About this place

A tranquil residential canal district that preserves a fragment of Abbot Kinney's Venice-of-America dream. Footbridges, walkways, and water reflections make it one of the Westside's most distinctive historic landscapes.

Trivia

The canals are a remnant of a much larger early-20th-century network designed to evoke Venice, Italy.

Visiting tips

Stay on public walkways and bridges; homes along the canals are private residences.
