Outdoor Kitchen in Mar Vista

About Mar Vista

Mar Vista represents the heart of LA's creative middle class, a neighborhood where mid-century ranch homes sit alongside California bungalows and sleek modern new builds. Originally developed in the 1940s and 50s, these homes feature the clean lines and indoor-outdoor flow that defined post-war California architecture. Today, young families and creative professionals are drawn to Mar Vista's tree-lined streets, award-winning Farmers Market, and strong sense of community. The neighborhood's 6,000-8,000 square foot lots offer genuine outdoor living potential, yet many backyards still feature aging 1950s concrete, poor drainage systems, and a surprising lack of shade given Southern California's sunshine. Mar Vista homeowners increasingly seek outdoor spaces that honor their home's mid-century heritage while adding modern amenities, fire pits for cool evenings, drought-tolerant landscaping that cuts water bills, and entertainment areas that extend their living space outdoors. With coastal influence keeping temperatures moderate year-round, Mar Vista backyards are primed for transformation.
