Venice
Venice has its share of skateboard-riding, flip-flop-wearing, surf-loving residents, to be sure. But the true in-crowds reside in the area's many walk-street enclaves, it's famed canals, Winward Circle and Abbott Kinney neighborhoods.
These neighborhoods are home to the remaining Venetian-inspired buildings built when Venice was founded by developer and dreamer Abbot Kinney’s as Venice-of-
America, a community initially modeled after Venice, Italy.
Venice offers high-density living in relative seclusion from nearby suburban sprawl. Where mostly lower-income singles used to live, affluent families often reside today.
