Map & Owner's Profile
Year Purchased: 1998
Why the Owner Chose Venice Beach
My wife Sylvia and I bought this duplex as an income property in 1998, and we rented it out to two separate tenants for years. Then in 2002, we decided to live the dream and move to the beach, where our daughter Mika, 11, could have her day in the sun and surf. We originally used the downstairs unit for our offices, but we lost the need for that and decided to rent it out in 2007.
The Unique Benefits at this Duplex
The unit is on Venice Beach two short blocks south of the Venice pier and two blocks from the Venice Canals. Just north is Washington Blvd, which terminates at the Venice pier, and has many eclectic shops, restaurants and bars. On Venice Beach you can lay out in the sun, swim, surf, take a walk, play volleyball, etc. Just half a mile north on the boardwalk is the crazy/famous part of Venice Beach, with stores and street vendors and artists, Muscle Beach, the chain-saw juggler, etc. On the boardwalk you can rent bikes and skates, eat, shop, or just stroll and enjoy the sights.
Owner's Map of Venice Beach
I moved from Texas to California in 1977 to attend graduate school at UCLA. In 1979, a buddy of mine convinced me to move to Venice and I have never left. IMHO, Venice is the best part of L.A. It is a funky bohemian beach town that includes the world-famous Venice Beach and the almost-hidden Venice Canals.

We just got home and I wanted you to know that we loved the place. You can't beat the location and we were very comfortable. Patti couldn't have been nicer. We hope to have the opportunity to rent from you again.
