshire, Santa Monica, Olympic and Pico
Boulevards -- end at the Santa Monica Coast.
The population of Santa Monica is just over 84,000;
and apartments/condominiums outnumber single-family homes
by a 4-to-1 ratio. Most Apartments and Condominiums are
found along the coast, and south of Montana Avenue Boulevard.
North of Montana, single-family residences are the majority.
Santa Monica’s population is a primarily young
(or young-at-heart), and reflects the community’s
melange of activities -- outdoor recreation, dining and
nightlife, numerous retail areas and business centers
are all found within Santa Monica. The 3rd Street Promenade,
located near the coast between Wilshire Boulevard and
Broadway, is a well-known outdoor meeting place. The wide
street is pedestrian-only, and is lined with numerous
stores, restaurants and movie theatres. Street performers
and exhibitions add to the ambiance, and a twice-weekly
Farmer’s Market is a popular feature.
