3101 5th St

Ocean Park occupies Santa Monica’s southern edge, between the Pacific and the city’s busier central streets. The ocean brings a mild coastal climate, with marine air and cool evenings; the beach and the paved Marvin Braude Bike Trail offer room for walks, cycling and ocean views. Main Street is the neighborhood’s lively spine, lined with independent restaurants, cafés and shops, while nearby parks and the Santa Monica Pier add outdoor and entertainment options. The area’s early development as a beachside community still shows in its mix of older homes and newer buildings. Walking and biking are practical for local errands, and buses connect to other parts of Santa Monica and Los Angeles. For the Ocean Park neighborhood, the median rent is $3,390 per month, with a typical range of $1,895 to $17,000, based on 81 active listings.
