Venice Beach Boardwalk and Beachfront Homes For Sale and For Lease on Ocean Front Walk, Venice CA 90291








The world famous Venice Beach Boardwalk is a great place for locals and tourists to shop, eat, people watch, walk along the beach, and be entertained for hours. It is located at Ocean Front Walk, Venice CA 90291 and is free to the public!
The Boardwalk stretches for about 2.5 miles along the Pacific Ocean and features performers, fortune-tellers, artists, musicians, and vendors. You can get fun souvenirs like paintings, photos, rocks, sculptures, bracelets and more! On the West side of the boardwalk are the small street vendors and on the East side of the boardwalk are the storefronts including t-shirt shops, sunglass stores, restaurants, tobacco shops, and bars.

Other attractions include the handball courts, paddle tennis courts, skate-park, beach volleyball courts, and bike trail. The world famous Muscle Beach where Arnold Schwarzenegger once worked out is also on the boardwalk and offers an open playground with weight lifting equipment, rope climbing, and acrobatic and gymnastics bars. At the southern end of the beach on Washington Blvd, there is the Venice Fishing Pier. The local surf spot in Venice is called the Venice Breakwater and is located between the Venice Pier and Santa Monica Pier. 

The Venice Public Art Walls are located at 1800 Ocean Front Walk, west of the bike path between Windward St to the South and Market Street to the north. These historic walls were built in 1961 as part of the Venice Pavilion and were always illegally painted with graffiti style murals. Although technically illegal, it was generally tolerated by the Police and enjoyed by the community. In 1999, the Pavilion was taken down and portions of the walls were preserved. As of the year 2000, it is legal to paint the wall, but you need a permit. For more information about the rules, visit http://veniceartwalls.com/rules/.

The Venice Beach Canals - Beautiful Waterfront Homes For Sale & For Lease, Tourist Attraction

Photo Credit: Rogerhoward at en.wikipedia
The Venice Canals of Venice, California were originally designed in 1904 by Abbot Kinney, an entrepreneur with a marketing vision to replicate the Venice Canals of Italy. He designed a series of 16 miles of manmade waterways on top of the existing wetlands to drain the area for a residential neighborhood and create a "Venice of America".

In 1924, most of the canals were filled because the city needed more roads. In that year, all but the remaining 6 canals that are left today were filled. Today, a few blocks of the canals still remain and you can walk along them in the area between the streets Washington, South Venice Blvd, Pacific Ave, and Ocean Ave. 

Some of West Los Angeles' most beautiful and luxurious multi-million dollar homes lie along the remaining canals. Most of these homes have their own docks and boats they can take on the water. Each canal has a few bridges that connect the two times. Although all of the bridges are very similar, each seems to be slightly unique. 

There are currently 5 properties on the canals for sale and 5 properties for lease, all with amazing views right on the canals! There are four single-family homes priced at $2.1 million, $2.249 million, $3.2 million, $5.25 million (an amazing contemporary masterpiece), and $6.5 million. There is also a 2 unit (8 bedrooms total) income-produce/investment/rental property listed at $3.2 million. Lastly, there are 5 properties available for lease priced at $8,450/month, $8,950/month, $12,000/month, $14,500/month, and $15,000/month.

Check out this $5.25 million contemporary mansion right on the canals (the price has not been updated yet, it is currently listed at $5.25 mil): http://www.trulia.com/property/166302-5110-Pacific-Ave-Marina-del-Rey-CA-90292
