How walkable is Santa Monica?
Within about a 1 km walk of the centre of Santa Monica there are 361 everyday amenities mapped in OpenStreetMap — 71 places to eat and drink, 7 grocery options, 70 transit stops and 8 parks or recreation spots. That is very high amenity density — 4th highest of the 14 Los Angeles neighborhoods we measure.
We don't publish a walkability rating for Santa Monica — we license no third-party score, and we would rather leave the number out than invent one. What follows is what we do have: the condo buildings we profile here mapped in place, and the dining, parks and lifestyle spots that shape daily life in Los Angeles.

Method: we count mapped points of interest from OpenStreetMap inside a box of roughly 1000 m around the neighborhood centre, grouped into the categories above. It is a count of what is mapped, not a score, and not a licensed walkability rating — density is described as low (under 100), moderate (100–199), high (200–349) or very high (350+) purely to summarise the number shown beside it. OpenStreetMap coverage varies by area, so treat this as a comparison between neighborhoods rather than an exhaustive census. Data collected August 2026. Data © OpenStreetMap contributors, ODbL.
