Place overview

Named for the father of the “Venice of America,” this boulevard has become one of the trendiest streets in Los Angeles. Once lined with dive bars and hippie cafes, today Abbot Kinney Boulevard is a mile-long strip of more than 80 hipster stores and bustling restaurants. From designer clothing boutiques, such as Pamela Barish, to surf culture antiques at Surfing Cowboys to multi-million dollar artist lofts, Abbot Kinney attracts locals and tourists alike. In the past five years, property values here have doubled!
