Listed by National Geographic as one of the Top "10 Beach Cities in the World", and as one of TIME magazine’s "Best Places to Live", the 8.3 square mile city of Santa Monica is a true gem. From the stunning, sandy beaches to shopping on 3rd Street Promenade to the rides and attractions on the eponymous pier, there is always something fun to do here.

The city is bordered by Pacific Palisades, Brentwood, West LA, Mar Vista, and Venice Beach, offering even more shopping, activities, and restaurants with beautiful views. Tech companies and startups have given Santa Monica the nickname “Silicon Beach”, and job opportunities are steady and climbing.

The city also reveres its history as the place where beach volleyball was invented by Duke Kahanamoku, who also brought surfing from Hawaii. Santa Monica will host both sports in the 2028 Summer Olympics.

If you’re looking for beach culture, fantastic schools, renowned restaurants, and celebrity sightings, Santa Monica is the perfect place to live.
