Venice

The picturesque canals and bungalows of Venice call to mind the Old World charm of its Italian namesake.

This small and unassuming neighborhood is one of Southern California's best-kept secrets, attracting well-heeled buyers who prefer Venice's understated elegance to the opulent mansions of other Westside enclaves. Once home to a thriving community of artists and hippies, Venice is now home to a diverse population that has come to include tech founders, restaurateurs, office workers, and everyone in between. The boardwalk is as vibrant as ever, with some of the best restaurants and cafes in Southern California eager to serve residents and their lucky guests.
