Venice

Venice was built as a genuine seaside fantasy town in the early 1900s, complete with canals modeled after its Italian namesake, and while most of that original network was paved over decades ago, a handful of the original canals still remain, and the small bridges and walkways around them make for some of the most distinctive residential streets in the city. Housing here is a real mix, small original beach bungalows from the 1920s and 30s squeezed onto narrow lots, newer architect-designed infill homes that push modern design right up against the older cottages, and denser development closer to the boardwalk.

The boardwalk itself remains one of the most chaotic and iconic stretches of coastline in the country, and that same eclectic, anything-goes energy runs through the rest of the neighborhood, from Abbot Kinney Boulevard's mix of high-end boutiques and longtime local shops to the murals and street art scattered throughout residential blocks. Venice has always attracted artists, surfers, and people who specifically want the unpolished, creative edge that's harder to find in more manicured beach communities nearby, along with a growing number of tech and entertainment professionals drawn in more recently by the same energy, even as it's pushed prices up substantially. What hasn't changed is that people move here for the ocean and stay for the particular, slightly chaotic character that Venice has never quite lost despite decades of change.
