Venice Blvd. in Mar Vista and Culver City and Lincoln Blvd is Venice is very rundown despite those areas massive increase in housing prices but that will probably change in the next decade.

Yes. It will take time for those areas to change. The light rail may help Culver City and Mar Vista in the long run.

?????

Don't know you and NY dude are trolling or just don't know what you are talking about. There's a plethora of current business and restaurants lining both streets with marginal crime levels. Stores like Whole Foods.

*Shrug* no on has to take my word for it. Do a street view on google maps. And that's from April, 2015. Things have improved even more since then.

Venice Blvd. west of the 405 has been fully gentrified. Lincoln is well on its way. I wouldn't consider either to be "very rundown".

Yeah I could see perhaps not upscale like some parts of the city..but not sure about very rundown.
I guess it's all relative.

Yeah, I agree. Anyone who knows Venice from 20 years ago knows we are talking night and day.

Abbot Kinney Blvd. has overtaken Robertson Blvd in the last ten years as the spot for "chic" retail (and high rents).

To go out at night in Venice 15 or so years ago and stumble out of the Brig or Hal's at 2am you had to be very weary of your surroundings. Even the Venice Boardwalk is getting interest from upscale boutique hotel developers.

And while the long-term trend in Venice has been revitalization and gentrification, the emergence of the tech/silicon beach thing in the last few years is only accelerating it even more.

There is quite a difference in Venice , more dining options for sure . There were just a few places before . Venice has never been dead though as its consistently been a tourist area and prices of real estate have been on the high end even for LA for quite a while now .
No doubt silicoln beach has had an effect . I know there are some companies that were in the Venice beach / Santa Monica area that have moved to el Segundo and other areas because of lower rents or because they need more space . There is a very large complex , office space and retail that has been built in el Segundo . Taxes are also lower there .

Does anyone remember a place in Venice years ago called
Van Goghs ear ? It was a really cool place I remember from growing up
Van Goghs Ear - CNN iReport

I think Southwest LA is coming soon. There's already construction on another metro rail along Crenshaw Boulevard.

Wouldn't be too surprising. Proximity to DTLA alone is a huge benefit with the way DTLA has been developing.

Still some single family homes under 400k.
This one looks pretty nice.
