Renter Tips for Ocean Park, Santa Monica

Proximity to the beach and Main Street commands a premium here similar to the rest of Santa Monica, but Ocean Park generally runs a notch below Downtown Santa Monica or North of Montana for comparable square footage. Streets closer to Main Street and the beach are busier and pricier; the blocks nearer Santa Monica College and the Venice border are quieter and more affordable. Santa Monica's citywide rent control ordinance applies to many older buildings here, so ask directly about a unit's status.
