Pico, located between Ocean Park Boulevard and the I-10 Freeway, is a residential and commercial Santa Monica neighborhood with a low-slung bungalow streetscape and a working-corridor energy. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around Pico Boulevard at 20th Street, where taquerias, corner markets, and small studios keep the sidewalks in motion. Community pillars include Santa Monica Brew Works, the Santa Monica History Museum, and the Santa Monica Swim Center. Side streets mix Spanish Revival cottages with mid-century apartments, while Pico Boulevard reads as a practical, local-serving main drag. Clover Park and the airport edge add open sky and recreation to the grid. The Expo Line’s 17th Street/SMC Station frames a transit-oriented feel at the north end.
