125 Montana Ave

A low-rise residential condominium built in 1973, this four-story complex occupies a quiet Montana Avenue block one to two buildings back from Ocean Avenue in Santa Monica. The property is organized primarily as one-bedroom residences, many of which have been renovated over time and favor open living/dining plans, generous walk-in closets, and private outdoor spaces such as covered patios or balconies. Interiors commonly showcase wood or wide-plank flooring, fireplaces, in-unit laundry, and updated kitchens with stone counters and modern appliances. The building provides elevator access, gated garage parking (typically one reserved space per unit with occasional two-space listings), additional storage and bicycle storage, and controlled entry for security. Shared amenities include a compact fitness room, sauna, a recreational or common room, and on-site management/maintenance; HOA dues frequently cover earthquake insurance and some utilities. Landscaped courtyards and roof updates (noted in recent records) contribute to the maintained, community-oriented feel. Located steps from Palisades Park, the beach, and Montana Avenue’s restaurants and shops, the complex delivers a coastal, walkable lifestyle attractive to buyers seeking proximity to sand, dining, and neighborhood conveniences.
