Santa Monica incorporated on November 30, 1886, and grew as a seaside resort town through the late 19th and early 20th centuries, so its oldest housing dates well before most of the surrounding Westside. ## What Santa Monica does to a home appliance. In the 2020 census, 72.9% of housing units were renter-occupied versus 27.1% owner-occupied, meaning most of the city's older buildings are multi-unit rentals rather than single-family houses. City Hall, built in the 1930s under WPA-era programs, stands alongside period commercial buildings from the same decade, part of the city's older civic and commercial core. The city has run beach restoration projects since 2016 to address ongoing coastal erosion.
