Barbie house? Batman’s bachelor pad? The story behind Santa Monica’s most meme’d homes
LA TimesTwo houses on the 1300 block of Palisades Beach Road in Santa Monica have gone viral on social media due to their stark contrast in style. It was just a fun Cape Cod-style property,” said WCI Group agent Jonathan Spica, who knows the owners of the pink house and handled the sale of the black house in 2021. Santa Monica’s Barbie house is often confused with the Barbie Beach House, above, a filming location in Venice Beach. While parts of the movie were filmed around Venice Beach and Santa Monica, Spica said the owners never heard from the film crew about incorporating the home — though they’d probably be open to it. “You can’t just pull over on PCH, so if you accidentally drive past it, it’s a disaster.” In the same way that passerby identify with either the pink house or the black house, the aesthetics of the homes seem to match with their respective owners as well.
