Coastal living in the artistic and iconic Venice community
Tucked between Marina Del Ray and Santa Monica, Venice joins its famed neighbors and is in the league of one of the most iconic beachside communities along the West Coast. As a renowned free-spirit, Venice is home to a lively surfing and skating scene, the myriad street performances that crowd the bohemian Venice Boardwalk, famed shops along Abbot Kinney Boulevard, reputable farm-to-table restaurants and a lifestyle centered around wellness and the outdoors. Venice has a laidback and inclusive character that welcomes people from all walks of life, and its artsy, chic and edgy personality has made many artists, designers, sports enthusiasts and progressive professionals call it home. “Venice is really a soulful artist community and the creative mecca of Los Angeles,” says Tami Pardee, founder of Pardee Properties, which was ranked as the top sales team on the Westside by The Wall Street Journal, and the Life Change Warriors foundation. “It’s weird and fun, and it’s a place for real people where you can be yourself.”

My experience in Venice overall has been quite interesting. I do love that I'm only a mile walk from the beach, but the homeless people in Venice constantly badger me. I've been hit in the face with clothing items by homeless individuals while on my way to the corner coffee shop. I've also been spit on. All this occurred while minding my own business. So while there are many fun places to shop in Venice the homeless population are a colorful group of individuals.

I've lived in Venice my entire life and I've had a great experience. I went to a great public school and have never had any safety problems. I have always been able to walk around the neighborhood without feeling unsafe. There are a lot of houses around, mostly families, I would babysit for many families in the area.

So much homelessness that needs fixing. There is huge gentrification that is seen everywhere and local businesses are going out of business or turned away.
