 Venice has had a long and colorful journey since Abbot Kinney purchased “worthless” sand dune and marshland acreage south of Santa Monica and dreamed of building a Venice-of-America, with the appearance and social, cultural heritage of Venice, Italy. People termed his development “Kinney’s Folly,” but quickly ate their words when crowds flocked to his seven canals, complete with Italian gondolas and gondoliers, the ornate Byzantine and Renaissance hotels along Windward Avenue and other attractions – and the people have not stopped coming since. |
|
 Celebrations of every kind, questionable and shock value entertainment, rocky politics and infighting led to a decline in the area earlier in the 1900’s.
Some of the canals were filled in and were paved over at that time. But thankfully, the municipal money ran out for the “improvements” and five canals still exist today – now highly prized and picturesque real estate. Charming restored, re-modeled and showcase homes line their borders. |
|
Much of the creative charge, the rebellion against tidy municipal mores – and the fun – is still an important element of the character of the area today, but it is also a place where a family, couple or individual living there can feel safe and comfortable.
The Venice art community, long a part of the demographic profile, includes some of the finest international stars today, drawn by the famously free spirit and open attitudes of the community. Stupendous murals, galleries, studios, advertising and media agencies and the famous annual Venice Art Walk bring residents and visitors a taste of this creativity. The eclectic architecture, often built or designed around lofts, commercial spaces, storefronts and beachfront homes, is also often highly individual and imaginative. |
|
Venice is also well known for great restaurants and cafes, for the non-ending flow and show of humanity along the famous oceanfront Boardwalk and for the many community services and participants. With its 32,000 residents and a very diverse and eclectic demographic, Venice is a welcoming community of great character and great heart. |
