Mar Vista
Mar Vista is a neighborhood located in the western part of Los Angeles, California. It is situated just south of Venice and east of Culver City. Mar Vista is known for its quiet residential streets, tree-lined blocks, and diverse community. The neighborhood features a mix of architectural styles, including bungalows, mid-century modern homes, and new construction. Mar Vista is also home to several parks and recreational areas, including the Mar Vista Recreation Center and the Ballona Creek bike path. The neighborhood has a small commercial district with a variety of shops, restaurants, and cafes, as well as a weekly farmers market. Mar Vista is a popular destination for families and young professionals who appreciate its community feel and easy access to neighboring areas such as Santa Monica and Westwood.
Ninety years ago, Mar Vista was little more than vast fields of lima beans — with an amazing view of the Pacific. Today, those ocean views have helped Mar Vista evolve into one of L.A. most desirable Westside neighborhoods, with skyrocketing property values to prove it. Mar Vista is the land of large yards and beautiful trees.
