Mar Vista is a small but active neighborhood located between Venice and Culver City. Mar Vista has been undergoing a lot of new development and change over the past few years. Thanks to the recent advent of the tech-fueled Silicon Beach over the past couple years, new eateries, shops, residential developments, and specialty boutiques have popped up all around Mar Vista. Today, residents and visitors enjoy plenty of community benefits, including great dining and shopping options. Situated mostly on Venice Boulevard bordering Centinela Avenue, the neighborhood is only a short distance from the beach as well as the downtown centers of Santa Monica and Culver City. With a great location and plenty of entertainment options, activities, and amenities, Mar Vista is one of the best neighborhoods on the city’s Westside.
