    "Lived laughed love it out here in Santa Monica. It is the perfect place to raise a family, have a start up, and really do some outdoor aerobic exercises. Oh and train for a marathon- because you have the neighborhood run club going out with you! "

    "There are a few homeless encampments filled with stolen property and bicycles so keep your things secured. Lots of places to shop and eat and frequent. Good option if you can’t afford Santa Monica."

    "Sunset Park is similar to Ocean Park, but with even less crime due to being farther away from Venice and Lincoln Blvd. There are many great neighborhoods to walk in and enjoy, and it seems like one of the more family-friendly areas in Santa Monica. Great views too!"

    "Have lived in the Sunset Park area for forty years+ It is one of the best neighborhoods in West LA. Mostly residential area, with lots of young families and great schools. Close to, but insulated from, the Beaches and congested business centers, etc. Many shops/ services are close. Try it, you'll like it. "
