Meier St, Mar Vista

I am most familiar with the section of Meier that runs from Little Palms Blvd to Venice Blvd, a four block stretch of mid-sized homes. The Northern-most block is lined with architecturally significant modern tract homes designed by architect Gregory Ain, as are quite a few of the surrounding streets between Palms and Marco.

The neighborhood is quiet, the neighbors are friendly and the streets are well-groomed. The neighborhood has improved quite a bit in the last 20 years, with many of the older homes in the neighborhood being bought by developers, demolished and replaced with brand new luxury homes.

At the intersection with Venice Blvd., one can find quite a few ethnic restaurants within walking distance. Of particular note is Hurry Curry, an Indian take-out place that has a great local following. The neighborhood is definitely in transition -- some of the older businesses are leaving and are being replaced by some more gentrified shops and restaurants.
