Venice

The Venice neighborhoods are detailed by residential and commercial districts. Venice has its share of skateboard-riding, flip-flop-wearing, surf-loving residents, to be sure. But the true in-crowds reside in the area’s many walk-street enclaves, it’s famed canals, Windward Circle and Abbott Kinney neighborhoods. These neighborhoods are home to the remaining Venetian-inspired buildings built when Venice was founded. Venice offers high-density living in relative seclusion from nearby suburban sprawl. Where mostly lower-income singles used to live, affluent families often reside today.

Venice is bordered by the Pacific Ocean on the southwest and by Marina del Rey on the southeast, by Culver City and Mar Vista on the east and Santa Monica on the north.
