Ocean Park Property Prices in Santa Monica 2026
Our Verdict
"Bougie"
With a median price of $12800/m², this district easily earns its BOUGIE rating without needing the stuffy gates of North of Montana. Our neighborhood analysis shows that while you are paying a massive premium for the proximity to the water, the investment outlook is solid because they simply aren't making more land this close to the Pacific. It is expensive and occasionally gritty near the boardwalk, but the lack of inventory keeps these House Prices from ever truly softening.
The Vibe:Ocean Park is the low-slung, surf-heavy alternative to the high-rise glitz of Downtown, anchored by the retail strip of Main Street and the stairs at 4th. You will spend twenty minutes finding street parking near Hotchkiss Park only to realize everyone else is already at the beach on an e-bike. It feels like a genuine community where the tech crowd and old-school locals coexist in overpriced bungalows.
The median property price in Ocean Park, Santa Monica is $12,800 per m², 7% below the Santa Monica city average of $13800/m². Based on 1 verified sale data points as of June 2026.

Locals Ask
Why are m² stats so high for such small lots?
In Ocean Park, you aren't paying for the yard; you're paying for the ability to walk to the surf in five minutes.
Is the investment outlook better for condos or houses?
Single-family bungalows hold value better here, though the entry-level House Prices usually start well above $2.5 million.
How is the commute from this part of Santa Monica?
Getting to the 10 freeway is a nightmare during rush hour via Lincoln, but the Expo Line at 4th/Colorado is a manageable bike ride away.
Are there many new developments in the works?
Zoning is tight, so most 'new' inventory is actually heavy renovations of 1920s cottages rather than ground-up builds.
Is it worth the BOUGIE price tag compared to Venice?
Yes, because you get the same beach access with significantly more functional city services and cleaner streets.
