Top Spots in Venice

Looking for real estate in Venice and wondering where the top spots are? After all, you may have heard about crime-ridden areas or places that tourists seem to take over. Here’s how to find the perfect area for you.

Turn to Real Estate Agents

Venice Realtors can be your best friend when it comes to landing the right place. That said, housing laws do generally prevent them from giving you direct information on crime, schools and several other issues in case the comments are discriminatory. This may seem wonky, but there are good reasons for it. In any case, your Realtor can point you to third-party sources of information and may even have standby pamphlets for this purpose. Through these third parties, you can find qualitative and quantitative data on houses and condos for sale.

Visit at Different Times

Many areas are touted as top spots in Venice. For instance, anyplace with a water view seems like a winner. However, will the condo that seems perfect at 9 a.m. suddenly exhibit issues at noon or 5 p.m.?

Visit the property you want at different times of the day and different days of the week. You’ll get a better idea of the neighborhood, the parking situation, any foot traffic/tourists and your commute if you work. Perhaps there’s absolutely no parking to be found in the evenings around the prospective condo, and that bothers you. No problem—plenty of other Los Angeles real estate options are available (look at Santa Monica condos for sale, for example), or you can talk to the HOA about the situation.

What Your Goals Are

In the end, the top spots in Venice come down to your preferences. You’ll probably want different locations if you prioritize an easier commute to Los Angeles versus being as close to the ocean as possible.
