Medium-density neighborhood with character
Directly east of downtown Santa Monica and blocks from the city's world-famous pier and promenade, Pico is a medium-density neighborhood with character. "This area is great for commuting to West Los Angeles," says Dario Svidler, Partner CRE's executive vice president with almost $1 billion in career sales. "Pico Boulevard has a bunch of old-school businesses and a lot of restaurants, and that's a draw to buyers." Pico sits adjacent to Santa Monica College, which makes its inventory of multifamily units attractive to students renting in the area. However, it's a commuter college, so the neighborhood doesn't necessarily have a college vibe.

Diversity of housing
Pico has a mix of single-family homes, condos and townhouses, and multifamily units. The single-family housing inventory consists mainly of classic California bungalows — cozy homes with between 900 and 1,700 square feet. “The homes here are smaller, so they’re a little bit more affordable to get into,” Svidler says. “North of the 10 will be more expensive than south of the 10.” The neighborhood’s streets are quiet and spacious, lined by sidewalks under a thick canopy of shade trees. “This is higher density housing than Sunset Park, but not too high density. You’re talking duplexes and quadplexes up to 10 or 20 units.” Single-family homes in Pico are priced between $1.2 million and $2.5 million. Depending on proximity to the coast, condos and townhomes list between $600,000 and $1.6 million. Multifamily units are priced between $1.3 million and $5 million.
Large multi-story houses are an architectural beauty in parts of the Pico neighborhood.

Shopping and Dining on Pico Boulevard
Shopping and dining in Pico occur along Pico Boulevard, a dense commercial stretch that runs the length of the neighborhood. There is a Whole Foods Market at the intersection of Cloverfield Boulevard for stocking up on groceries and essentials. Some of the businesses cater to students at Santa Monica College, which is just across Pico Boulevard. Lo/Cal Coffee & Market is a high-end coffee house popular with the student set. It’s the kind of place where baristas get to know the customers, who swear by the sandwiches and empanadas. Lunetta All Day is a New American restaurant that attracts a more sophisticated crowd. Brunch is big at this relaxed, upmarket venue, which has a wide range of seating options, including an outdoor patio lined with greenery that looks like a cafe in a quaint Parisian alleyway. The atmosphere changes at Lunetta At Night.

Events at the Bergamot Station Arts Center
The neighborhood is home to Bergamot Station Arts Center, the largest art gallery and cultural complex on the West Coast since 1994. Once a railroad station from 1875 to 1953, the city of Santa Monica eventually asked gallery owner Wayne Blank to reimagine the space. He created a venue that has become a community cornerstone, making art more accessible to visitors. On a given night, there are art exhibits, live comedy or music, poetry readings and performance art — in addition to the many educational programs offered. The venue’s on-site restaurant is Le Great Outdoor, which serves a farm-fresh, grill-centered menu.

Schools have big appeal to buyers
Santa Monica-Malibu Unified is one of the best school districts in greater Los Angeles, with an A-plus grade from Niche. The school district and teachers are in the top 5% of all California schools, according to Niche. "The schools have a big appeal to buyers in this area," says Compass agent Nitzan Lumer, a third-generation Angeleno who lived in neighboring Ocean Park for a decade. Graded A by Niche, Edison Language Academy is a dual immersion school in Spanish that works towards fluency starting in preschool, which continues in the district through high school. John Adams Middle School is another A school. Santa Monica High School is graded A-plus by Niche, which ranks it in the state's top 5% of public high schools.

Just 2 miles from the beach
One of the big draws to Pico is convenient beach access. The community is a breezy 2 miles from Santa Monica State Beach and the city’s iconic pier and promenade. Much like the rest of Santa Monica, Pico is dotted with public parks and cultivated green space. Ishihara Park is dog-friendly, with exercise equipment and covered patio seating with grills and benches. There is plenty of grassy open space at Virginia Avenue Park, which is situated on 10 acres along Pico Boulevard. The park has a community center and a seasonal splash pad. Kids can keep busy at the two playgrounds or shooting hoops at the basketball courts. There is a farmers market at the park on Saturday mornings.

Direct highway access and some noise
Pico is bisected by Interstate 10, which provides direct access to downtown Los Angeles about 15 miles east. The highway sits at a lower elevation than much of the neighborhood and is walled off along residential areas to minimize traffic noise — but it still exists. The Santa Monica Pier is about 2 miles away via Pico Boulevard, one of the area’s main thoroughfares that is lined by bus stops. "Pico Boulevard is a fast street that I would not consider particularly walkable," Svidler says. The Santa Monica Airport is nearby but only serves a handful of private planes, so noise isn’t an issue. Residents must drive the 10 miles south to Los Angeles International Airport, which can take about an hour, depending on traffic. UCLA Santa Monica Medical Center is about a mile away via 17th Street.
