Buying Property in Mar Vista

Mar Vista is made up of several neighborhoods, including Miramar, La Jolla, Montevista and Dos Rios, and they differ. Many homesites are larger than 1¼ acres, while Dos Rios is set up as a condominium with smaller lots. Ask which neighborhood a property sits in and what its building and association rules are.

Elevation is the other big variable. Homes on the higher ridgelines tend to get the widest Pacific views, more breeze and more privacy, so ask how each lot sits on the hill. It's a strong fit for families, retirees and remote professionals who want space and quiet but still want the beach five minutes away.
