Planning notes for Santa Monica
Sunset Park is a residential neighborhood in the southern portion of Santa Monica, bounded by Pico Boulevard to the north and the city limits to the south. Historically, the area underwent significant development during the 1940s to provide housing for the approximately 40,000 workers at the nearby Douglas Aircraft Company. This period established the neighborhood’s initial layout.
