Venice

Eclectic beachside homes in Venice
Echoing the creative spirit of the neighborhood, Venice homes often have small courtyards and are painted in a kaleidoscope of colors, ranging from shades of green, blue, aquamarine and yellow, contrasted by neutrals of white, terra cotta and beige. Craftsman bungalows are often spotted alongside Spanish Revivals, duplexes and multi-unit buildings, adding diversity to Venice’s landscape. Home prices start around $1 million for a 1,000-square-foot beach cottage or a surf shack from the 1950s, and the entry point for two-story properties is $2 million and may climb to about $4 million. Contemporary villas over 3,000 square feet tend to have open floor plans, large glass panels, backyard pools and views of the waterfront or the canals, and these homes may list up to $6 million.Shopping and dining along Abbot Kinney Boulevard
Locals may start out the day with a quick trip to Intelligentsia, a coffee shop serving fair-trade coffee. Head to the farmers market or Whole Foods Market for groceries, and make a stop at Flowerboy Project to pick up a fresh bouquet. For relaxed shopping, drive to the famed Abbot Kinney Boulevard and browse through popular storefronts, including Burro, which is known for novel home goods, Heist and Tortoise General Store. Vintage enthusiasts may find joy at Artist & Fleas, a throwback marketplace by fashion curators and vintage vendors. For dinner, those wanting upscale Italian may make a reservation at Felix Trattoria. The Rose Venice is a chic eatery offering farm-to-table Southern California fare where locals also stop by for coffee or cocktails to go. The Butcher’s Daughter and Café Gratitude offer more casual vegan options. Target is several miles away in Culver City.Enjoying the outdoors at Venice Beach
Residents have access to water activities, including surfing, boating, paddle boarding and kayaking at Venice Beach. Complete with a fishing pier, bike paths, playgrounds and a famed skating park, the iconic site is an attraction to locals, visitors and film crews alike. Take a bike ride along the Marvin Braude Coastal Bike Trail, a paved pathway that runs through the coastline of Santa Monica and Torrence. Residents may also venture to the Venice Beach Recreation Center for basketball and tennis, and take their pets for some off-leash fun at Westminster Dog Park. Bodybuilders can workout at the Muscle Beach Venice Gym. “There are lots of yoga, dance classes, roller skating, surfing and skateboarding; there’s a little bit of everything for everybody here, and that’s the beauty of Venice,” Pardee says.Local festivities in Venice
For recreation, locals may go on art hunts for street murals, check out Townhouse Venice, which is a vintage bar that dates from 1915, and take a quiet stroll along the Venice Canals and look over the homes by the waterfront. Those wanting to see impromptu and lively street performances can head to the Venice Beach Boardwalk. The Venice Fest is a summer market featuring some of Los Angeles’ most sought-after artists and brands. People can network and shop while enjoying food and drinks from local vendors. The Abbot Kinney Fest attracts approximately 150,000 visitors with over 350 artisanal vendors. The festival celebrates the Venice culture and lifestyle with live and immersive performances, food, beer gardens as well as carnival rides for children.Los Angeles Unified School District
