Santa Monica Homes for Sale Over $2 Million


Santa Monica packs a beach town, a busy downtown and residential street grids into about eight square miles, and listings above $2 million show up in nearly every part of it.

Neighborhoods to Compare

North of Montana has some of the largest lots in the city, close to the stairs at Fourth Street and Adelaide Drive. Sunset Park, in the southeast part of the city, offers more single-family streets near the airport park. Ocean Park sits near Main Street and the beach, with a mix of homes and condos. Wilshire Montana and Mid-City add homes and townhomes between the boulevards, and some ocean-view condos near Palisades Park also reach this range.

What $2 Million and Up Buys Here

Near the low end you may see a smaller older home, a townhome or a large condo. Higher up, North of Montana and Sunset Park offer bigger lots, pools and newer construction. Lot sizes vary block by block, so a home two streets apart can have very different room to expand. Ask about parking, since many older homes have small garages or alley access. Proximity to Montana Avenue, Main Street or the Expo Line stations also tends to affect pricing.

Taxes, Rentals and HOA

Santa Monica applies a higher city transfer tax to sales above a set price under Measure GS, so ask escrow for the current figures. If a property includes rental units, ask how city rent control rules apply. Condos and townhomes come with HOA dues and reserves to review. Verify each item before you write an offer.

Financing Basics

This range usually calls for a jumbo loan or cash. Lenders look at reserves and debt closely at this size. This is general information only, so talk with a licensed lender.
