Santa Monica Canyon

The neighborhood known as Santa Monica Canyon more closely resembles the woodsy area of Topanga Canyon than urban Santa Monica. A small enclave situated among winding streets that look out over Pacific Coast Highway and the ocean, Santa Monica Canyon is home to a variety of housing styles and prices.

 

Real estate in Santa Monica Canyon ranges from modest 1,000 square foot bungalows to large estates on lots sitting high atop green hills. This architecturally diverse community includes gems from the 1930’s to modern mansions. A few retail pockets nestled in the area offer restaurants, home décor shops, and other small businesses.

 

Santa Monica Canyon families send their children to the highly regarded Canyon Charter Elementary School, which is one of the most desirable schools in the Los Angeles Unified School District.
