Located at 2700 Neilson Way in Santa Monica, California, this 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom residence offers a bright and airy layout with a clean, modern aesthetic throughout. The open living room is a standout, featuring expansive floor-to-ceiling sliding glass windows and doors that frame sweeping views of the Santa Monica treetops and cityscape, while providing access to a private balcony. Light wood flooring runs throughout the living areas and bedrooms, lending warmth to the otherwise crisp, white interior. The galley-style kitchen is well-equipped with white shaker cabinetry, beige stone countertops, stainless steel appliances including a refrigerator and built-in microwave, and a double-basin sink — all set atop neutral tile flooring. Crown molding adds a refined touch to the kitchen's ceiling. The primary bedroom is generously sized and also features sliding glass doors opening to the balcony, filling the room with natural light and outdoor views. The second bedroom offers a quieter, comfortable space with the same light wood flooring. Each bedroom is served by its own dedicated closet. The two bathrooms are finished with warm tile flooring and white vanities. One features a glass-enclosed shower, while the other includes a full shower-tub combination. A connecting hallway ties the layout together efficiently.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
