Looking for a Mar Vista real estate agent? Ali Alex Rad at Beverly & Company (California DRE #02098149) works with home buyers and sellers in Mar Vista (90066). Compare single-family houses, condos, outdoor space, and renovation potential with a search shaped around your priorities.
Start with how you want to use the home: the number of bedrooms, a dedicated work area, outdoor space, parking, and your preferred layout. Compare individual streets and properties in person. A larger lot or an updated kitchen can change the appeal of a home, but the right choice also depends on condition and your overall budget.
02
Compare the house and the lot
For single-family homes, look beyond the advertised square footage. Ask about permitted improvements, storage, access to the yard, and the relationship between indoor and outdoor spaces. If you are considering an addition or an accessory dwelling unit, verify feasibility with the city and qualified professionals before relying on that potential.
03
Selling your Mar Vista home
A useful pricing conversation starts with comparable properties, condition, layout, lot characteristics, and recent buyer activity. Alex can help you decide which features to emphasize, plan presentation and photography, and organize a marketing approach around your timing. Request a property-specific review to discuss your options.

A MORE INFORMED NEXT STEP
A Mar Vista shortlist built around the home you need
Make the first comparison about how each property works. A house with a garden, a condominium with shared maintenance and a home with proposed improvements call for different questions. Bring a short list of essential rooms, parking needs and the outdoor activities you want the property to support.
01
Start with usable space
Record where you would work, store equipment, park and spend time outside. During a viewing, trace the route from the parking space to the kitchen and from the living area to the yard. Measure important furniture and doorways with permission. Treat advertised room counts and lot size as a starting point for a closer review.
02
Separate the existing home from a future project
If your interest depends on an addition, converted garage or accessory dwelling unit, write down the proposed use separately from what exists today. Ask for the available plans, permits and completion records. Los Angeles City Planning provides a zoning search through ZIMAS; a map entry alone does not establish that your proposed work is approved.
03
Give the seller discussion a useful starting point
Before requesting a pricing review, assemble a concise improvement history and identify the features buyers should understand in person. Include layout changes, outdoor areas and parking arrangements. Alex can discuss a presentation plan and relevant property comparisons using the information available for your home.
The home-search page opens the broader Los Angeles search. Set your location filters there and confirm listing status with Alex.
PROPERTY RESEARCH
Official resources for Mar Vista
Use these public resources to prepare questions about a specific address. Records and guidance can change; confirm the current information with the responsible department. Los Angeles City Planning identifies the Gregory Ain Mar Vista Tract as a Historic Preservation Overlay Zone (HPOZ) covering a designated 52-parcel area—not all of Mar Vista. If an address appears to fall within the mapped tract, review its HPOZ map and preservation plan and confirm applicable review requirements with City Planning before planning exterior alterations or additions.
Recent reports show a high-value market, with different measures depending on the source and reporting period. Redfin reported a $2.3 million median sale price for the three months ending September 2026, up 2.4% from the same period a year earlier. Sotheby’s Q3 2026 report recorded a $2.32 million median sale price, 69 closed sales, and 44 average days on market. These figures use different time windows and methods, so they are useful context rather than a direct comparison.
Mar Vista includes single-family homes, condos, townhomes, and multi-unit properties. Buyers comparing homes can look closely at lot usability, renovation history, parking, and the specific rules or records that apply to each property. The Mar Vista Farmers’ Market runs on Sundays from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. near the Mar Vista Recreation Center, and the neighborhood sits close to Venice, Culver City, and Playa Vista.
For older homes or planned renovations, review permits and property records and check whether any historic-preservation rules apply before relying on a remodel plan. Confirm commute routes, insurance availability, and current property costs for the individual address.

Where can I start checking zoning for a Mar Vista address?
Use the City of Los Angeles zoning search and confirm that the address and parcel match the property. Bring questions about permitted work or a proposed project to the relevant city department and qualified professionals.
Can I begin a Mar Vista search while living abroad?
Yes. Share your time zone, travel plans and essential property features. Start with the international buyer guide, then discuss which homes need an in-person visit and which questions require specialist follow-up.
Can Alex help me compare Mar Vista houses and condos?
Yes. Share your budget and priorities so Alex can help compare the space, maintenance responsibilities, parking, and ownership costs of each property type.
How do I request a Mar Vista home valuation?
Contact Alex with the property address, its condition, any improvements, and your expected selling timeline. A market review can help inform a listing strategy; it is not an appraisal or a guaranteed sale price.
