Northeast Santa Monica offers calm close to the action
Northeast Santa Monica, a quiet pocket of the iconic coastal city, has steadily grown into its own distinct identity, setting it apart from the beach-centric bustle commonly associated with the city. Here, the tranquility of tree-lined streets paints a calm, suburban tableau that stands in contrast to the city's more effervescent coastal neighborhoods. “If you want a quiet home life without giving up all the fun and entertainment of coastal LA, this is really an ideal neighborhood,” says Matt Tilley of First Team Real Estate. “You’ve got lovely houses, gorgeous shady streets, great schools. At the same time, the beach is just a few miles away, you’re right next to Brentwood, and the Santa Monica Mountains are just down the road — it’s a kind of perfect storm of upsides.” Northeast provides an escape from the kinetic energy of beachside Santa Monica while staying deeply connected to the cultural and community fabric of the city.
Northeast is a desirable Santa Monica neighborhood with homes from $1.8M to $12M.
Northeast’s location near the beach offers stunning sunsets and coastal breezes.

Northeast boasts an array of eateries that reflect the city’s diverse palate, from gourmet organic eateries like Blu Jam Cafe to European-style bake shop Vienna Pastry to cozy sushi spot Takuma. Residents looking for a bit of nightlife don’t have to go all the way to the pier; there are a fair number of pubs in the area, including the neighborhood’s own Wild West-themed Thunderbird bar.
