Regent Square, located between Montana Avenue and Wilshire Boulevard, is a residential and walkable Santa Monica neighborhood with tree-lined blocks and a low-rise streetscape. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around Montana Avenue near 7th Street, where sidewalk patios, independent boutiques, and coffee counters set a steady daytime rhythm. Architectural cues lean toward Spanish Revival and mid-century apartments, with tidy courtyards and small gardens. Palisades Park and the bluff-top path frame the westward edge with ocean air and long views. The Montana Avenue retail strip keeps daily errands on foot, while nearby cultural stops add a polished, local cadence.
