Buyer questions
Mar Vista FAQs
What kinds of homes are in Mar Vista?
Mar Vista is mostly single-family homes: original 1940s and 1950s bungalows and ranch homes, remodeled and expanded versions of them, and newer two-story rebuilds, along with some condos and small multi-unit buildings along the main corridors.
Is Mar Vista a good place to buy a first home on the Westside?
Many buyers choose Mar Vista because it is central to Venice, Santa Monica and Culver City and has a neighborhood feel. Emily helps first-time and move-up buyers weigh the trade-offs between an original home, a remodel and a new build.
