Thoughts on Mid City, south of Venice but north of Washington? In process of purchasing first home and looking for thoughts on the area. Obviously not as nice as everything north of Pico, but it’s more affordable and (hopefully) on the upswing.

I lived one block north of Venice for 7 years (just moved this year). It was a good starter home neighborhood. It is getting better, but things went downhill during COVID. It is getting better again now. There are a lot of restaurants coming into the Adams area that are good. Very central for driving most places in LA.

You do have to be careful like many places in LA about crime. Catalytic converter theft very common so be careful if you have to park on the street. I didn’t feel comfortable walking around on my own at night (woman here), but was fine during the day.

Schools are not good if kids are a factor.

Know some folks with great homes in that area and there are more and more interesting restaurants, coffee shops, shops and more all happening.
