Venice
When tobacco mogul Abbot Kinney came to California he wanted to copycat Venice Italy.
Venice has had a colorful past and present and of all the California beach cities—Venice is easily the most eclectic and funky.
Mix it up! Middle class tract single family units, California bungalows, apartments, newer condos and customized beachfront property reflect housing. The canals depict postcard living where ducks, bridges and whitewashed balconies with flower boxes are forever charming.
Venice is famous for Muscle Beach and its never-ending boardwalk parade blends cultures, sidewalk entertainment and a gamut of goods for sale.
On Abbot Kinney Blvd., new media companies neighbor to cafes, modern furniture, tattoo parlors, art galleries and antique stores.
Los Angeles Unified School District serves the area and ranking is between 30 and 70th percentile. Venice is part of the City of Los Angeles and crime is average for a beach resort city.
Commuters drive 11 miles to downtown Los Angeles and four miles to LAX.
