The Homes We Work On in Mar Vista
The streets are lined mainly with 1940s and 1950s post-war homes — modest single-story houses on rectangular lots — along with scattered mid-century modern tract homes and newer two-story rebuilds. Original floor plans are typically under 1,500 square feet, which is why expansion is such a common goal.
Permits and Plan Check
Mar Vista is part of the City of Los Angeles, so LADBS issues permits and handles inspections, and most flat-lot residential projects follow the city's standard plan-check tracks. One pocket of the neighborhood — a noted mid-century modern tract — carries historic-preservation protections that affect exterior changes. We verify overlay status at the start of every project here.
Popular Projects in Mar Vista
- Room Addition: Growing families regularly expand the area's compact post-war footprints rather than leave the Westside.
- ADU / Garage Conversion: Detached garages convert readily, adding rental income or space for extended family.
- Kitchen Remodel: Small 1940s kitchens are the first thing most new owners want opened up and modernized.
- Backyard Remodel: Family-oriented yards with play areas and entertaining space match how the neighborhood lives.
