MAR VISTA

This neighborhood is on the hill with nice ocean breezes to take the heat away and just far enough from the beach to avoid the mob. Yet close enough to all the best things the great city of Los Angeles has to offer.

Some of the homes on the rising hills have views to the ocean south and west and many more have views of Los Angeles downtown, the Hollywood sign and the Santa Monica Mountains. Many of the homes range from just after WWI to shortly after WWII. These older homes are slowly being rebuilt into more modern structures with serious remodels to totally new modern construction. The newer construction is very valuable as they have strengthened the earthquake standards after the 1993 earthquakes.

There are several areas that are labeled as sections in the zone... "Mar Vista Hill" they are mostly on the top of the rise near Centinela and Palms. Streets like Mountain View and Ocean View are on either side of the top most street labeled appropriately Grand View Ave.

The Mar Vista Farmers Market on Sundays from 9 am to 2 pm at Venice Blvd was conceived by local business owners and neighbors who wanted to have a Mar Vista Town Square feeling.

Current Los Angeles City Council member Bill Rosendahl resides in Mar Vista. He was elected in 2005.
