Anara Santa Monica is an apartment community at 2200 Colorado Avenue in Santa Monica, managed by Bozzuto. Listing data gives a 1969 build year, so this is an older building with updated, contemporary interiors rather than new construction. It offers one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments.

Listed amenities include a pool, spa, fitness center, business center, elevator, package receiving and on-site management. The community is smoke-free. In October 2026 the listing advertised up to 10 weeks free on base rent for select units. The pet section of the listing was not clear, so confirm the pet policy with leasing before you apply.

How these rents compare

For context, the Zillow Observed Rent Index (ZORI) for ZIP code 90404, which covers typical asking rents across all apartment types and ages in the area, was $3,299 in September 2026, up 0.8% from a year earlier. HUD’s FY2027 Small Area Fair Market Rent for 90404, effective October 1, 2026, is $2,880 for a one-bedroom and $3,550 for a two-bedroom. Luxury buildings like Anara Santa Monica typically ask well above those area-wide benchmarks, because they are newer or offer amenities, views and services that older buildings do not.

Among the other buildings we profiled this month, starting asking rents ranged from $2,260 (Hope + Flower) to $4,595 (The Glendon). Similar options:

• Via Avanti (Sherman Oaks), from $3,361
• Los Altos (Mid-Wilshire / Hancock Park edge), from $3,300
• Sunset Vine Tower (Hollywood), from $3,400
• Shoreline Gateway (Downtown Long Beach), from $3,460

Is this building right for you?

Good fit for: Santa Monica office workers, renters who want a three-bedroom in Santa Monica, and anyone who prefers a mid-rise building with a pool to a tower.

Probably not for: Renters who want brand-new construction or to walk to the beach.

Budget check: using the 30% rule, the cheapest unit we saw ($3,340) calls for roughly $134,000 a year in gross household income. Many large buildings also require income of 2.5 to 3 times the rent. Check your own numbers with our rent affordability calculator and estimate first-month costs with the move-in cost calculator.

Rent control: the City of Los Angeles Rent Stabilization Ordinance generally covers buildings inside city limits with a certificate of occupancy dated on or before October 1, 1978, so most newer luxury towers are not covered, though California’s statewide cap (AB 1482) can apply to buildings more than 15 years old. Cities such as Santa Monica, Culver City and West Hollywood have their own rules. Older buildings like this one deserve a closer look. Our RSO calculator explains how to check.

Touring tips

• Ask which specific units are available and on which floors; view and floor height can move the rent by hundreds or thousands of dollars in the same floor plan.
• Request the full monthly cost in writing, including parking, pet rent, storage, utilities and amenity fees.
• Ask whether specials are given as free weeks up front or spread across the lease, and how that affects renewal pricing.
• Visit at rush hour and at night to judge traffic, noise and garage access.
• Read lease terms for minimum length, early termination and renewal caps before paying a deposit.
