Wilshire-Montana encompasses the area north of Wilshire Blvd and south of Montana Avenue between 1st Court and 21st Street. The neighborhood's denser development makes it distinct from the North of Wilshire community east of 21st Street, althought both are often generically referred to by the same moniker. Community interests are overseen by the Wilshire Montana Neighborhood Coalition, with detailed information available on their website.

Wilshire-Montana is dominated by low-rise multi-family residential construction. Condominiums and townhomes are found intermixed with rental communities. A limited number of California bungalows have survived decades of densification and remain scattered throughout the neighborhood. These modest single family homes date back to early 20th century and sit in stark contrast to an even smaller number of newly built but comparatively large single family residences. In addition to newly built single family homes, many original bungalows on larger lots are giving way to small 2-4 unit multi-family projects where zoning permits.

Attached home prices in the area typically command between $600,000 and $1,500,000, although the smallest one bedroom units can be slightly less. Most buildings have parking allocations fronting both the street and a rear alley. Typical of attached product, homes in this neighborhood geneally range in size from 600 s.f. to 900 s.f. for one bedrooms, 800 s.f. to 2,000 s.f. for two bedrooms, and 1,500 s.f. to 3,000 s.f. for three bedroom configurations. Single family bungalows start around $1MM for original construction on lots as small as 1,500 s.f..
