When early settlers coined the term "Manifest Destiny," a city like Santa Monica, California, is likely what they had in mind. Santa Monica is where the famous Route 66 ends, and it's hard to think of a better destination point. This ocean-side city of 89,736 combines the laid-back beach demeanor of the South Bay with the pomp and circumstance of Hollywood, giving tourists and residents alike the best of all worlds.
Living in Santa Monica means sharing a home with the birthplace of beach volleyball, while also residing in a surfer and biker paradise. If sports aren't your thing, one can window shop in any of the city's three main shopping districts. For foodies and those who enjoy a night on the town, Santa Monica has a variety of wonderful restaurants and a hopping nightlife. It's also a stone's throw from Los Angeles, giving you access to that city's jobs and attractions. In short, Santa Monica has you covered.
As of today, Santa Monica's median rent price is $3,590 per month, which is down 8%, or $305, compared to last year.

With its beachfront location and vibrant atmosphere, Santa Monica attracts residents who appreciate the mix of outdoor activities and urban amenities. Many locals enjoy the accessible public transportation options and variety of dining choices, along with the lively farmers market. However, some renters point to affordability as a significant concern, noting that high prices can make finding suitable housing challenging. Additionally, the area can get quite crowded, especially during tourist season, which affects the overall sense of space and parking availability.
Based on Zumper's July 2026 data, one-bedroom apartments in Santa Monica average around $2,900/month and two-bedrooms approximately $4,480/month.
December offers the best opportunity for apartment hunting in Santa Monica, with lower prices and less competition from other renters. May typically sees the lowest rents of the year, while September commands the highest prices with roughly a 5.5% difference between peak and low seasons.
Pico generates the highest renter interest at 1.4 times the market average, while Mid-City and Wilshire-Montana are also popular choices. Downtown Santa Monica and Ocean Park appeal to social renters with high walk scores and abundant restaurants, while Northeast Santa Monica and Sunset Park cater well to pet owners.
Based on our current listings data, Sunset Park offers the most affordable option with median rents around $2,930/month, followed by Pico at approximately $3,090/month and Downtown Santa Monica at roughly $3,410/month.
Pet owners will find excellent options in Northeast Santa Monica, Pico, Mid-City, and Sunset Park, where apartments feature pet-safe windows, dedicated pet spaces, and outdoor areas. These neighborhoods also offer pet events, waste stations, and convenient access to veterinary care.
In our current listings, utilities-included rentals are extremely rare in Santa Monica, appearing in just 0.04% of all apartments. One-bedrooms and studios show the highest rates at 0.05% each, while larger units are even less likely to include utilities.
