Venice Real Estate By The Numbers

Why The Score Is 51
Venice ranks above the middle on Price Growth, among the highest on Rent Growth, and among the lowest on Rental Demand. The score is the average of the three.
It is not a rating of Venice, its people or its schools, and it does not measure affordability. A higher or lower number only shows how these three housing-market numbers compare with other communities.

See how this score is calculated
The Housing Market Score compares this community with the other Los Angeles-area communities this site covers (the San Fernando Valley, the Westside, central Los Angeles and the Santa Clarita Valley). It is a resource for anyone comparing areas: buyers, sellers, landlords, tenants, investors and developers. A community with more than one ZIP code uses all of them: each ZIP code’s home values and rents count in proportion to its number of homes (the Census Bureau’s home counts), and the empty rentals and rental homes of all of them are added together. Each measure is turned into a rank from 0 to 100, then the ranks are averaged. A rank of 89 means the area is ahead of about 89 out of every 100 others on that measure. The bar below the score splits the 0 to 100 scale into four ranges (0–25, 26–49, 50–79 and 80–100). Selecting a range shows what it looks like for a buyer, seller, tenant, landlord or someone looking to invest, and the same four names label each measure bar. Price Growth is the change in Zillow’s typical home value over the last 12 months. Rent Growth is the change in Zillow’s typical rent over the last 12 months. Rental Demand is how few rental homes sit empty, from the Census Bureau’s rental vacancy rate (fewer empty rentals ranks higher). If a measure has too little data for an area, it is left out and the score says how many measures it used. The score describes housing-market numbers only. It is not a rating of the people or the neighborhood, and it is not investment advice.

A Short History Of Venice
Wikipedia says Venice was founded by Abbot Kinney in 1905 as a seaside resort town, originally called “Venice of America,” and that Venice of America opened on July 4, 1905. The Department of Recreation and Parks’ Venice Beach page has a timeline that lists “1905 – Kinney constructs Venice of America, canals and piers.”
According to Wikipedia, Venice was an independent city before it was annexed by the city of Los Angeles. The Department of Recreation and Parks timeline also lists “1925 – Los Angeles annexes Venice.”
The Venice Canals
Wikipedia says that when Venice of America opened, Kinney had dug several miles of canals to drain the marshes. Its article on the Venice Canal Historic District says a number of canals were filled in 1929 to make room for paved roads, that the number of canals was reduced from thirteen to six, and that the canals were renovated in 1992.
The article names four east-west canals (Carroll, Linnie, Howland and Sherman) and two north-south canals (Eastern and Grand).
The article lists the district as added to the National Register of Historic Places on August 30, 1982, and as Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument No. 270. The National Park Service’s NPGallery record gives the National Register Information System ID 82002193 and the location as roughly bounded by Grand, Carroll, Eastern, and Sherman canals.
Ocean Front Walk
The Department of Recreation and Parks’ Venice Beach page says the Venice Beach Boardwalk stretches over two miles and is also known as Ocean Front Walk. City Planning’s Venice Community Plan says the Venice Beach and Boardwalk stretch from Marina Court on the north to Yawl Street on the south, and that Ocean Front Walk is designated Mixed Use in the portion that extends from Westminster Avenue to Navy Street. Wikipedia’s article on the boardwalk gives 1905 as the year it opened.
