Santa Monica

The coastal city of Santa Monica is a living postcard.

Welcome to Santa Monica


The coastal city of Santa Monica is a living postcard.
 
Santa Monica, CA is filled with beautiful people, populated beaches, upscale shopping, and lots of fine dining. Its bustling pier, complete with iconic Ferris wheel and amusement park attractions, paired with clean streets, great weather, outdoor malls, and accessible oceanfront make it a destination known throughout the world.
 
This seaside city is named after Saint Monica, the mother of Saint Augustine, but the reason why remains undetermined. One telling says it was named by explorer Gaspar de Portolà, who camped there in 1769 and named it in honor of the feast day of Saint Monica. Another credits Father Juan Crespi, who claimed a pair of creeks known as the Kuruvunga Springs (technically located outside of Santa Monica’s border), were like the tears of Saint Monica, who, prior to her son’s conversion, wept nightly over his impiety.

What to Expect


Sunsets on the boardwalk, outdoor dining, and weekend mornings at the beach.
 
Popularized on the big screen, Santa Monica represents Southern California living around the world and the reality does not disappoint. Moving to Santa Monica features oceanside activities, stunning panoramas, and candy-hued buildings abound in this dreamy beach neighborhood.
 

The Lifestyle


Vibrant, cultured, and low-key luxe.
 
Occupying a pristine stretch of the Pacific, Santa Monica emanates a casual coolness. The boardwalk welcomes joggers, bikers, and bladers, with much of local life revolving around the water. Yogis flock, attracted by some of the city’s best and most plentiful studios.
 

Unexpected Appeal


World-renowned designers and endless retail.
 
Despite Santa Monica’s laid-back vibe, it takes its shopping seriously. Between the contemporary chains lining the Third Street Promenade and an upscale, open-air mall that houses Barney’s, Tiffany & Co., and Louis Vuitton, there is no shortage of options.
 

The Market


Expansive single-family homes and contemporary apartment complexes.
 
Santa Monica presents a diverse range of housing styles and homes for sale, all centrally located and boasting spectacular ocean access. Santa Monica's real estate consists of single-family homes along quaint, tree-lined streets, modern beachfront houses near the bustling boardwalk, and amenity-rich apartment buildings.
 

You'll Fall in Love With


Sunshine, ocean breezes, and idyllic views as far as the eye can see.
 
Los Angeles is generally known for its mild climate, but Santa Monica may well be the jewel in the city’s meteorological crown. It averages 310 days of sunshine per year, with cerulean skies and a pleasant, near-constant ocean breeze. Daytime temperatures are typically in the low 70s and rarely rise above 83 degrees.

The Charity Organizations I personally support:

VENICE FAMILY CLINIC

Venice Family Clinic provides quality primary health care to people in need through 12 locations on the Westside of Los Angeles.

History

Venice Family Clinic was founded in 1970 by Philip Rossman, MD and Mayer B. Davidson, MD. Back then, volunteer physicians provided basic medical care in a borrowed storefront dental office after normal business hours. Today, Venice Family Clinic is a leading community health center that serves patients from across Los Angeles.

On November 1, Venice Family Clinic merged with South Bay Family Health Care, a community health center founded in 1969 and operating 5 clinics. Venice Family Clinic has now expanded to a network of 17 locations, plus 2 mobile clinics and an extensive street medicine program. A team of more than 500 staff and 1400 volunteers delivers care to 45,000 people with compassion, dignity and respect. Our service area spans from the Santa Monica Mountains through the South Bay.
