Santa Monica, California Zip Codes 90402, 90403
Best air quality and self-contained little city-within-a-city in Southern California. Buy a home in Santa Monica for its inspirational sunshine, deep beaches, meandering coastal bike-paths, highly-rated schools, local City services, renowned hospitals, movie complexes, convenience, shopping, and a wide range of restaurants to choose from, to suit every taste and pocket book.
Santa Monica 90402 and 90403 are the two most desirable Zips in Santa Monica, in fact, 90402 continues to be included in the top 10 most desirable in the country, due in part to the high scholastic ratings of Franklin and Roosevelt Elementary Schools, and Lincoln Middle School.
90402 is predominently large, single family homes in an area north of Montana Avenue (renowned for its chic stores and restaurants). The two main architectural styles are Mediterranean and Cape Cod. The lot sizes are approx. 60 X150. There is a pocket of this neighborhood that is called Gillettes Regent Square. The lots are slightly larger and have no alleys behind. The quiet, tree-lined streets are reminiscent of elegant East Coast neighborhoods in the quality and complimentary landscaping of the homes.
Santa Monica 90403 has a large condo population, but is beginning to step into the lime-light for its high value re-sale for single family residences. 90403 is the area north of Wilshire and west of Centinela. A boon to value, parts of 90403 are adjacent to the 3rd Street Promenade, teeming with shops and restaurants, a Farmer's Market (Weds. And Sats.) which attracts chefs from all over Los Angeles.
Homes in 90402 sell in the range of $2.2Mil (tear-down) to $12Mil (Riviera Country Club - Golf Course views).
Condominiums in 90403 range from about $400K (1 bedroom) to $8Mil (Ocean Avenue).
In my opinion, Santa Monica is the quintessential city in Southern California for an up-beat, beach city life-style, excellent City services, convenient to the entire West Side and Downtown. LAX is only 5 miles south.
