Rental Property Management in Sunset Park: What Owners Should Know

Sunset Park is in the southeast part of Santa Monica, generally south of Pico Boulevard and east of Lincoln Boulevard, bordering Venice and Mar Vista. Santa Monica Airport, Clover Park and the Ocean Park Boulevard corridor are all nearby, and Santa Monica College is just to the north. The neighborhood is quieter and more residential than downtown Santa Monica but still close to the beach and to Westside job centers.

Most of Sunset Park is single-family homes from the 1920s through the 1950s, with duplexes, fourplexes and small apartment buildings on the busier streets and at the neighborhood’s edges. Many homes have been remodeled, and some have added ADUs. Renters are often families, faculty and staff from nearby colleges, and professionals working in Santa Monica, Playa Vista and Culver City.

Santa Monica has its own rent control system, administered by the city’s Rent Control Board, which applies to many older multifamily buildings and has its own registration, fee and rent-increase rules. Those are different from the City of Los Angeles rules a few blocks away in Mar Vista. Owners need careful record keeping, clear notices and a manager who keeps track of these requirements, along with regular maintenance for older homes.
