Flyer I couldn’t help but laugh at your description of Monet. Hey to each his own ya know? I don’t have strong feelings about the place… it is not for me but I don’t bag on it or any other places in town…
Anyways Monet is west of Santa Monica and yes it is a step or two down in quality to say the least. It is also technically in 92129 (penasquitos) while Santa Monica is 92127. Two actives I know of in Monet are at 699k and above and Santa Monica homes are generally in the 1M to start range. You cannot even compare the homes though due to the size of the homes themselves and the lots.
Also anything in the hills out there is a fire hazard. Take it or leave it.
